Extremely all-terrain, powerful as an ox and exclusively equipped: With the BRABUS 800 Adventure XLP SUPERWHITE, BRABUS presents an extravagant pickup that feels just as comfortable in the desert as it does over hill and dale or on the grand boulevard. The supercar, brilliant white inside and out, is based on the Mercedes-AMG G 63 and is an eye-catcher par excellence, not only because of its loading area: The 5,31 meter long BRABUS 800 Adventure XLP SUPERWHITE has a specially designed BRABUS special chassis with portal axles, which gives it a ground clearance of 49 centimeters, which enables even the toughest off-road use. Of course, the outstanding performance of the BRABUS 800 V8 biturbo engine with a displacement of four liters, 588 kW / 800 hp and 1 Nm of torque also contributes to this. The BRABUS 000 Adventure XLP SUPERWHITE accelerates to 800 km/h in just 4,8 seconds. The top speed is electronically limited to 100 km/h due to the 22-inch all-terrain tires and the vehicle's high center of gravity.
BRABUS 800 Adventure XLP SUPERWHITE!
Matching the unusual bodywork painted in “Diamond White Pearl”, which was upgraded with visible carbon components, the special model also has a bright white BRABUS fine leather interior, in which not only carbon elements set exciting accents: “ 77” logos commemorate the year the BRABUS brand was born. The BRABUS 800 Adventure XLP SUPERWHITE high-performance pickup is another highlight in the more than four decades of supercar success of the Bottrop-based company. BRABUS is once again demonstrating the enormous know-how of the company, which is accredited as a vehicle manufacturer by the Federal Motor Transport Authority in Germany.
- "Shine white like a diamond" is the motto of the exclusive XLP special edition "SUPERWHITE"
- Second vehicle in the BRABUS Monochrome Design Series, characterized by white BRABUS design elements on the interior and exterior
- V8 biturbo with 588 kW / 800 hp and 1 Nm of torque
- Special chassis in combination with portal axles and 49 cm ground clearance
- BRABUS fine leather interior design with "Heritage 77" special embossing based on the founding year 1977
The basis for this exclusive pickup is the Mercedes-AMG G 63. For the transformation into the BRABUS 800 Adventure XLP, the BRABUS engineers used the latest CAD technology to develop not only a new rear wall with a heated rear window for the passenger compartment, which of course remains spacious. The trunk is replaced by the BRABUS loading area, for which a special, high-strength frame module was developed for the off-road vehicle, which allows the rear wheel suspension to be moved backwards. This increases the wheelbase by exactly 50 centimeters, which also necessitated the construction of a longer cardan shaft. The newly created vehicle length of 5,31 meters offers space for a multi-purpose loading area. In order to achieve the greatest possible stability, the floor was made of sheet steel. The tailgate, which opens to the side, is also made from this material.
The carbon side walls of the loading area are produced by the BRABUS Division CSP using the complex prepreg process. For the planking of the loading area floor, the designers used Flexi Teak, which is also used on the high-performance boats from BRABUS Marine. Matching the color concept, the material on this pickup is white and has gray BRABUS lettering. As a striking contrast to the white special paintwork, the double bar behind the cab of the BRABUS 800 Adventure XLP SUPERWHITE and the robust roof rack, for which a roof tent is also available as an option, have been coated in matt black. The white type designation "800" on the loading flap is also highlighted in black. A completely new suspension concept was developed so that the pickup can also be used for heavy-duty off-road driving. Here the engineers and technicians rely on the portal axle principle, which gives the pickup an impressive 49 centimeters of ground clearance.
New parts were made from high-strength aluminum for the BRABUS independent wheel suspension on the front axle. With the help of the latest CNC technology, a special integral carrier and new wishbones were milled from the solid. Numerous tailor-made components such as all links and the reinforced axle housing also had to be produced for the newly designed rigid rear axle. The portal axles not only increase the ground clearance, but also allow a significantly greater axle articulation, which is extremely advantageous in tough off-road use. The height-adjustable BRABUS Ride Control coilover kit for the BRABUS 800 Adventure XLP SUPERWHITE was developed to match this construction. The driver can choose different settings for the setup of the titanium-coated spring struts via the standard DYNAMIC SELECT suspension adjustment. As a result, damping, drive, steering and assistance systems can be optimally adapted to the different operating conditions.
