Germany-based Brabus has announced that the world’s most powerful 12-cylinder off-roader will once again come from its stable

Fifteen years after the presentation of the first Brabus G V12 at the Geneva Motor Show 2004, the development engineers of Brabus again implanted a twin-turbo V12 high-performance engine into the body of the Mercedes G-Class the Brabus way. Albeit, this time into the current W 463A model series.

The 6.3-litre increased-displacement engine producing an output of 662 kW / 900 hp (888 bhp) and 1,500 Nm (1,106 lb-ft) of torque is mated to a nine-speed automatic transmission and all-wheel drive. It gives the new supercar a performance on the road that is unique for an off-roader tipping the scales at no less than 2,660 kg. With a zero to 100 km/h (62 mph) sprint time of just 3.8 seconds and an electronically limited top speed of 280 km/h (174 mph), the Brabus G V12 900 is the fastest road car of this model series ever built, Brabus says.

The new high-performance off-roader captivates not only with its tremendous power and with the exceptional road performance for a vehicle of this category. The vehicle body is enhanced with the spectacular Brabus Widestar widebody, which creates space for Brabus “Platinum Edition” hi-tech forged wheels with a diameter of 23 inches and also 24 inches. The electronically adjustable Brabus Dynamic Ride Control suspension offers an ideal combination of outstanding ride quality and safe, agile handling.

An exclusive Brabus fine leather interior rounds off the luxurious appointments of the vehicle. Prices for the new Brabus off-roader of superlatives start at €605,055 (export price excluding VAT in Germany).
