The renowned German tuning company Brabus has unveiled a new, extreme version of the Mercedes AMG G63 called the Brabus XL 800, representing the pinnacle of modifications to this legendary luxury off-road vehicle. This version is far from a simple upgrade; it embodies boldness, power, and luxury, delivering tremendous performance and a unique design that surpasses rivals such as the Land Rover Defender in the off-road realm.
Unprecedented Ground Clearance
One of the standout features of the Brabus XL 800 is its ground clearance of 470 mm (18.5 inches), which is 119 mm (4.7 inches) higher than the standard Mercedes AMG G63 4×4² that has a ground clearance of 351 mm (13.8 inches). This remarkable height is achieved thanks to a new suspension system equipped with portal axles, a dedicated front axle, and a special coil suspension system called Brabus RideControl.
This elevated clearance enables the vehicle to conquer the toughest terrains and gives it an imposing presence on any road, even under the harshest conditions.
Distinctive Exterior Design That Turns Heads
The Brabus XL 800 comes equipped with a Widestar body kit made from carbon fiber, which noticeably widens the chassis with broad fender extensions featuring integrated air intakes. The sporty power dome hood, front and rear bumpers, rear spoiler, roof-mounted LED lights, retractable side steps, and dual side exhaust pipes further enhance its aggressive and unique look.
The vehicle rides on 22-inch forged Brabus Monoblock Z/HD alloy wheels wrapped in Pirelli Scorpion all-terrain tires, boosting its off-road capabilities and completing its commanding appearance.
Notably, unlike most traditional G-Class models, the XL 800 does not carry a full-size spare wheel mounted on the rear door.
Luxurious Interior With Every Detail Perfected
Inside, the Brabus XL 800 features the luxurious “Masterpiece” treatment, including hand-stitched slate gray velvet leather upholstery and extensive carbon fiber trim throughout the cabin. The roof is lined with premium Dinamica fabric, and even the sunshades are adorned with carbon fiber accents.
To enhance both luxury and functionality, the cabin is equipped with additional screens for rear passengers and special overhead gauges providing the driver with extra information.
Twin-Turbo V8 Engine With Massive Power
Under the hood, the Brabus XL 800 uses an upgraded version of the AMG 4.0-liter twin-turbo V8 engine, producing an astonishing 788 horsepower and a massive torque of 1000 Nm (737 lb-ft). This immense power allows the vehicle to accelerate from 0 to 100 km/h (0-62 mph) in just 4.6 seconds-a remarkable feat for such a large and tall SUV.
The electronically limited top speed is set at 210 km/h (130 mph), a sensible limit given the vehicle’s height and off-road focus.

The official price of the Brabus XL 800 in Europe is approximately 643,338 euros, which translates to about 2,800,000 UAE dirhams (around 763,000 US dollars).
In Dubai, prices for Mercedes Brabus G 800 models range from about 999,000 AED (approximately 272,000 USD) for used versions to 1,999,000 AED (around 545,000 USD) for new and more luxurious variants.
