Insain Driver

At the Frankfurt auto show, you can be count on seeing plenty of modified Mercedes-Benz G-wagens, from small operators such as Khan in the UK to just about any German workshop with an engine mapping kit. That encroachment doesn t sit well with Brabus, the longtime Mercedes-Benz tuner, which is why it will debut its 850 6.0 Biturbo Widestar version of the mighty G in Frankfurt.

While it may seem ill-advised to anybody who has ever pushed a G-wagen s dynamic envelope, the 850 6.0 Biturbo Widestar will imbue the block-shaped SUV with an eponymous 850 horsepower and a mountainous, 1069-lb-ft torque. That s enough to send it to 62 mph in 4.0 seconds which is about as quick as the new Mercedes-AMG C63 sedan. Top speed is a claimed 162 mph.

That motive force comes via a twin-turbo V-8 of 5.9 liters 5912-cc, although it s advertised as a 6.0-liter, which is enlarged from the 5461-cc standard AMG V-8. It s fortified with forged pistons, a billet crankshaft, and a longer stroke. It also has new, larger turbochargers and a new exhaust system for freer breathing, plus a heat-reflecting gold foil on the intake air pipes from the intercooler to the engine. There s also a carbon-fiber hood scoop with a checkered-flag design, make room for the air filter and the new intake manifold. The seven-speed automatic remains, and feeds a strengthened all-wheel drive system.

Brabus tries to get around the ancient G-wagen chassis dynamic deficiencies by widening the body and fitting 23-inch wheels and tires. Pushed out by 4.7 inches, the wheels are wrapped in 305/35 rubber. The 5600-pound monster also uses Brabus s own Dynamic Ride Control suspension system, developed around two-stage adjustable Bilstein dampers.

And just because the Brabus-ized G-wagen can get there quicker, doesn t mean you want to be uncomfortable on the trip. To that end, the Biturbo Widestar also comes with the typically fancified interior, including power rear seats from the Mercedes-Benz S-class, with rear-seat occupants also getting power-retractable tables. There s also a WLAN router and a 4G modem to connect the car to the internet. You see, this muscled-up G-wagen only looks like a throwback.
