Brabus has created an upgrade kit to replace the short wheelbase three-door G-Class.

Mercedes-Benz discontinued the SWB G-Class in 2011, but the German tuner hasn’t stopped making the three-door G-Wagen. Brabus used a G500 BA3 Final Edition G-Class unit that was built in 2011. It rides on huge Monoblock E alloys with a massive 22-inch nine-spoke Monoblock E wheels.

Brabus’ standard Widestar body kit gives the G-Class a more aggressive look. The interior is finished with red and black leather in opulent colors. The engine details are not yet available, but the “6.1” lettering can be taken to mean that the displacement of V8 engine has increased from 5.5 to 6.1. This has definitely provided a healthy power increase over the series 388 HP (285kW) and 530Nm (391lb-ft).
