Now no one in their right mind would ever dream of accusing any vehicle in the [Mercedes](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/mercedesamg-2022-sl)-AMG range to suffer from a lack of power, but that isn't the point here -- as usual, Brabus has spotted some for improvement, and has gone ahead and taken the vehicle in question to the next level. With its tune-up, Brabus has given the AMG GT S an extra 90 horsepower, not to mention an array of [carbon fiber styling changes](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/2027-bentley-continental-gt-supersports). The vehicle is equipped with a special plug-and-play control module for the GT S that bumps peak power all the way up to 600 horsepower, with a peak torque of 553 pounds-feet. The Brabus AMG GT S has actually managed to take a Mercedes-AMG offering and make it better, which takes some doing. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 6.8/10 - Popularity: 99% | Activity: 98% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 50% men, 50% women - Primary generations: Millennial, Gen X - Top markets: North America, Europe ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Autos](https://www.trendhunter.com/autos) ## Key Themes ### Key Themes Behind This Trend - **Carbon Fiber Styling:** Opportunity for businesses to offer carbon fiber modifications for vehicles, enhancing style and performance. - **Vehicle Tuning:** Disruption in the automotive industry by providing custom tuning services to boost horsepower and torque. - **Plug-and-play Control Module:** Innovation opportunity to develop and market easy-to-install control modules to enhance power and performance in vehicles. ### Where This Applies - **Automotive Customization:** An industry that can capitalize on the trend of carbon fiber styling and vehicle tuning. - **Automotive Performance Parts:** Opportunity for businesses to manufacture and sell plug-and-play control modules to enhance vehicle performance. - **Automotive Aftermarket:** Opportunity for businesses to offer post-purchase modifications and enhancements to improve vehicle performance and aesthetics. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Track-Ready Sports Cars](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/gt-black-series.md) - [Monochromatic Diamond-Like Luxury SUVs](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/brabus-800-xlp-superwhite.md) - [Powerful Soft-Top Convertibles](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/mercedesamg-2022-sl.md) - [Bespoke EV Conversion Kits](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/eqs-450.md) - [Opulent Extreme Environment SUVs](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/brabus-xl-800-cabrio-gwagen.md) - [Gold-Tinted Luxe Automobiles](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/grand-edition-gwagen.md) - [Dazzling Rose-Hued SUVs](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/mercedes-gclass-stronger-than-diamonds-edition.md) - [Reimagined Iconic SUVs](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/reimagined-iconic-suv.md) - [Modified Luxury Vehicle Concepts](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/modified-luxury-vehicle.md)
