BRABUS XLP 800 6×6 Adventure: The Off-Road Apex Predator With Six Wheels & No Limits

The BRABUS XLP 800 6×6 Adventure is a creation so unapologetically over-the-top that it exists in a class above the rest. Nothing comes close to it in terms of exclusivity or capability. It’s an 800hp, six-wheeled juggernaut, forged with the singular purpose of conquering every road, every desert, and every mountain it lays its gaze on. 

Based on the current Mercedes-AMG G 63 (W 465 series), the BRABUS XLP 800 6×6 is the next evolution of the six-wheeled BRABUS icon. You can find it listed by BRABUS Middle East on DubiCars.

Design & Exterior: Intimidating Engineering

Transforming the already beastly G-Class into a six-wheeled monster meant tearing up the rulebook. The ladder frame has been stretched an incredible 1,530mm with a bespoke steel module engineered to shrug off torsional forces most vehicles would crumple under. The result? A pickup-like silhouette that looks like it was designed to storm another planet.

The cargo bed is pure BRABUS MADNESS, made from aerospace-grade pre-preg carbon fiber or soft teak, complete with integrated lockable storage and surrounded by the BRABUS skeleton. Up front, the XLP 800 6×6 wears its WIDESTAR design like armor. 

An Aggressive Facade

With a carbon grille surround, a skid-plate-style lower fascia hiding a 4,500-kg winch, a carbon power dome hood, and an illuminated roof rack bristling with LED light bars, this performance pick-up certainly looks like it can take on the post-apocalyptic world with ease. All while being glamorous enough to grab eyeballs at a supercar meet. 

And then there’s the light show. Carbon-fiber WIDESTAR fenders house LEDs that illuminate the running boards. Approach the vehicle, and the BRABUS logo lights up in sync with the underbody and entry lights. At the back, a carbon-fiber tailgate insert proudly displays the Brabus name, flanked by yet another skid plate. It’s all detail, all drama.

BRABUS Twin-Turbo V8: 800 Reasons To Step Aside

Underneath the sculpted hood is a 4.0-litre twin-turbo V8, but it is so much more than AMG’s standard-issue V8. BRABUS has upgraded it by replacing the standard turbos with in-house high-performance turbochargers, dialing in 1.6 bar of boost to unleash a colossal 800hp and 1,000Nm. That power is sent through a 9-speed automatic transmission and fed to all six wheels. 

Brabus Performance & Soundtrack

From zero, this three-axle leviathan rockets to 100km/h in just 5.8 seconds, a figure that’s hard to comprehend when you take its immense 4.5-tonne weight into consideration. Top speed? Electronically capped at 210 km/h, not because it can’t go faster, but simply because its enormous all-terrain tires might file for early retirement.

And then there’s the soundtrack. The BRABUS stainless-steel exhaust system comes with active valves, letting you switch between subtle rumble and full-on thunderstorm-like V8 bellow. The twin side-exit pipes framed in exposed carbon fiber with sinister red illumination further add to the drama. 

Wheels & Suspension: Six-Wheeled Supremacy

BRABUS didn’t just slap on an extra axle for show. It has proper six-wheel drive. The XLP 800 6×6 rides on military truck-style portal axles, with billet aluminum components precision-milled for both strength and visual flair (finished in signature BRABUS red, of course). Ground clearance? An absurd 470mm, taller than some compact cars. For comparison, the standard G63 AMG has a ground clearance of just 238mm. 

The suspension is a result of a collaboration between BRABUS and KW suspension. It has titanium-coated aluminum struts and adaptive damping that can be adjusted from the cockpit. Whether it’s crawling rocks in the Wadis, bashing the dunes at Liwa, or just cruising down Sheikh Zayed Road, the setup is engineered perfectly to make this giant handle like an SUV on stilts.

The wheels are no less special: 22-inch Brabus Monoblock HD forged alloys with an eight-bolt pattern, wrapped in massive 325/55 R22 Pirelli Scorpion ATR tyres. They look the part, and they provide the traction that matches the XLP’s godlike power.

Interior: A Bespoke Soul

The Brabus XLP 800 6×6 proves that brute force doesn’t always require sacrificing finesse. The cabin is swathed in handcrafted leather with Brabus’s signature quilting, meticulously perforated to work seamlessly with the in-seat climate control. Even the sun visors and headliner get the treatment, combining leather and Dinamica microfiber.

But it’s the details that elevate it from luxury to art. High-gloss carbon fiber accents adorn the steering wheel, trim, and pedals, while illuminated entry sills match the ambient lighting. Passengers at the rear aren’t left out either. Auxiliary gauges in the headliner keep them looped into the action, displaying time, speed, and more. And for those seeking more entertainment, the dual 11.6-inch screens are more than sufficient. Every bit of the interior is customisable to each buyer’s tastes and preferences.

The Masterpiece Of Excess

The Brabus XLP 800 6×6 Adventure is neither subtle nor is it for everyone. And that’s exactly why it’s brilliant. It takes the already legendary G-Wagon as the base and pushes it to its absolute, physics-defying extreme, with six wheels, 800 horsepower, portal axles, and handcrafted luxury that could rival a private jet.

The BRABUS XLP 800 6×6 Adventure is a statement of intent. A reminder that while others build cars, BRABUS builds legends. For the few who demand the ultimate, this is it.
