Here’s a mad one from Frankfurt. The Brabus B63S-700 6×6 is the tuner’s take on the Mercedes-Benz G63 AMG 6×6, which Merc describes as having “the last word in forward-thrusting power far from the beaten track”. If so, this black beast is nothing less than a monster, because AMG power is never enough for the boys from Bottrop.
The small-series production G63 AMG 6×6, which has low-range ratio, five differential locks and portal axles, is powered by a 5.5 litre biturbo V8 with 544 hp. Brabus’ B63S-700 performance kit, which is also applicable to the normal G63 AMG, “unleashes the inherent power slumbering in the turbocharged V8 engine.” To realise a major power bump, the peripherals of the V8 have been modified extensively.
The stock turbochargers are replaced by two Brabus turbos with a larger compressor unit for higher boost pressure. Brabus Gold Heat Reflection sheathing for the intake and charge-air pipes further lower the charge-air temperature. This contributes equally to the power yield and durability, which also manifests itself in Brabus’ warranty of three years or 100,000 km.
In addition, high-performance metal catalysts with 75 mm downpipes are installed to lower back pressure. The stainless-steel sport exhaust system with controlled butterfly valve was custom-developed for both power and active control of the exhaust note, which has a subtle “Coming Home” mode and a loud “Sport” position. The pipes are at the sides. The engine management system has been retuned, of course.
The final result is 700 hp at a low 5,300 rpm and 960 Nm of torque between 2,000 and 4,500 rpm, a big jump of 156 hp and 200 Nm from the standard engine. The powerplant is mated to the AMG Speedshift Plus 7G-Tronic automatic transmission.
That amount of firepower would turn cars into supercars, but this six-wheeled heavyweight does the 0-100 km/h sprint in 7.4 seconds, which is respectable when you consider its kerb weight of 3,850 kg. The heavy-duty off-road tyres the 6×6 wears means that top speed is curbed at 160 km/h.
Looking to sell your car? Sell it with Carro.
They have truly gone mad!
wonder why the 6×6 configuration is needed since the rear trunk is not that huge to carry heavy loads..
oops sorry..to carry torpedos and bazookas perhaps..lol
Exterior manly but interior girly so this is for sissy?
when i first saw this truck, im not sure what the main purpose for buying this monster. super engine with 6×6 for what reason? maybe rich person will buy it for their collector item..mm..
because they can!
at toll plaza will be under class 3 toll fare…but whoever buy this must be rich enough..
the ultimate S&M machine!!!
suitable for military use, or extreme off-road enthusiasts.
I’ am not too sure about that, it may look bad ass but it dosen’t have the capability of some military vehicle like the the GAZ Tigr or Pinzguer (due to size and technical complexity). It’s definitely a monster desert dune off-roader, but anywhere else that 6×6 arrangement reders it useless.
Personally, what it is is a show-stopper, and ultimate display of wealth and social power. And being a Mercedes it could be the perfect car for dictators to replace their old Mercedes 600 Grosser.
humvees are better.
Suppose Al-Kaedah has ordered a few hundred of these
no …The Expendables will use it :)
I needed to take a deep breath to digest all of those in
Somehow it looks skinny, where does the weight go, to the bottom of the chassis, I guess.
From the pics, the flesh is so little, with big butt and shoulders.
Tak cantiq, tak apa, bukan Mercedes pun tak apa, asalkan size mesti betul-betul besar and nampak besar juga, kerana para pelanggannya sudah ada kereta-kereta mewah dan cantiq, mereka mahu sizenya. Size does matter.
Ugly like old 60’s lorry
*vomit*
That is just beyond cool….
One hell of a beast, but definitely not a chick magnet… “eeeeuuuwww,i taknak keluar dgn you sbb you drive lori”
eeeeeuuuuww….like lori sampah…with extra track to carry more lap sap.
wake up proton, brabus already got 6 wheelie and u still 4?
opss sory..6 wheelers not wheelie.
lol if like that then proton will sell 18 wheelers after this
Still having nice interior…
Sabahan will get this monster with the lower pay road tax…
It’s pretty useful when you’ve done hunting elephants and wanna bring it back home.
so powerful also no point…can’t survive Camel Challenge in Malaysia.
