Did Brabus ruin this G63?

Meet the Brabus G700!
It’s an absolutely raucous, in-your-face version of the regular AMG G63. The question is, is it an improvement over the regular G-wagon? And does it warrant the eye-watering £300,000 starting price?!
For starters, let’s check out the design. As with any Brabus, it comes with even wider wheel arches than the standard G and redesigned front and rear bumpers. It also comes with several Brabus badges in place of where you would normally find a Mercedes 3-pointed star, and there are a whole load of fake vents around the wheel arches, as well as a huge scoop on the bonnet that leads absolutely nowhere!
Step inside and the G700 is all pretty similar to the regular G63. The only difference you’ll find are the green inserts on the seats, as well as many Brabus logos throughout. But otherwise, you wouldn’t know you're in a Brabus instead of an AMG!
One area where there’s been a big change is the engine! Under the bonnet, you’ll still find a a 4-litre twin-turbo V8, but it’s had a new ECU fitted, so as a result it now puts down 700h and 950Nm! This power is sent to all four wheels via a 9-speed automatic gearbox.
So it’s about as in-your-face as it gets, but is it really worth around £100,000 more than a regular AMG G63? You’ll need to stick with Mat and see for yourself!

Thats because it is from the 80s😂 it's been offered by Mercedes as a civilian model since 1979 and the design has basically not changed since. It was actually developed as a military vehicle since 1973 so technically it's actually from the 70s. A very long time for a car to be in production

It's only a "700" model and still lots of black plastic bits, that's the model for soccer players that play in 2nd division. The 1st division players have at least an "800" model with all carbon fiber bits and a bright orange interior and if they're really good they might even have the "900 rocket" model with a Tiffany blue interior and extra Mansory crap all over. 😅😂😂

This car is fairly well specced, it has the brabus widestar kit ( 24 grand for just the fenders) but no bespoke interior

Brabus is a brand aimed at the kind of people that, while being millionaires, would still grab and keep any wallet they saw unattended.
Green hell magno was first used on the Mercedes AMG GT-R, I’ve only ever seen it on that, once. Very rare colour tbh.
Has anyone else noticed the resemblance of the 700 on the engine cover with the 007 logo (without the trigger)?

9:53 nice Branding
Hi carwow! I just wanna ask one question, why don’t you use Lexus IS 500 F sport performance in the races? Can you fix that? Thank you
Green Hell Magno paint is exclusive for AMG GT-R. So Brabus made their own slightly different version or get permission for original paint colour from Mercedes.
I'd take the performance pack for the engine, the 24 inch wheels and tuned exhaust but keep the factory tips. That's it.
It's a shame the new G63s have now been recalled and discontinued until they can find a solution to the premature rusting issues that will send the car to the scrap yard quicker than the car can do 0-60 mph.
Matt should compare this with the Mansory P900
This is an Extended work of art 🎭🎨. Good not bad. But I prefer the stock G63 G Wagon. It's unique for a specific target 🎯 market. Nice work Brabus. Good work by Benz for the stock G63 G Wagon. Fantastic work by Carwow specifically Matt. 8/10 Brabus Wagon. 9/10 Benz Wagon.

It's not that simple. It is fully legal in the EU. But what is much more important, Brabus cover the driveline warranty instead of Mercedes. That is what you also pay for. Sure some "tuner" can do something similar, but then you are on your own and hopefully won't get pulled over and asked to do an emissions test.
