The new-generation G-Class AMG
received lots of attention at the 2013 Geneva Auto Show. The second
tuner to update the new G65 AMG is Brabus which developed a kit called
the G800 - a clear reference to the engine’s output of course.
The
G800 kit includes a high-tech Bi-turbo system, a new exhaust system
with integrated turbine housings and high-performance turbochargers to
help optimize throttle response. Brabus also installed four water-to-air
intercoolers and two air filter boxes in the front fenders. With some
extra help from reprogramming of the ECU, the engine now delivers a
total of 800 horsepower and 1,047 pound-feet of torque. The sprint from 0
to 60 mph is made in just 4.2 seconds, while top speed is limited
electronically to 155 mph, but it can be increased to 168 mph by
removing the speed limiter.
The G800 kit continues
with an aerodynamic package that includes powerfully sculpted fender
flares, a new front spoiler with integrated LED daytime running lights
on both sides and a new front grille with Brabus logo. The G65 AMG is
now 4.7 inches wider, thanks to the addition of new fender flares. The
model will sit on a set of 23-inch forged wheels combined with
high-performance tires in size 305/35R23. There is also a new Ride
Control suspension that offers two different setups: comfort and sport.
For the interior, the tuner offers a combination of BRABUS Mastik leather and fine Alcantara, plus carbon-fiber and wood inlays.
The BRABUS 800 engine conversion unleashes the power
reserves inherent in the 6.0-liter V12 Biturbo engine. To this end the
BRABUS engine specialists developed a high-tech Biturbo system. The
exhaust manifolds custom-designed for the G 65 AMG with integrated
turbine housings and high-performance turbochargers optimize throttle
response and produce a higher boost pressure than the production turbos.
Four water-to-air intercoolers arranged under the BRABUS carbon-fiber
hood scoop ensure lower charge-air temperatures. This benefits power
yield and durability even under extreme conditions such as in the
desert. The optimized engine air supply is provided by two air filter
boxes in the front fenders.
On the exhaust side there
is a BRABUS stainless-steel high-performance exhaust system with
free-flow metal catalysts and a sound management system courtesy of a
butterfly valve in the exhaust. The high-tech exhaust is controlled with
a button on the steering wheel. The V12 can purr discreetly in “coming
home” mode or shout out its exhilarating power in the sport position.
The sport exhaust adds some visual excitement with its two dual
tailpipes – with regular or black chrome finish – exiting on both sides
in front of the rear wheels.
88 kW / 800 hp and 1,420 Nm instead of the standard-spec 450 kW / 612
hp: With the BRABUS 800 engine conversion, BRABUS (Brabus-Allee, D-46240
Bottrop, phone + 49 / (0) 2041 / 777-0, fax + 49 / (0) 2041 / 777 111,
internet www.brabus.com) offers owners of the new Mercedes G 65 AMG a
fascinating performance upgrade. A sprint time of just 4.2 seconds to
100 km/h (62 mph), an electronically limited top speed of 250 km/h (155
mph) and the optional BRABUS WIDESTAR wide-body version complete with
23-inch BRABUS forged wheels available in various versions set the tuned
off-roader far apart from the rest. The electrically adjustable BRABUS
Ride Control suspension offers a perfect symbiosis of excellent ride
comfort and safe, agile handling.
