The Continental SportContact 7 tyres, specially engineered for ultra-high performance, are designed to deliver the balance of grip, responsiveness, and durability that high-powered vehicles demand. For the ROCKET GTS, the front axle is fitted with 275/35 ZR 21 tyres, while the rear axle boasts the more robust 335/25 ZR 22 setup. This setup is mounted on BRABUS Monoblock P "PLATINUM EDITION" wheels, featuring five spokes and central locking. Together, the tyres and wheels support the ROCKET GTS's hybrid engine, channelling its impressive 1,000 hp (735 kW) and up to 1,820 Nm of torque to the road with superior traction and stability.
Designed to reach top speeds safely, the ROCKET GTS can accelerate from 0 to 100 km/h in a rapid 2.6 seconds, thanks to Continental's high-grip SportContact 7 technology. Although the vehicle’s top speed is electronically limited to 317 km/h, its high-performance tyre setup ensures confidence in handling, braking, and responsiveness across high-speed conditions.
Continental and BRABUS have a long-standing collaboration, with the SportContact 7 tyres also chosen for BRABUS's iconic high-performance models, the BRABUS 930 and the limited-edition BRABUS Rocket 1000 "1 of 25." The SportContact 7’s recent accolade from AUTO BILD sportscars, which awarded the tyre an "exemplary" rating with an overall score of 1.2 in the sporty driving segment, highlights its strength as a premium choice for supercar applications. As the ROCKET GTS takes its place in the exclusive BRABUS Collection 2025, Continental’s SportContact 7 tyres play a crucial role in elevating the car’s performance and safety standards.
The limited-edition ROCKET GTS showcases the dedication both BRABUS and Continental have for pioneering automotive excellence, offering enthusiasts a combination of luxury design and peak performance on the road.
