Brabus G-Wagon Pickup is the most outlandish G-Class we have seen, and that is no small achievement. Brabus calls it a road-focused supercar, which is a stretch, but it sits far happier on tarmac than any standard G-Wagon. Still, the cheeky bed and 888 horsepower make it impossible to ignore.
Brabus G-Wagon Pickup Gets A Bed
Behind the rear seats sits a new steel bulkhead with a heated rear window, while the floor and tailgate are formed from metal. The side panels switch to lightweight carbon fiber, which keeps the rear end honest on weight. Cargo capacity remains a mystery, and frankly the bed exists for the photo op rather than the hardware store. Much like the 2021 Toyota Tundra TRD Desert Chase SEMA Concept, this is utility wearing a tuxedo.
Outside, enlarged intakes, an illuminated Brabus grille and carbon flares give it a monolithic stance. Coilovers drop it 1.8 inches, and 24-inch wheels with black spokes fill the arches. Red-glowing tailpipes and a matte black sports bar over the bed finish the job. Ground clearance has clearly been sacrificed for pavement poise.

Bored Out Twin-Turbo V8 Muscle
Brabus kept the twin-turbocharged V8 but bored the cylinders to 84 mm, lifting displacement from 4.0 to 4.4 liters. Forged pistons, a billet crankshaft and two larger turbochargers running 20 psi complete the internal surgery. Upgraded fuel delivery, new downpipes and a stainless exhaust support the increase.
Output peaks at 888 horsepower at 6,200 rpm, with 922 lb-ft arriving at 2,900 rpm. Torque is electronically capped at 774 lb-ft to protect the transmission, which tells you how hard this engine works. Brabus claims 0-62 mph in 3.7 seconds, a figure that would embarrass plenty of sports cars.
