Brabus goes Large
In the so-called “tuner’s hall”
at Frankfurt, excitement is always at a premium. And arguably the leader in this division
is Brabus, makers of ultra-fast
Mercedes-based cars as well
as breathed-upon versions from
16
other manufacturers, such as
Land Rover.
A highlight on the Brabus stand
in 2015 is the Brabus 850, based
on the Mercedes G 63. This
hard-core off-roader becomes
even more down and dirty after
Brabus massaging, with its 6.0-li-
tre V8 boasting increased capacity and bigger turbos producing an insane 625 kW and
1 450 Nm of torque!
The 0-100 km/h time is conservatively listed at 4.0 seconds, with
top speed limited to 262 km/h.
Whoo hah!
