BRABUS G-WAGEN V12 S Biturbo with 700 hp



The World's Most Powerful Off-Roader:
BRABUS G V12 S Biturbo with 700 hp (690 bhp) / 515 kW and 1,320 Nm (973 lb-ft)


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 4x4 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 4x4 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.

Lottery Win I would have that in my stable of cars.


Every Year we go to the Geneva show, every year the G wagon is STILL there and looks ACE !!!


4.3 seconds to 60 and built quite litterally like a tank. Have you guys seen under one of these. They are superb !!!


Love it. Thanks for posting !!!
 
Can you imagine nipping down the shops in that?


Would cost about £25 in petrol mind ;)


Id still mod it and fit a Black star grill & tint the windows.
 
I find these G wagons very ugly and just too old school... yet there is something about these things that makes me want one quite badly! I drove past a new AMG the other day and I couldn't stop looking at it in my mirrors as I drove away. This Brabus takes it to a whole new level, amazing car.
 
My wife hates them....

My dad had a 280GE SWB back in 1996 when they were new, apart from this being LWB it basically outside IS the same.

Thats what I love. every year its the one car at the shows that we talk about. ALL the others come and go.....

This would be simply awesome although I feel the chassis on our caravan would also need some modification from Brabus to cope with the power :) :)
 
I was waiting for Brabus to release the "S V12" engine in the G-Wagen as an upgrade to the GV12.
An awesome machine! If I have the dough, I'd but it over a G55!

Just what the doctor ordered for the cure to the credit crunch :D

Its perfect, and I'd love one of these monsters if money was no object. Perfect for antagonising the sort of people that need antagonising.
 
Rev it up out side a green party convention....

Its kinda good value too. Think about it, its safely in the top band of VED as it will emit lots of CO2 so at least the £400 is better value for money than taxing an S500. For that £400 (i.e. top band VED) I would want to put out as much CO2 as a physically could. This car fufill the value for value argument






(just don't mention the £350k+ price tag when trying the "this is our next car" discussion with her indoors)
 
Can you imagine letting that go a full throttle, It'd be like sitting astride the missile in Dr Strangelove...not so much dribving it as just hanging on and hoping.
 
Nice of them to hover the gear surround before takening pics!

+ 1
 
Do you think they actually ever sell any of these or are they a loss leading engineering exercise akin to look at how big my willy is!

I#d guess most of their money is made on chipping diesels, selling wheels and badges to people who look at these one offs they build and feel they are buying a piece of the action....kind of like AMG....merchandising, and done very well I might add.
 
That is so over the top and unnecessary.





And I just LOVE it!!
If I ever won the lottery, I would be buying one of those at the same time I place my order for the SL
Good to see that Mercedes can still makwe such stunning cars.
 
Weld an RSJ to the front and plough through those lesser vehicles that get in the way.:devil:
 
What a beautiful car...I would love to own this car... The styling is much to my taste, with only on major exception...I wish the front grill had the MB logo...still each to their own!
