Footnotes

Founded in Germany in 1977, Brabus has grown to become the largest tuning firm specialising in Mercedes-Benz products, other than the Mercedes' own AMG subsidiary. This breathtaking example of Brabus's handiwork is based on the mighty Mercedes-Benz G500 4x4², one of the latest and most exclusive members of the long-running G-Class family.

Introduced as long ago as 1979, the Mercedes-Benz G-Class 'Geländewagen' (cross-country vehicle) was the result of a joint venture with Steyr-Daimler-Puch of Austria, a firm with considerable experience in developing four-wheel-drive systems for off-road vehicles. Its purposeful appearance – fundamentally unchanged throughout its life – and engineering excellence has secured the 'G-Wagen' cult status and earned it a reputation as one of the most coveted of classic 4x4s.

For 1991 a revised (Type 463) chassis was introduced, incorporating the very latest in off-road traction technology in the form of three electronically engaged differentials in addition to anti-lock brakes. There have been countless updates to the Type 463 since then and a host of special and limited edition variants released; first introduced as the Extreme-G concept car, the G500 4×4² as seen here is one such.

The positive response to the show car prompted Mercedes-Benz to press ahead with a production version, which was launched at the Geneva Motor Show. In production since 2015, the G500 4×4² combines the body of the long-wheelbase Mercedes G-Class with the hub-geared portal axles of the much larger Mercedes-Benz G63 AMG 6x6. In addition to greatly increased ground clearance, the G500 4×4² also has a much wider track than the regular G-Class models. Powered by a 4.0-litre twin-turbo V8 petrol engine producing 416bhp, the G500 4×4² stands out by combining Humvee-rivalling off-road potential with sports car performance and limousine-like levels of luxury; even more so in the case of the much-enhanced Brabus version.
