Brabus B63S-700 is one crazy 6x6

We've already seen the Mercedes Benz G63 AMG 6×6 and just when we were writing it off as just another 6x6 with 544bhp to its name, Brabus stepped up and upped the ante. The German after market high-performance tuning company reached into its bag of tricks pulled out a rabbit. It used the stock G63 6X6’s 5.5-liter, twin turbo V8 which churns out 544bhp and turned upped the power which now stands at 690bhp and the torque delivered stands at a staggering figure of 960Nm.

Brabus claims that the 6x6 can go from 0-100km/h in 7.4 seconds, not bad for a car that weighs close to four tons. To coax the additional power from the V8, Brabus replaced the production turbos with a pair of larger units of its own design which are capable of higher boost pressure, and then wrapped the intake and charge-air plumbing with the tuner’s “Gold Heat Reflection” sheathing to lower air temperature.

Brabus also tweaked the engine mapping to make sure the high-po components exist in harmony, and also to meet Euro V emission-control standards. Power is channeled through AMG’s SpeedShift Plus seven-speed automatic transmission but the 37-inch off-road tyres do not allow the 6x6 to go beyond 160km/h.

Brabus mounts a bespoke front spoiler below a signified grille, affixes a large carbon fibre scoop on the hood. Inside, Brabus’s in-house upholstery shop crafted an exclusive treatment with topstitched leather accented by aluminum pedals and door-lock pins. Mind you it's some shade of red on the inside.

For all the outrageousness of the Brabus B63S-700 6×6, arguably the most intriguing factis that Brabus Tuning offers a three-year/62,000-mile warranty on the powertrain. And good news for anyone interested in more traditional ludicrousness: Brabus says the B63S-700 performance gear can be fitted to four-wheeled G63 SUVs, too.
