Brabus 800 Adventure XLP Superblack

At the Geneva Motor Show in 2020, Brabus presented the Brabus 800 Adventure XLP, which underwent Superblack treatment. It is a car based on the Mercedes-AMG G63.

The car is painted in Obsidian Black Metallic, and a lot of carbon was used in the construction. It is equipped with a modified and improved suspension with an aluminum portal axle, which lifts the car 19 inches (49 cm) off the ground to overcome even the toughest terrain. It is 27.1 inches (68.9 cm) longer than the base model, without a rear spare wheel, so its length is now 5.31 meters.

The complete interior is upholstered in black leather combined with carbon details. The Brabus inscription can be seen everywhere, from the sills to the seats and floor, while the Brabus logo is located on the seat headers. The car bears the markings “77”, which refers to 1977, when the company was founded.

The Brabus 800 Adventure XLP Superblack is powered by a 4.0-liter twin-turbo V8 engine with 800 hp (588 kW) and 737 lb-ft (1,000 Nm) of torque. Power is transmitted to all wheels via a nine-speed automatic transmission. It reaches 62 mph in an impressive 4.8 seconds, making this car one of the fastest pickups in the world. The vehicle’s top speed is electronically limited to 130 mph (210 km / h). It is mounted on 22-inch wheels that may not be ideal for harsher surfaces, but they come with all-terrain tires.
