Brabus' 700 HP G63 AMG Combines Blue Paint and Red Leather

Babus is cranking out tuned versions of the G63 like there is no tomorrow. Even though we are dealing with an ex-military vehicle with body-on-frame construction that's four decades old, you could say the G-Wagon is the darling of the tuning industry, especially in Germany.

The in-house specialist company we call Brabus is known for three things: the best leather in the business, gold engines, and massive power. All these things have come together in a package that's very easy on the eye.

In most ways, this Widestar G700 is just like the one we showed you a couple of days ago. But instead of a bright yellow paintjob, the owner wanted metallic blue that almost seems like chrome. Plenty of Brabus tuning pieces have been added, including a new grille, bumpers, skirts, wheels and lights. Many components are also made from carbon, including the bonkers hood scoop that draws more air to feed the 5.5-liter twin-turbo V8 engine.

It's hard to believe that the G-Class started out as a military vehicle, a rough and ready workhorse designed to get dirty all the time. This automotive rags-to-riches story sees us lifting the hood to discover beautifully crafted gold components for the engine and a carbon cover with the Brabus logo.

As the name suggests, we are dealing with a tuned version of the AMG engine that now produces 700 horsepower. That's probably why she needs wider 23-inch wheels and sticky Yokohama rubber.

Lastly, we want to draw your attention to the immaculate red leather interior. Brabus installed the illuminated door sills no self-respecting army vehicle went without. Everything has been upgraded, from big parts like the roof to small ones like the door locks. Even the trunk is full of red cowhide, something the family dogs are surely going to appreciate. And for the keen driver, we have aluminum pedals, sporty new paddles behind the steering wheel and carbon fiber on the central tunnel.
