2013 Brabus Widestar 800 Based on Mercedes G65 AMG

Brabus has recently released its take on the 2013 Mercedes-Benz G65 AMG, offering the vehicle its Widestar 800 treatment. It's interesting to see how the tuner released a package for a limited edition model that's also insanely expensive.

The development, which made its debut at the Qatar Motor Show, sees the 6.0-liter twin-turbo V12 powerplant of the G-Class taken from 612 hp and 1,000 Nm (737 lb-ft) to 800 hp and 1,100 Nm (811 lb-ft). The torque is electronically limited to the aforementioned value, as the tweaked engine would be capable of delivering 1,420 Nm (1,047 lb-ft).

The new Widestar 800 deals with the 0 to 62 mph sprint in a stunning 4.2 seconds and offers an electronically-limited top speed of 250 km/h (155 mph). If the vehicle would do away with the limiter, it could hit 270 km/h (168 mph).

The G65 AMG has also received the traditional wide body kit and plethora of LED daytime running lights, while the fenders can now accommodate 23-inch rims. The vehicle’s massive wheels uses a nine double-spoke design and feature 305/35 R23 high-performance rubber.

In addition to that, Brabus has joined forces with Bilstein and can fit the car with the latter’s electrically-adjustable Ride Control suspension. As for the pricing of the 2013 Brabus Widestar 800, this hasn't been announced yet.
