This absolute behemoth is the Brabus 900 XLP!
That’s right - Brabus has got its hands on the G-Wagon and turned it into an absolutely outrageous pick-up truck!
So let’s take a look at what you get over the standard G-Wagon. Clearly, the main change is the load bed around the back, coupled with a whole load of carbon fibre covered oh-so-much of the exterior. There are also a number of huge vents and air intakes… Even if most of them are fake. Either way, it looks pretty damn mean! Oh, and the ground clearance has been increased from 21cm to 49cm!!
On the inside, the carbon fibre theme continues, with carbon found throughout the cabin. The seats also come with an all-new leather design, and high-quality materials can be found absolutely everywhere, including leather in the foot wells and Alcantara on the roof! There are also some updated digital dials.
Of course, the changes aren’t just cosmetic. Normally under the bonnet, you’d find a 4-litre twin-turbo V8 that can put down 585hp and 850Nm. But of course, Brabus went to work on this too, and now you’ll find a 4.5-litre twin-turbo V8 that’s good for 900hp and 1,050Nm!!
Pretty impressive, right? Well, of course, there’s a catch… Not only is it limited to a run of just 10 units, but it’ll also set you back £670,000!! But is it worth it? Let’s find out!

I love the attitude is this design. It's foot to the floor , in your face. Nothing was left alone. Everything was improved. It's like Brabus said , "Here it is, the price is this ,if you can't pay it, fxxx off then." Definitely a statement of power, wealth and control. Love it.
1:47 there's something special about it [the exhaust] that I will show you later on (proceeds showing it lightened up while making the previous announcement)

Nice review matt , that brabus looks and seems awesome. I was hoping you would let us here the exhaust ☹
As an American from Texas, i find it adorable when Europeans describe these vehicles as "massive". The trucks here now just come from the dealer's with 4"-6" inch lifts on 35"-37"s. They start at about $75,000.00. Is it ridiculous? Absolutely, but it is what it is. I have an f250 platinum on 37's. It's a b*tch to park, but anybody in a car just gets out of the way. Practical....nope. the tailgate is right at the top of my shoulders, and i have to have automatic drop down steps to get in. Do i get great gas mileage? Not even close. I get about 14mpg.....on the highway. Do i love it? F*CK YES!!!
