Forget about discreet luxury. The Brabus XL 800 is a screaming, brutal and completely crazy vehicle for those who park next to a yacht on the Riviera. And they guide more carbon than Formula 1.
If Bruce Wayne had a residence for the holidays in Monte Carlo and wanted to go to Safari in Kenya, he would buy a Brabus XL 800. Not because they need 800 horses (588 kW) and 1000 Nm of torque, but because it has it. you can. And because he wants to turn on the LED enlightened roof via an app on his phone, while wearing a tuxedo.
Based on the Mercedes-AMG G 63, but reworked with the maniacal perfectionism of Brabus, the XL 800 is a sporting SUV that exceeds everything else in every aspect: from the Rolls-Royce Cullinan to the Range Rover Sv.
Under the carbon hood of the Brabus XL 800: 800 horsepower at the service of extravagance
Under the hood there is the famous 4.0 -liter Biturbo V8, which in this version develops 800 horsepower (588 kW) and literally pushes the beast to 100 km/h in 4.6 seconds. The maximum speed is electronically limited to 210 km/h (130 mph), but let’s face it: if you find yourself in Munich with this vehicle, you worry more about how you introduce yourself to 5 km/h on the casino square.
Portal axes and 47 cm in height from the ground: why not?
Yes, the Brabus XL 800 has a higher height from most of the campers. With its impressive 47 centimeters (18.5 inches), not even a high -waisted night shirt will be able to stop it. The portal axles (front!) Guarantee that the car overcomes the sidewalks with the same elegance as an aristocrat on the red carpet.
The suspensions are adjustable through electronic control shock absorbers and the unloading audio system can be set in mode “compared to the neighborhood” when you return to your villa in Roquebrune-Cap-Martin at night.
Carbon style and details for Instagram
The exterior is covered with a Widebody Brabus Widestar in -range carbon kit. Argans integrated into the front, diffuser in the rear, side LED lighting: every detail screams tailor -made. The 22 -inch brabus monoblock z/hd rims add the final finish “Don’t touch me”.

Interior for millionaires who find Rolls too ordinary
Inside we find the Double Cube quilted skin (Hand Sewing, of course), the coating of the pavilion in dynamic alcantara and carbon fiber inserts on each surface not covered in leather. The rear passengers have their own digital display on the ceiling, where they can control the time, speed and probably also the price of wine at the Hermitage Hotel.
Price? Only for the elected
Brabus XL 800 with a starting price of 630,767 euros (excluding VAT), the Brabus XL 800 is not a car, but a club in which only those who find the Ferrari 812 Superfast a little too average in the average enter. This price does not only include the vehicle, but also the customization, the prestige and, honestly, the most photogenic car of the French Riviera.
Conclusion: because the Brabus XL 800 is not for everyone (and this is a good thing)
The Brabus XL 800 is not suitable for those looking for discretion. It is not suitable for those who are worried about fuel consumption. But it is for those who know that life is too short to get bored and that sometimes you have to get to Saint-Tropez with more carbon than most sailing boats.
Although competitors such as the Rolls-Royce Cullinan Black Badge or the Bentley Bentayga Speed offer luxury and power, none of them combine them anything With the same brutality, rawness and – honestly – glamor of the Brabus XL 800. And if someone asks you why you spent as much for an SUV as for an apartment of four rooms in Ljubljana … invite him to take a tour. Well, let’s let him understand it alone.
