Introducing the latest addition to the Brabus lineup: the Brabus 800 Adventure XLP Superblack. This extraordinary supercar comes with a striking all-black theme both inside and out.
The Superblack edition boasts eye-catching exposed-carbon elements, '800' logos tastefully adorning the body, and signature stripes integrated into the carbon radiator grille, all complemented by a Brabus signet proudly showcased on the rear against a pristine white backdrop.
What sets this edition apart is Brabus' unwavering commitment to enhancing off-road capabilities. Engineers have meticulously crafted this vehicle to offer substantial ground clearance, optimal axle articulation, and an extended wheelbase, achieved by skillfully relocating the mounts for the rear wheel suspension. This ensures that the Brabus 800 Adventure XLP Superblack is not just a high-performance supercar; it is also ready to conquer challenging terrains with ease.
The design approach for the G Class focused on introducing independent suspension at the front while retaining the traditional rigid axle at the rear, which is a hallmark of the base model. Achieving this required several key components and innovations:
Integral Subframe: A brand-new integral subframe was developed to support this hybrid suspension system.
Solid Block Control Arms: Precision control arms, crafted from solid blocks of material, were employed to ensure robust performance.
Portal Axle Redesign: The parts for the portal axle setup were re-engineered using high-strength aluminium, enhancing both durability and performance.
Reinforced Axle Housing: The axle housing was reinforced to withstand the demands of varying terrains.
Moreover, the vehicle boasts a unique titanium-plated Brabus Ride Control coilover suspension system that offers height adjustability. This system has been finely tuned to accommodate the substantial ground clearance provided by the portal axle. To top it off, drivers can conveniently select their preferred suspension setting using the standard Dynamic Select suspension adjustment controls within the cockpit. This combination of innovations ensures that the G Class delivers both a comfortable ride and exceptional off-road capabilities.
The XLP Superblack is now equipped with Brabus Monoblock HD wheels, specially crafted with an eight-bolt pattern to seamlessly complement the portal axle. These 9.5Jx22 alloy wheels prioritize strength and durability, offering not only a striking design but also robust performance. They have been paired with Pirelli Scorpion ATR all-terrain tires sized at 325/55 R22, ensuring optimal traction and versatility.
Innovatively, the company has utilized sheet steel to create key components for this new model. These include the rear wall of the cab, which features a heated rear window for added comfort, a sturdy cargo bed, and a side-opening tailgate for convenience. To further enhance the design, the bedsides have been expertly crafted from carbon fiber, while the inclusion of the black Flexiteek bed liner represents a technology transfer directly inspired by the construction of high-performance Brabus Marine boats. This combination of materials and design elements showcases the XLP Superblack's commitment to both aesthetics and functionality.
The XLP Superblack boasts a range of distinctive features, starting with the Brabus hood cowl, adorned with two power bulges and wind deflectors sporting four additional LED lights, crafted from advanced high-tech compounds by CSP. Complementing this, the fender flares were borrowed from the Brabus Widestar widebody version designed for the latest G Class models. These flares, finished in sleek black, incorporate exposed-carbon wheel arches, adding a significant 11.6 cm to the vehicle's width.
Under the hood, the XLP Superblack packs a potent punch with its four-liter, twin-turbo eight-cylinder engine, sourced from the current Mercedes AMG G 63. This powerhouse generates an impressive 800hp at 6600 rpm and a whopping 1000Nm of peak torque, available at a low 3600 rpm.
Performance-wise, this pickup can accelerate from 0 to 100km/h in a mere 4.8 seconds, although its top speed is electronically limited to 210km/h due to the all-terrain Pirelli tires ensuring stability and control.
Inside the cabin, you'll find a luxurious blend of the finest black leather infused with sporty carbon elements. The headliner is crafted from sumptuous black Alcantara, and the entire interior, including the floor, is elegantly finished in the same premium black leather. Adding to the opulence, the center section of the seats showcases intricate seashell diamond quilting and perforations. Meanwhile, carbon elements adorn the steering wheel, dashboard, door panels, and center console, completing the interior's sporty and sophisticated ambiance.
Furthermore, numerous interior elements have received a boost through the incorporation of the 'Heritage' brand pattern. This pattern serves as a homage to Brabus' inaugural year and is characterized by embossed '77' signets.
For those interested, the pricing for the XLP Superblack's latest iteration will commence at 725,900 euros, VAT included, in Germany.
