The Brabus 900 XLP returns the G-Class pickup with 888 hp.

Mercedes-Benz no longer offers a G-Class pickup, but the prolific Brabus tuner has backed the idea.

Brabus introduced him the first G-Class pickup in 2020, and now it’s back with a more powerful version. Called the Brabus 900 XLP, it is limited to just 10 units.

The arrangement of the bed involved increasing the wheelbase by 20 inches (increasing the overall length by 27.1 inches) and designing a new rear window, according to a Brabus press release. The bed itself is made of a mixture of carbon fiber, composites and steel, the latter being used for the floor and trunk doors.

The bed is not the only external modification. Brabus has also equipped the 900 XLP with its Widestar body kit with wings that increase the width by 4.6 inches compared to the standard G-Wagen. They cover the monoblock Brabus wheels wrapped in all-terrain Pirelli Scorpion tires. The kit also includes a new front panel and hood with double scoops, as well as a carbon fiber finish. The winch and light bar complete the look.

Power is provided by the 4.5-liter twin-turbocharged V-8 used in other Brabus assemblies. It produces 888 horsepower, which is sent to all four wheels via a 9-speed automatic transmission. Peak torque is a staggering 922 lb-ft, but it is limited by electronic means to 774 lb-ft to protect the transmission, Brabus claims.

Brabus cites a 0-62 mph acceleration in 4.4 seconds. According to the company, the top speed is electronically limited to 130 mph because of the truck’s all-terrain tires. But the speedometer rises to 186 miles per hour.

The 900 XLP also has its own Brabus suspension system, but retains adjustable Dynamic Select settings from the standard G-Class. The travel height can also be adjusted.

The Brabus show car has a black leather interior with red glazing for all the plastic trim details, with some carbon and aluminum details. The company will create interiors to the taste of individual customers. The interior also includes a clock designed by Panerai watchmaker.
