High-powered convertibles with eight or more cylinders are pretty much the minimum when it comes to types of transportation that the jet setters of Europe should command on a sunny afternoon in places like St. Tropez, right?
In other words, the convertible variant of an automotive icon with a humongous naturally-aspirated V8 should be a perfect motorized chariot for parking in front of the Monte Carlo Casino, especially after giving an invisible finger to all the uneducated plebe you have met on the way there – kind of like Rowan Atkinson's character in Bean.
Unfortunately, the Mercedes-Benz G 500 Cabrio modified by Brabus in the adjacent images is not quite worthy of the descriptions above. Sure, it has eight cylinders, it is a convertible and it has a long legacy, but the evil look brought by the Bauhaus design, black color and Brabus Widestar bodykit makes it more appropriate as a bodyguard carrier for a Russian oligarch.
Not to say that it is a bad thing, but the overall look of the model is at the complete opposite spectrum of the white knight in sleeper armor we showed you yesterday, which was also a product of the tuning specialists from Bottrop.
The dark Mercedes-Benz G 500 below sports a naturally aspirated 6.1-liter V8 engine from the old league, which delivers 462 hp and 615 Nm (453 lb ft) of torque with a soundtrack that makes hairs stand up.
On top of that, the exterior has been adorned with the Brabus Widestar bodykit, which makes the car looks like it is about to kick your behind if you don't get out of the way after it flashes its lights in your mirror.
