    @Stuntdriver: And enough torque to flatten out the Rocky Mountains.


    Or, alternatively, to change the Steppes of Russia into the Gentle, Wheelchair-Friendly Ramp of Russia.

    So, this is cool, but a hopped up Hummer would be a suck-ass nature-killing machine for shitheads with small dicks and a taste for babies. Right?

    I can think of more interesting things to do with the money. No matter what this thing costs. Even if it costs just 2 bits.

    This totally re-writes the book on off-roading...

    ...mainly by just editing out any references to off-roading.

    From the ePRS (patent pending):


    Brabus has risen the G-Wagon to new heights of off-road awesome by putting a Brabus SV12 S engine based on the V12 Biturbo found in the S600, but bored and stroked to 6.3L.


    Larger turbos and intercoolers, along with side-dump exhaust were all added to get as many horses out of this engine while still meeting Europes killjoy emission standards.


    All this means 700 hp at 5100 RPM with peak torque of 973 lb-ft at 2100 RPM. 0-100 km/h is 4.3 seconds. Top speed is limited to 150 mph, but if you bribe us we can remove the limit and you can cruise at 163 mph. This ain't your mom's Explorer.


    You can roll on dubs for the baller look you have been after.


    Other enhancements include upgraded brakes so you don't kill yourself driving off the lot. We also put some new body pieces on for extra snazziness, but not too much like those Renntech guys.


    Inside you get a new speedo calibrated up to 175 mph, a new steering wheel, and real leather seats.


    Brabus G-Wagen...Please drive (ir)responsibly.

    Awesome! Now I can get to the mall even faster, so I can circle it and look cool for longer! And my maid, Juanita, will finally have enough torque to get all the groceries home from the store when I send her!
