Mercedes is working on a new G-Class Cabrio. However, if you can’t wait, Brabus has your back as they’ve unveiled the new 800 and 800 XL Cabrio. Based on the Mercedes-AMG G63, both are equipped with a “highly complex” retractable soft top that consists of over 500 custom-made components. That’s a dizzying amount, but the two-piece roof opens and closes in 20 seconds at the push of a button. Buyers will also find a heated glass rear window. More: German Tuner Turns Mercedes-AMG G63 Into A Cabriolet The Factory Won’t Build The conversion was easier said than done as the model features a reinforced windshield frame and a carbon fiber bow, which “ensures that the roof contour remains unchanged even at high speeds.” The Cabrio also features a rear roll bar as well as a soft top cover, which helps to protect the roof when it’s lowered for extended periods of time. Built to Bend the Rules Putting the soft top aside, the 800 has been equipped with a custom tailgate and a Widestar body kit. They’re joined by 24-inch Monoblock ZM wheels that are wrapped in Hankook Ventus S1 Evo ZX high-performance tires. The model also has sport springs that lower the ride height by 0. 8 to 1. 6 inches (20-40 mm). Also: Brabus Shadow 1500 Has Three V8s And No Wheels The upgrades extend to the cabin as there’s a custom leather interior with carbon fiber paddle shifters as well as an Airscarf system. There’s also carbon fiber trim and plenty of Brabus badging. What’s Under the Hood? Power is provided by a twin-turbo 4. 0-liter V8 that has been tuned to produce 789 hp (588 kW / 800 PS) and 737 lb-ft (1, 000 Nm) of torque. It’s connected to a nine-speed automatic transmission and a four-wheel drive system, which enables the model to accelerate from 0-62 mph (0-100 km/h) in four seconds flat, before hitting an electronically limited top speed of 149 mph (240 km/h). The Wilder XL Version The 800 XL is similar, but it’s designed to tackle more than clubs in Monte Carlo. As a result, it has been equipped with a purpose-built portal axle suspension system that provides 18. 9 inches (480 mm) of ground clearance. The model also rides on smaller 22-inch wheels that are shod in all-terrain rubber. The changes have an impact on performance as the dash to 62 mph (100 km/h) takes 4. 6 seconds. Likewise, the top speed falls to 130 mph (210 km/h). Production will be limited to 50 units each and pricing for the 800 starts around $877,350 (€761, 500). The 800 XL shown here costs $1 million (€887, 600), but your price will depend on options and equipment.
