This car defies gravity thanks to an engine with this incredible tire configuration

Date:

Let’s take a few seconds to count all the wheels… 6, all-wheel drive, but is it really just a simple 4×4 with an extra axle?

The original work is by Brabus, it’s the XLP 900 6×6, a showcase of refinement, power, and a bit of pollution, although on this front, the manufacturer is one of the few to consider the ecological aspect. Still, the Beast emits 420g of CO2 per kilometer, curious!

A colossus with an exceptional pedigree

The BRABUS XLP 900 6×6 is based on an already highly intense model: the Mercedes-AMG G 63, a legend in the luxury SUV world. However, the work done by Brabus goes far beyond simple customization. As usual, the German tuner has designed this model, refining both the mechanical and aesthetic aspects. First, the G 63’s chassis was extended to accommodate an additional axle, transforming the 4×4 into a 6×6 (six-wheel drive). Then, each component was rethought to meet the demands of this new size, including a raised suspension and transmission systems tailored to the 6×6 configuration. Beyond its oversized dimensions, the XLP 900 6×6 embodies Brabus’ philosophy: pushing the limits of both aesthetics and technology. The vehicle becomes as much a showcase of craftsmanship as a coveted object reserved for the wealthiest. With its limited production, it continues Brabus’ tradition of rarity.

The superblack as a mechanical work of art

It’s hard to ignore the imposing presence of the XLP 900 6×6 Superblack when you cross paths with it. You can’t miss its matte black body with carbon fiber inserts. The widened bumpers and reinforced side protections add to its aggressive dimension, while the 6 22-inch wheels equipped with all-terrain tires emphasize the effect. Brabus designers have ensured that every line and curve expresses both power and elegance. The interior of the XLP 900 6×6 is a sanctuary of luxury. Black leather seats, emblazoned with the brand’s B logo, brushed aluminum inserts, and carbon fiber finishes all reflect the vehicle’s dual nature: sportiness and elegance. This level of customization showcases the brand’s expertise: each client can work with Brabus to tailor the interior and features to their needs. From ambient lighting to the configuration of controls, everything can be adjusted, making each XLP 900 6×6 a truly unique model.

Performance that defies gravity

With its 4.5-liter twin-turbo V8 engine, the BRABUS XLP 900 6×6 Superblack delivers an astounding 900 horsepower and 1,250 Nm of torque. These impressive numbers are to be considered in light of its weight of 3.5 tons. Despite this bulk, every acceleration reminds you that this colossus knows no limits. It rockets from 0 to 100 km/h in just 5.2 seconds—an unbelievable feat for such a configuration. To achieve this, the turbos have been optimized, the transmission reinforced, and the exhaust system reimagined to manage the significant thermal flows generated by this monster. The result? A deep, powerful sound that announces the arrival of the XLP 900 long before it’s even visible. To withstand the acceleration and rough terrain, Brabus has installed a raised suspension with adaptive dampers to provide optimal comfort. The high-performance braking system, featuring oversized discs, ensures control in all situations.

A 6×6 bonfiguration built to conquer all terrains

Why opt for a six-wheel drive configuration? Beyond the dramatic effect, the 6×6 offers off-road capabilities that few vehicles can match—at least that’s the promise. With its six-wheel drive, the XLP 900 6×6 ensures optimal traction distribution. Whether climbing, navigating rocky paths, or crossing deserts, this behemoth is ready to take on any challenge, according to the tuner. With its increased ground clearance and reworked approach and departure angles, it remains highly capable (as if we had any doubts) and manages to avoid obstacles that could prove costly. The specially chosen tires offer exceptional grip in varied conditions, from muddy trails to desert dunes. Reinforced axles and adaptive differential systems guarantee impressive maneuverability despite the vehicle’s size and weight. But let’s be honest, it’s not for its off-road capabilities that you choose this beast! You choose it because it’s a symbol of exclusivity. Owning a 6×6 means showcasing the ability to exceed automotive market standards and access a world reserved for a select few (over one million euros plus a €60,000 environmental penalty in France in 2024).

No one is buying this Mercedes: only 1,608 sold and a massive urgent problem to fix
