Brabus used to be known for tuning AMGs until they were faster than jets. But now, all their money comes from the Mercedes-AMG G63. And it was only a matter of time before armored luxury SUVs became part of their repertoire.

Brabus is a very sensible tuning company cough and the Bottrop-based folk are keen for you to know that this new Merc-AMG E63 S-based
Brabus 800 comes with a three-year/100,000km warranty. How very reasonable.
You couldnât give a flying French Connection about that, though, could you? Well, not to worry, because this latest 800 also happens to produce
788hp and
4.0-liter twin-turbo V8. Much more like it.

Brabus developed a pair of all-new high-performance turbochargers for the 800 before fitting its plug-and-play âPowerXtraâ ECU module and a sports exhaust. The result is a 0-100kph time of just 3secâdown from the standard 604hp sedanâs time of 3.4sec.
