The Bottrop based tuner has been at it again and this time debuts their AMG G63 based Brabus 900 XLP with a healthy 662 kW. The bespoke performance bakkie will be limited to a production run of only 10 units which is why it demands such an eye-watering price tag.
Not too long ago, Brabus unveiled the bonkers 800 Adventure XLP which is also an AMG G63 based model that was capable of a mere 588 kW and 1,000 Nm. This was apparently insufficient for the tuner who has now taken the same base-model and turned it up to eleven. The latest Brabus 900 XLP now employs a sizable 4,4-litre V8 underneath the muscular bonnet which packs a whopping 662 kW and 1,250 N.m compliments of the original turbochargers being replaced by Brabus’ bespoke pair. The torque is limited to 1,050 N.m to ensure powertrain longevity and make sure nothing gets too twisted under all of the torque.
Courtesy of the stroked displacement and powertrain tweaks, the Brabus 900 XLP can sprint to 100 km/h in 4,4 seconds and top out at 210 km/h. This has been limited considering it is running Pirelli Scorpion ATR all-terrain tyres which measure in at 325/55 and wrap around 22-inch forged wheels which have splashes of red all around their circumference and spokes.
In fact, just about every detail of the new Brabus 900 XLP, whether it be interior, exterior or concealed mechanical components, follows this theme of red tones complimenting the otherwise subdued grey bodywork. These polished grey extremities of the adventurer would theoretically be safe of most off-road obstacles considering it comes with 490 mm after Brabus opted to go with portal axles as opposed to standard.
The considerable modifications to the AMG G63 based Brabus 900 XLP mean that it is only limited to 10 units and therefore can demand a hefty price tag. Now would be a good time to sit down, because the latest bakkie from Brabus goes for €658,625. This equates to just over R11 million, a sum of money that can fill a garage with a tasteful collection of high-end cars.
