Brabus wants to celebrate the 30th anniversary of the Gwagen in their own way, and their way is something rather special. And who said the horsepower war is over?!  This angry looking G you see here got 700hp and a massive 1320 Nm of torque. They better call it the O.G now! because it’ll be respected like an O.G everywhere it goes.

The powerhouse under the bonnet is based on the same 600 V12 but Brabus played their magic on it so it is not a 5.5 liter no more, it’s a 6.3 liter gas guzzler and with the help of new crank and cylinder heads and also new camshafts plus larger turbochargers with optimized intercooling and new stainless steel exhaust system it develops as mentioned above, 700hp, 123 more than the standard V12. The amount of torque in this engine is ridiculous! 1320 nm from 2100 rpm. They actually had to limit it to 1100 nm to prevent it from crushing the gearbox! which is a 5-speed automatic. Although this madness it covers Euro4 emission standard.

At this level of power the performance is really scary, specially when you are in a car taller than a Range Rover. However, the 100kmh is met from stand still within 4.3 second which is Lambo fast but the top speed is limited to 240 kmh. But Brabus offers a voluntary self-limitation mode that locks the speed at 260 kmh but if you opt for that, it’s all on you if anything terrible happend!

Apart from the power, Brabus G V12S features a killing look to live up to the fury of the engine. This black monster is one of the coolest looking cars we’ve seen in years. Brabus modifications has made the look of the car even simpler than before but my God it’s sick. Those daytime LED lights along with the massive Brabus wheels are the finest touches added by the German tuner.

As for the interior the first and coolest thing is the illuminated door sills with Brabus logo. You also get a high-end luxury treatment here, full leather trimming, a full multimedia system with DVD, TV tuner, gaming console and eight inch monitors for the back seats and wireless infrared headphones to name a few.

The Brabus G class V12S is one helluva car but it comes for a hefty price! 379,000 Euros. Ouch!

Press Release

BRABUS G V12 S Biturbo: The world’s most powerful off-roader comes from BRABUS (Brabus-Allee, D-46240 Bottrop, phone + 49 / (0) 2041 / 777-0, fax + 49 / (0) 2041 / 777 111, Internet www.brabus.com). It is built by hand based on the latest Mercedes G-Class. The exclusive five-door is powered by a BRABUS SV12 S displacement engine. Like all special models of BRABUS – recognized by the German Vehicle Registration Agency as a vehicle manufacturer – the BRABUS G V12 S Biturbo comes with a comprehensive luxury package. The ultra-powerful 4×4 starts at 379,000 Euros.

The BRABUS SV12 S engine is based on the V12 Biturbo engine from the latest Mercedes S 600. Before being implanted in the engine bay of the G-Class, displacement of the three-valve engine is increased from 5.5 to 6.3 liters (336 to 384 cubic inches) using a special crankshaft with longer stroke, larger cylinders and larger bore. In addition, the cylinder heads are re-machined and fitted with special camshafts.

The engine peripherals were upgraded with larger turbochargers, an optimized intercooling system and a stainless-steel high-performance exhaust system with free-flow metal catalysts. The exahust was custom-developed for the G-Class and features dual chrome-plated tailpipes that exit in front of the rear wheels on the left and right side. New precision mapping for the engine electronics coordinate the perfect interaction of all new components. The results are an exemplary smooth-running engine and maximum power yield while meeting the strict limits set by the EURO IV emission norm.

In the G-Class the BRABUS S V12 S displacement engine produces 700 hp (690 bhp) / 515 kW at 5,100 rpm. The turbocharged twelve-cylinder engine delivers its peak torque of 1,320 Nm (973 lb-ft) at 2,100 rpm. In the car, the peak torque is electronically limited to 1,100 Nm (811 lb-ft).

The BRABUS G V12 S Biturbo offers acceleration performance almost unimaginable for a true off-roader: Combined with a special five-speed automatic transmission and permanent four-wheel drive the exclusive SUV catapults itself from rest to 100 km/h (62 mph) in just 4.3 seconds. Top speed is limited electronically to 240 km/h (150 mph). Without the self-imposed limit the high-tech G-Class model could reach 260 km/h (163 mph).

This superior performance necessitates the use of custom-tailored BRABUS Monoblock wheels. Below the subtle fender flares is room for Monoblock light-alloy wheels with diameters between 20 and 22 inches, mounted with high-performance tires from Pirelli or YOKOHAMA. The forged BRABUS Monoblock VI 10.5Jx21 light-alloys are shod with size 295/40 R 21 tires front and back. BRABUS offers a wide selection of ten-inch wide wheels in the five different Monoblock VI, E, G, Q and S designs with a diameter of 22 inches.

For optimal handling BRABUS equips the special model G V12 S Biturbo with a comfortable custom suspension. To keep the incredible performance safely in check at all times the BRABUS high-performance brake system comes standard.

The body of the BRABUS G V12 S Biturbo is distinguished by sporty yet elegant aerodynamic-enhancement components. The BRABUS front apron with its LED daytime running lights below the main headlights lends the 4×4 an even more striking face. The rear is customized with the BRABUS rear bumper.

The BRABUS designers have developed special caps for the standard running boards of the Mercedes G-Class. They add some visual pizzazz to the G-Class and for added practicality feature integrated LED lights activated by the key fob or by opening a door. They illuminate the running boards in the dark.

The custom interior of the BRABUS G V12 S Biturbo is highly exclusive as well: It includes an ergonomically shaped sport steering wheel, a speedometer with 280-km/h scale (175 mph), stainless-steel scuff plates with illuminated BRABUS logo and a handcrafted BRABUS fully leather interior made from especially soft and breathable BRABUS Mastik leather.

Upon customer request BRABUS transforms the SUV into fully functional all-terrain office on wheels or can integrate a custom-tailored high-tech multimedia system with state-of-the-art communication technology, DVD changer, DVBT TV tuner, game console and eight-inch LCD screens in the back of the front headrests. The sound in the rear compartment is reproduced by infrared headphones.
