BRABUS 900 SUPERBLACK

In Germany, we drive the Brabus 900 Superblack, perhaps the most menacing avatar of the mental Mercedes-AMG G 63.

THE G-Class or the G-Wagon is one of the most iconic cars in the modern world. But then, when most people talk about G-Wagon, they are referring to the proper V8 animal- the Mercedes-AMG G 63. It sounds absolutely insane, it goes like a demon, and it can probably out-look most other SUVs available in the world. Now, can you do... more with it? Can someone do something to enhance all of its already grandiose aspects? Most people might say no but Brabus says hold my b... bottle. So here I bring to you the Brabus 900 Superblack- the Brabusized idea of a G-Wagon.

If I have to explain it in terms of presence, it feels like getting on and off a chariot. A deep black chariot that Batman would love if he was vintage. A chariot powered by a 4.5-litre twin-turbo V8. A 900 bhp and 1250 Nm that does 0-100 km/h in 3.7s on the way to a top speed of 280 km/h. Finally, when you muster up the courage to poke and prod it, it sounds like an earthquake and feels like that too thanks to the torque. Based on all that, this is some chariot! But let us start in our usual flow and talk about this massive and massively fast car.

First of all, the looks. The G63 AMG is already a stunning car. It stands out because of its muscular and boxy design. Despite that, Brabus has gone to great lengths to make it stand out even more. When you decide to go for a Brabus, you go for it seeking exclusivity and with the 900 Superblack, Brabus has done just that. An extensive amount of bespoke materials and exquisite craftsmanship have gone into making this car a narcissist's dream.
