Brabus unleashes 500hp G-Class

The new Mercedes-Benz G-Class might not look new (it looks pretty much identical to the old one), but is in fact all-new under the skin, which is all the excuse that the insane tuning people at Brabus need to have a go at it. They've taken the standard 4.0-litre twin-turbo V8 engine and tweaked it up to 500hp, along with 710Nm, which is enough to push this wheeled garden shed to 62mph in just 5.7 seconds, and on to a limited top speed of 130mph. You can back up that firepower with a truly obnoxious body kit, which includes front and rear spoiler, roof light pod and a radiator grille that lights up in blue. You can even spec those Monoblock wheels up to a massive 23-inch diameter. Inside, you can have breathable Mastik leather and Alcantara trim and Brabus even (somewhat mysteriously) says that "turning a Mercedes into a movie theatre or office on wheels is yet another Brabus specialty that is also being realised in the new Mercedes G-Class." Netflix and chill in the back of the Brabus, anyone?
