Brabus-Allee, Bottrop. Frankfurt, 2019.
One of Ten.
BRABUS G V12 900. A twelve-cylinder G-Class, built ten times.
Fifteen years after the first BRABUS G V12 was shown in Geneva, the engineers in Bottrop put a twelve-cylinder back into the G-Class, this time the new W 463A. The engine comes from the Mercedes S 600 L. What leaves the works is a different machine.
