The BRABUS 820 is a BRABUS-developed upgrade for the Porsche 911 Turbo S Cabriolet, not a separate factory Porsche model. BRABUS says its P38S-820 conversion raises the donor car’s rated output from 478 kW/650 hp and 800 Nm to 603 kW/820 hp and 950 Nm. Those are manufacturer figures, not independently verified test results.

What the BRABUS 820 is

BRABUS describes the 820 as a customized Porsche 911 Turbo S Cabriolet. The company’s history page identifies it as its first product based on a Porsche model and dates its official reveal to 2022. That is BRABUS’s own account of the launch. BRABUS history

The performance conversion is identified as the P38S-820. It builds on the Turbo S rather than replacing Porsche’s model with a standalone BRABUS platform; exterior, wheel, suspension and cabin specifications can depend on the particular vehicle.

BRABUS 820 performance claims

BRABUS’s 2022 press release attributes the figures below to a 3.8-liter twin-turbo flat-six. Its release gives both hp and bhp, which are not interchangeable labels: it specifies 820 hp (809 bhp), alongside 603 kW. BRABUS 2022 press release

The stock comparison and conversion figures appear on BRABUS’s P38S-820 product page; the acceleration and speed figures are also in its press release. BRABUS calls the performance values approximate: results can vary with vehicle type and equipment, tare weight, final gear reduction, wheel-and-tire combination, gearbox and aerodynamic add-ons. Treat the table as the manufacturer’s comparison, not a promise that every converted car will reproduce those results. BRABUS P38S-820 product page

What BRABUS changes

For the P38S-820 power upgrade, BRABUS lists two special turbochargers with larger compressor units, larger turbine wheels and modified VTG adjustment. A processor-controlled BRABUS PowerXtra auxiliary control unit, adapted to Porsche engine electronics, complements the turbocharger changes. BRABUS P38S-820 product page

The launch specification also describes exposed-carbon aerodynamic components, height-adjustable BRABUS sport springs and staggered 21- and 22-inch BRABUS Monoblock Z “PLATINUM EDITION” forged wheels. These are described as package elements, but they should not be assumed to appear identically on every 820. BRABUS 2022 press release

A complete car listing is not a model MSRP

A separate BRABUS listing showed one 820 cabriolet at a gross asking price of €405,157.25, with 2,895 km listed mileage and a particular equipment specification. That figure describes the listed vehicle, not a standard price for every BRABUS 820; listing availability and terms can change. BRABUS vehicle listing

What to verify before committing

Because the conversion is vehicle-specific, compare the exact donor car and written scope rather than relying on the 820 badge or headline output alone. BRABUS identifies vehicle and configuration factors that affect performance; its cited pages do not establish warranty consequences or approval status for an individual car.

  • Confirm the donor’s exact 911 Turbo S model year and Cabriolet configuration.
  • Get the proposed parts, installation scope and final quote in writing, including the relevant market, taxes and any required dependencies.
  • Check the actual wheel-and-tire setup, vehicle mass, gearbox, rear-axle gearing and aerodynamic additions against the configuration covered by the performance claim.
  • Ask BRABUS and the relevant local authority about warranty terms, emissions or road approval, and registration requirements for the car’s country.

Product prices and availability are accurate as of the date/time indicated and are subject to change. Any price and availability information displayed on Amazon at the time of purchase will apply.
