Brabus 800 Mercedes-AMG G63 Review

The Mercedes-AMG G63 is among the most desirable cars, but Brabus felt the need to make it even more appealing, and they achieved this with the Brabus 800. Brabus’s ‘1-Second-Wow’ mantra promises to captivate the viewer instantly, and the Brabus 800 Mercedes-AMG G 63 lives up to this with striking details across its exterior and interior. Plus, every element of the Brabus 800 Mercedes-AMG G63’s powertrain showcases the best of Mercedes and Brabus, creating a driving experience that heavily contrasts the G 63. How much power does the Brabus have, and what upgrades does it feature?

Pushed To The Limits, Almost

Brabus has always pushed their cars beyond what they come with from their manufacturers without heavily altering the cars’ core DNAs. The Brabus 800 Mercedes-AMG G63 retains the 4.0-liter V8 from the standard AMG G 63, but it’s tuned to make 800 horsepower, 223 more hp than the G-Wagon, and 737 lb-ft of torque. This is thanks to Brabus replacing the stock turbochargers with their bespoke turbochargers, complemented by a revised ECU, among other upgrades. As a result, the Brabus 800 rockets from 0 to 60 mph in 4.1 seconds, 0.4 seconds faster than the AMG G63. However, its top speed is still limited to 149 mph.

Brabus, Exclusive Upgrades

The Mercedes-AMG G63’s cabin is luxurious in its own right, but it’s incomparable to a Brabus 800 Mercedes-AMG G63’s cabin. Step inside, and you’ll feel the difference, being surrounded by more premium materials, mostly comprising softer leather, more carbon fiber, and Alcantara accents, each element handcrafted to perfection. That’s why each Brabus is bespoke. The seats, besides being plush, have heating, ventilation, and massage functions, which aren't all standard in the G63. But given how much one will set you back, such features and more are expected.

One-Second Wow Effect

One of the most desirable attributes of the AMG G63 is its boxy appeal, but with Brabus styling, it looks even better. The Brabus 800 Mercedes-AMG G63 makes a good impression of this with bolder and more aggressive styling that screams Brabus without departing much from the Mercedes design. Exposed carbon fiber elements are visible from almost every angle, and you can’t miss the red accents, which are a hallmark of Brabus and are present on nearly every car they make. Finishing off the Brabus look is a set of Brabus wheels that definitely suit the car better.

Forget The Basics

The tech built for the Brabus 800 is skewed towards elevating the performance, infotainment, connectivity, safety, and luxury of the car, as compared to the AMG G 63. Starting with the infotainment, it keeps the MBUX system used in the G 63 but offers tuning for enhanced performance feedback and utility. Its instrument cluster is also custom and it projects more information on top of the regular speed and power gauges. The sound system is also highly customizable according to your preferences, something that’s unavailable in the base car.

You’re Paying For Value

The Brabus 800 Mercedes-AMG G 63 costs $219,990, which is definitely more expensive than the $183,000 MSRP of a 2024 AMG G 63. Luckily, the car is not entirely exclusive, meaning there are several units on the market, and none of them will skyrocket in value like some Brabus limited editions.
