Brabus Repurposes Legendary Mercedes G-Wagen As 800 HP Off-Roader

BRABUS has several 800 hp G 63-based builds, from the 2019 Black Ops and Shadow SUVs to current W465 Deep Blue and XLP pickup variants. Their performance, hardware, tire fitment, and pricing differ, so specifications should be tied to the exact model.

BRABUS offers several 800 hp conversions based on the Mercedes-AMG G 63, not one uniquely identifiable “800 hp off-roader.” The versions differ in generation, body style, equipment, and performance: the 2019 Black Ops and Shadow were limited-edition SUVs, while current W465 offerings include the Deep Blue SUV and the XLP 800 Adventure pickup. BRABUS publishes the figures below; they are manufacturer claims, not independent test results.

Which BRABUS 800 G-Class is it?

The title alone does not identify a specific model. Before applying a specification to a pictured vehicle, match it to its edition: Black Ops and Shadow date to 2019, Deep Blue is a current W465 SUV, and XLP 800 Adventure is a pickup conversion. Their shared 800 hp rating does not make their equipment or performance interchangeable.

Variant Base and body style BRABUS-stated performance Distinctive details
Black Ops 800 and Shadow 800 2019-era Mercedes G 63 AMG SUV 800 hp, 1,000 Nm; 0–100 km/h in 4.1 seconds; 240 km/h electronically limited Each announced as limited to ten vehicles; WIDESTAR bodywork and 23-inch forged wheels
800 Deep Blue Current W465 Mercedes-AMG G 63 SUV 800 hp, 1,000 Nm; 0–100 km/h in 4.0 seconds; 240 km/h electronically limited 24-inch wheels and a blue-themed Masterpiece interior
XLP 800 Adventure Current W465 G 63-based pickup 800 hp, 1,000 Nm; 0–100 km/h in 4.8 seconds; 210 km/h top speed Portal axles, cargo bed and a wheelbase extended by 50 cm

These specifications come from BRABUS materials: its 2019 release for Black Ops and Shadow, and its current product pages for Deep Blue and XLP 800 Adventure. BRABUS says the XLP’s performance figures are approximate and depend on individual vehicle details.

What the 800 hp claim means

For the 2019 Black Ops and Shadow, BRABUS specifies a 4.0-liter twin-turbo V8 rated at 588 kW / 800 hp (789 bhp) and 1,000 Nm (737 lb-ft). The company gives both editions a 0–100 km/h time of 4.1 seconds and an electronically limited top speed of 240 km/h. Those figures describe the named 2019 editions; do not assume they apply to every BRABUS 800 G-Class.

  • IMAGINATION: Let your child develop their imagination with this super vehicle. It will create an imaginary world surrounded by sunny roads, singing birds and places to visit. Accompany him in his creativity. The more you are crazy the more we laugh
  • GIFT: Do you want to please your child, a couple of friends or others for Christmas or birthday? Well, don't wait any longer! This vehicle is perfect for you!
  • AGE: This vehicle is suitable for children 3 years old or older! And you know why? At that age, we begin to realize beautiful things. Your child will be proud to show their toy to their friends
  • WONDERFUL: Has your child stood speechless in front of a great car that passed on the street or on TV? Offer it in miniature version

BRABUS lists the same 800 hp and 1,000 Nm output for the current Deep Blue and XLP 800 Adventure, but their acceleration and top-speed figures differ. No independent instrumented test result is established by the research for these figures, so treat them as manufacturer claims rather than verified real-world results.

Off-road hardware varies by model

The current XLP 800 Adventure is the version in this group specifically described as a pickup conversion with portal axles. BRABUS says it has a tailor-made bed and that moving the rear axle extends the wheelbase by 50 cm. Its product page also lists a front cable winch with a 4,500 kg pulling force; a roof tent is optional.

The 2019 Black Ops and Shadow are SUV-style G 63 conversions with WIDESTAR widebody parts and 23-inch forged wheels. The Deep Blue is a current W465 SUV with 24-inch wheels. The dossier does not establish that every version has the same axles, suspension, tires, underbody protection, or recovery equipment, so those features should be checked against the exact vehicle rather than assumed from the BRABUS 800 name.

Wheels and tires are edition-specific

Wheel and tire details are not universal across BRABUS 800 builds. BRABUS specifies 305/35 R 23 Yokohama Advan Sport tires for the 800 Black & Gold Edition, while its Deep Blue listing gives 295/30 ZR 24 front and 355/25 ZR 24 rear tires. The Black & Gold fitment should not be treated as compatible with another G-Class or BRABUS edition without verification.

Before buying replacement tires or wheels, confirm the exact model, wheel specification, and vehicle fitment. BRABUS’s published sizes identify particular builds; they do not establish general compatibility or current stock.

What did the 2019 Black Ops cost?

BRABUS’s 2019 release listed a starting price of €275,055 for the Black Ops, excluding VAT for export, or €327,316 in Germany including 19% VAT. Those are historical launch prices, not current order prices, resale values, or a guide to the cost of current W465 builds. The release said Black Ops and Shadow were each limited to ten vehicles.

Which BRABUS 800 version has portal axles?

BRABUS describes portal axles on the XLP 800 Adventure, a W465-based pickup conversion. Do not assume that feature is fitted to the SUV-style BRABUS 800 models.

What tires fit a BRABUS 800?

Fitment depends on the specific model and wheels. BRABUS lists 305/35 R 23 Yokohama Advan Sport tires for the Black & Gold Edition and a different 24-inch staggered setup for Deep Blue. Verify fitment for the individual vehicle before purchasing.

What is the current price of a BRABUS 800?

The research establishes a historical 2019 Black Ops starting price, but not current prices for the listed W465 builds. Contact BRABUS or an authorized seller for a current quote for the exact vehicle and specification.
