Brabus 's latest thoughts on the Mercedes G-wagon.

Itis powered by the 5.5 liter V8 engine delivering 550 hp and 780 Nm of torque which is making oil execs worldwide very happy.It shoud do 0 to 60 in under 5 seconds and is limited to 250km/h.

As for me, this 30yr old icon is looking as good as it ever did! I'l have mine black on black to be parked in front of the local greenpeace office :cool:

that side exhaust is awesome!My uncle had the last of the old G500s (with the previous gen S-Class engine, but the old school interior), which had side exhausts. The sound that car made was stunning - much quieter than my dad's car, which had the same engine but with lots of sound deadening. This one, i can imagine, will be an absolute monster. They're sexy as hell.

sexy - G-Class - Brabus - side exhausts

those words can't stay in the same sentence. and i like the standard G-Class, but not as a good looking car.

I think in doing so you might be proving their point, not yours (in case you have any:cool:)

I'm resolutely anti-SUV, but for some reason an AMG pimped G-class really does it for me. I think it's because it still looks like it can go off road, and to an extent probably still can.

Just what the world needs.

This is a gimmick that NOBODY needs and its because of gimmicks like this that the both the auto-industry and car-lovers are under attack.

I know, I know. I shouldn't like it.

But it's a bit like a Bowler Wildcat "GT". No nonsense motoring coupled to a great engine.

An all rounder.

That is badass. And thats what makes it cool. It's an SUV that when people say Why you say because they can.

The G-Classes greatest asset it's it's fitness for purpose. or at least it looks that way. the 20 inch wheels and lowered stance probably don't do the best job for it's off road capability.

But it's like the Land Rover Defender - a car that looks just as good black on black outside a nightclub as it does coated in mud at the top of a Fjord.

Want and I don't care who knows it.
