This is the car that Mercedes did not build, but Brabus did: a 6×6 based on the current G-Class!
The Mercedes G-Class has already been the basis for countless special creations. And the craziest creations do not come from tuners, but from Mercedes itself. Based on the previous one G-Class they came with the G 63 6×6, the G 500 4×42 and the G 650 Landaulet, all crazy cars.
Of these three models, only the 4×4 has2 made a comeback with the new generation. This means that the G 63 6×6 remains a one-off promotion Mercedes. Which makes sense, because it was a pretty crazy project.
Yet a G 63 6×6 of the current generation has now been spotted in Düsseldorf. How is that possible…? The answer is of course Brabus. They thought: if Mercedes doesn’t do it, we will. The result is this Brabus XLP 900 6×6.
The new G 63 6×6 from Brabus is, if possible, even larger than the previous one. It was already quite impressive with its 5.87 meters, but this one simply exceeds 6 meters. To be precise, this monster is 6.18 meters long. Thanks to portal axles, this 6×6 also has more than sufficient ground clearance: 47 centimeters.
At Brabus you can choose from two variants: the XLP 800 Adventure and the XLP 900 Superblack. The Adventure has more of an off-road look, including a bull bar at the front. This is the XLP 900 Superblack, which has more of a ‘sporty’ look with a lot of black.
Instead of a paltry 800 hp, the Superblack has 900 hp. The well-known 4.0 liter V8 has been increased to 4.2 liters. This also results in a monstrous torque of 1,250 Nm. This means that this enormous colossus can reach 100 km/h in just 5.2 seconds. During a traffic light sprint, this thing can easily keep up with a Maserati GranTurismo.
The top speed is less impressive for a car with 900 hp: it is limited to 210 km/h. The edition is not limited to a specific number of copies, but we suspect that not many will be built.
Spotter @justawheelchairguy has made a very special catch with this car. That is why this spot is the Autoblog Spot of the Week. Have you come across something special yourself?
