Re: G800

Got to say I really don't like it, no more than a garage queen and a posuer's mobile and completely useless off road. The Pur's on the other site are the one's I'd salivate over. In fact I'd prefer a banged up old ex-army landy, loads more fun!

Hi Rakesh, its called the G800 because it has 800hp !

Based on the 6.0l V12 bi-turbo brabus have managed to get an extra 200hp and over 1000 ft/lbs of torque with some new turbos and ecu.

If you feel the need you can get to 60mph in 4.8seconds and do an (urestricted) 168mph. Fuel economy doen't seem to be mentioned.smiley 

 

You can order it from Brabus without the 23" wheels and Widestar bodykit which would make it look more like a 'proper' G Wagon.

Re: G800

It is and did a beautiful G (love it) and on the market for quite sometimes... According to the add only 3 were built so it's a rare G and hope that the price doesn't depreciate for sometimes to come!
