The Brabus 800 Adventure, a German brand’s rugged version of the Mercedes AMG G63, will be debuting at the Geneva Motor Show. The company redesigned the SUV by adding a pickup to the back and tuning its twin-turbo V8 to 789 horsepower (500 kilowatts) as well as a 738 pound-feet (1,098 Newton-meters of torque) The drivetrain is equipped with portal axles to conquer harsh terrain. A Wingcopter drone can be attached to the back as an additional touch.
Brabus estimates that the 800 Adventure XLP can travel 62 miles an hour (100 km per hour) in 4.8 seconds. This is quite impressive for such a large machine. The company has to keep the maximum speed at 130 mph (210 km/h) due to the 22-inch all-terrain tires.
Brabus increases the wheelbase by 19.7 inches (50 cm) to make room for the pickup bed. The vehicle measures 17.4 feet (5.31m) and is 27.1 inches (68.1 cm) longer than a stock G63 without a spare wheel. According to the company, the modifications to the frame preserve the G-Class’s torsional rigidity.
Steel is used to build the cargo bed, while carbon bedsides keep it light. A heated rear window is also available. The body has a new hood featuring prominent scoops and a bullbar with integrated winch. The roof has a luggage rack that can be used to transport gear into the wilderness.
The 800 Adventure XLP has a custom suspension with 19.2 inches (49 cmimeters) of ground clearance.
