Brabus Turns Mercedes-Benz G63 Into A 789HP Pickup (Photos)

With the news that the X-Class pickup will be discontinued, Brabus has turned the G63 into a pickup truck. The V8 engine in the pickup truck will produce a whopping 789hp. It’s been fitted with lots of tweaks to make a serious performance truck Benz fans have been waiting for.

The German-based company Brabus, painstaking remodeled the G63 to enable it to have the pickup bed. Brabus called this latest iteration the 800 Adventure XLP and it is their costliest 2020 model yet. To slap a steel and carbon pickup bed on the back of a standard G-Wagen, Brabus had to stretch the wheelbase by 20 inches, ultimately making the truck 27.1 inches longer than it originally was. In addition to the lengthened wheelbase, the 800 Adventure XLP rides a lot higher than a standard G-Class. It’s equipped with Brabus’ newly designed suspension with portal axles. The coil-over suspension kit allows for 19.2-inch ground clearance and can be controlled via the stock Mercedes dynamic select system including ride height
