Brabus have already showcased one insane creation coming to Geneva, which of course is the supercar-killing Mercedes-Benz C63 S they’ve modified to produce a mega 641 horsepower<\/a>. With that done, the German tuning house has turned their attention to G-Class vehicles.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

This may come as a surprise because it is certainly not the norm, Brabus have stripped at the original 5.5-litre twin turbo motor and replaced it with a smaller 4.0-litre powerplant producing a reasonable 422 horsepower.<\/p>\n

Although it has a smaller displacement, it’s tuned to produce 493 horsepower with 710 Nm of torque. Brabus’ very own Brabus B40 500 PowerXtra is the result of the performance upgrade, with a performance module implemented into the V8.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Still weighing in at roughly 2.5 tons, Brabus G500’s can sail from 0-100 km\/h in 5.7 seconds and cruise at a top speed of 220 km\/h.<\/p>\n

As with the C63 S, it’s not just an engine tune, this G-Wagen features Brabus’s iconic widestar kit both inside and out. Front bumper with extra LED strips and Brabus’s logo on either side, slick five-spoked black rims on each corner and branded exhaust pipes sticking out either side made from stainless steel.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Inside, unique upholstery trims with hints of aluminum, carbon fibre and wood, plus a range of colours for leather and Alcantara seats. Being a luxury vehicle, Brabus are giving customers the freedom to create a truly bespoke vehicle. It’s so bespoke you can even choose the colour of the engine covering, although there seem to be only two options: Black and Red.<\/p>\n

If a standard G500 is not large enough for you, you could always go for the previously unveiled Brabus G500 4×4\u00b2. Featuring a similar engine setup, it’s rated at 493 horsepower as well it’s 0-100 km\/h time dips below the seven second mark. With its electronically capped top speed of 210 km\/h, it’s even more of a beastly vehicle.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Adding carbon fibre around the outside doesn’t help too much as these G500 4×4\u00b2 still weigh in at over 3 tonnes. There are noticeable differences such as the rear spoiler, hood scoop, new radiator grille and an extra panel underneath said grille branded with the Brabus B.<\/p>\n

Fitted with bespoke leather interior options with contrasting accents and all standard features of G500 4×4\u00b2. Make no mistake, it may be luxurious and cost more, however, it’s off road capabilities are to be utilised properly and not a city vehicle.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

What’s next for the German tuning company? We’ll just have to wait and see.<\/p>\n