BRABUS Monoblock HD alloy wheels
Another special development for this exclusive pickup are the BRABUS Monoblock HD light-alloy wheels, which are designed for the highest loads. Insiders can see from the eight-hole attachment that this eight-spoke design was specially designed for these portal axles. The black-painted 9.5Jx22 wheels with Pirelli Scorpion ATR all-terrain tires measuring 325/55 R 22 optimally fill the space under the BRABUS fender flares, which make the G-model exactly 11,7 centimeters wider. Visible carbon wheel arch extensions set attractive accents here, as do other BRABUS components on this supercar, which are made from this high-tech compound. These include the BRABUS bonnet attachment with two power domes and the BRABUS wind deflector with four LED work lights.
The radiator grille frame, the air inlets for the front apron with integrated LED daytime running lights, the side mirror covers and the side body strips are made of high-gloss sealed carbon, as are the underbody protection elements at the front and rear. A visible carbon cover with embedded BRABUS lettering tells the traffic behind who the builder of this supercar is. The aprons at the front and rear were also adapted from the BRABUS WIDESTAR widebody version for the current Mercedes G-Class. Since the BRABUS 800 Adventure XLP SUPERWHITE was designed for heavy-duty off-road use, the pickup has a black-coated front protection bar and a cable winch with a pulling power of 4 kilograms.
Since the driver's cab is a lot higher due to the increased ground clearance, the BRABUS 800 Adventure XLP SUPERWHITE is equipped with running boards coated in white. At the customer's request, there are also steps that extend downwards electrically, which make getting in and out even easier. In order to offer a safe step even in the dark, LED lamps were embedded in the extensions, which light up when a door handle is pulled or, activated by the keyless go signal, when the vehicle is approached. This applies not only to the treads of the sills, but also to the floor on the side of the vehicle.
But the exclusive pickup is not only a visually exciting and also particularly versatile companion. Its engine is pure high performance. The four-liter V8 biturbo engine was upgraded with the BRABUS PowerXtra B40S-800 performance upgrade. The changes to the engine hardware affect the turbo system: Two newly configured BRABUS high-performance turbochargers, which, in addition to a larger compressor unit, also have a modified core group with reinforced axial bearings, produce a maximum boost pressure of 1,6 bar. BRABUS Boost Xtra ensures that the supercharged engine produces a clearly audible "blow off" noise when the load changes.
In order to recalibrate the electronic boost pressure control and further optimize performance without affecting stability, special maps were programmed for the electronic engine management. To this end, extensive tests were carried out on different test benches and during driving. The new control software is fed in via the BRABUS PowerXtra additional control unit, which is adapted to the engine electronics using plug-and-play technology. The superior performance is accompanied by an exciting engine sound: Thanks to the integrated valve control, the BRABUS stainless steel sports exhaust system offers electronically controlled sound management with either a discreet "Coming Home" mode or a decidedly sporty V8 sound. This exhaust system is also visually unusual: on each side of the vehicle there are two tailpipes in sidepipe design in front of the rear wheel. They are surrounded by a visible carbon cover with an integrated Launch Ambience Light, which lights up red when the interior lighting is activated.
588 kW / 800 hp and crazy 1.000 Nm of torque
With 588 kW / 800 hp at 6 rpm and a maximum torque of 600 Nm at just 1.000 rpm, the BRABUS 3 Adventure XLP SUPERWHITE is one of the most powerful representatives of its class. The driving performance is correspondingly outstanding for an off-road pickup: the four-wheel drive catapults itself from a standstill to 600 km/h in just 800 seconds. Shifting is either automatic or manual via the ergonomically shaped BRABUS RACE carbon shift paddles on the steering wheel. The top speed is electronically limited to 4,8 km/h because of the off-road tires.
Of course, the BRABUS fine leather interior also corresponds to the name of this special model: seats, door panels, center console, the new rear wall of the passenger compartment, the lower part of the dashboard and the grip zones of the steering wheel were covered with the finest leather in the color "White Heat". The seat panels and the inner parts of the panels are also quilted in the "Double Cube" design and perforated with millimeter precision. As a tribute to the founding of BRABUS in 1977, there are additional interior parts with an embossed "77" signet. Countless elements such as ventilation nozzles, switches, screens and loudspeaker grilles were also glazed in a precisely coordinated white.
As a contrast, the top of the instrument panel was upholstered in black leather. The Alcantara covering the roof pillars and headliner was also chosen in this dark shade. The panels in the cockpit and parts of the steering wheel rim were made of high-gloss sealed carbon. The BRABUS pedals and door locking pins made of aluminum look just as sporty. The BRABUS 800 Adventure XLP SUPERWHITE is available as a complete vehicle from EUR 750.969,73 (price including statutory VAT in Germany).
