Usually, Brabus stands at various motor shows don't exactly need a special magnet to draw in attention to their latest tuning products. Despite this, at the 2013 Frankfurt Motor Show they had the automotive equivalent of a neodymium attention magnet in the shape of one of their most insane creations.
Called the B63S-700 6x6, the base vehicle is essentially an insane car to begin with, but the loonies from Bottrop pretty much made it straight-jacket crazy.
Starting from the most expensive and the "most out-there" model in the current Mercedes-Benz range, the G 63 AMG 6x6, the Brabus tuning specialists transformed the car into something truly evil.
Beside the 700 horsepower and 960 Nm (708 lb ft) of torque that the engine is now producing, both the exterior and the interior of the six-wheeled monster have been extensively modified in the usual Brabus fashion.
Since apparently only 30 units of the original "standard" car will ever be built by Mercedes-Benz and it already costs EUR 451,010 in Germany with VAT included, we would have guessed that Brabus might charge a bucket load more of cash for their B63S-700 6x6 version.
We were wrong, though, as the price of the exact same car that was shown in Frankfurt is “just” EUR 573.854,89 including VAT in Germany, while the export price is a “measly” EUR 482.231,00. Until you start counting your money, you might as well squint your eyes on how the monster looks in the adjacent photo gallery and think for a bit at how many camera flashes your eyes will have to suffer while driving in one.
