Brabus G63 AMG 6x6 Rolls Over in Memorable Russian Crash

At the beginning of each year, we try to make predictions on what media pathway will bring the most attention-worthy content throughout the following twelve months, and it seems the Russian dash cam culture is off to a serious start. That's the only conclusion we can draw after watching the clip below, which shows the aftermath of a Brabus G63 AMG 6x6 crash in Moscow.

While the details of the accident are scarce, you don't need an owner's manual to understand that a vehicle with such a high center of gravity can be rolled over without all that much effort.

The footage below only gives us a brief look at the stranded animal, but it doesn't seem like the behemoth suffered extensive damage. Then again, when we're talking about a Brabus G700 6x6 (this is the official designation of the vehicle), the financial consequences of such a situation simply can't be light.

For one thing, the Brabus take on the six-wheeled Gelandewagen costs €578,614 ($783,000). The sheer idea of seeing those portal axles in what you might call a vertical position is disturbing.

Despite many owners buying these cars for the wrong reasons, we're talking about a rare gem here

We're sure the vehicle will be back on the road soon. Given the exclusivity of the machine, there's no other way - while we're not sure how many examples Brabus has massaged, we can tell you Mercedes-AMG only produced 100-plus units of their 6x6.

We're normally tempted to point our finger at any owner who drives such a contraption on tarmac, but given the condition of many roads over in Russia, as well as the wild behavior shown by certain drivers, we can't blame somebody for willing to use military-grade transportation.

Let's just hope this Brabus will live a more peaceful life once it receives the required repair attention.
