The BRABUS Ride Control aluminum coilover suspension was developed in cooperation with technology partner KW
The BRABUS 900 DEEP BLUE is built in Bottrop based on the latest Mercedes-AMG G 63. Fitting the name of this special model, the bodywork was given a custom paint finish in DEEP BLUE, a color that was specifically developed for BRABUS and is inspired by the deep sea. The high-end respray also includes all chrome and plastic components on the body.
The looks of the supercar are characterized by the BRABUS WIDESTAR widebody version. It makes the latest G-Class model look even more massive while making the exclusive off-roader ten centimeters (4 in) wider than the base vehicle. In addition to the fender flares, this bodywork refit also comprises special fascias for the front and rear, which give this supercar a decidedly sporty appearance. Numerous exposed-carbon elements such as the hood cowl with power bulge and the radiator grille surround, the side air vents at the back of the flares and the exterior mirror housings round off the athletic outfit. Likewise made from carbon with sealed, glossy surface finish are the center sections of the front and rear fascia, which are reminiscent of an underride guard, and the rear wing. The BRABUS designersí love of detail is even evident in the BRABUS 900 logos at the rear, which were adorned with carbon inlays.
The BRABUS WIDESTAR fender flares on the DEEP BLUE supercar create space for hi-tech wheels with a king-sized diameter of 24 inches. The forged BRABUS Monoblock Z PLATINUM EDITION ten-spoke rims were painted high-gloss black for this vehicle. Wheels of size 10Jx24 with 295/30 ZR 24 high-performance tires at the front make perfect use of the available space under the widened wheel arches. The rear axle is fitted with size 12Jx24 rims and 355/25 ZR 24 tires.

It allows lowering the ride height of the supercar by up to 45 millimeters (1.8 in) as desired. The damping can be set to markedly comfortable or sporty with the Dynamic Select switch in the cockpit.
High-performance engines that combine power, torque and durability at the highest level of perfection have been the trademark of all BRABUS supercars for more than four and a half decades. This is also true of the BRABUS 900 DEEP BLUE, whose number in the model designation comes from the BRABUS 900 ROCKET V8 twin-turbo increased-displacement engine. It produces an enormous 231 kW / 315 hp (310 bhp) more than the stock engine of the G 63.
The engine modifications also include larger downpipes with a diameter of 76 millimeters (3 in) and metal catalysts
The recipe for this is as simple as it is tried and proven: more displacement produces more power. To this end, the companyís hi-tech engine shop increases the cylinder volume of the eight-cylinder, four-valve engine from standard 3,982 cc to 4,407 cc (243 to 269 cu in). This is achieved by enlarging the cylinder bore to 84 millimeters (3.3 in), complemented by accordingly sized forged pistons. In addition, a precision-balanced, billet custom crankshaft in concert with likewise forged high-performance connecting rods lengthens the stroke to exactly 100 millimeters (3.9 in).
To realize the intended power increase, the turbocharging system was also extensively revised. Two special BRABUS turbochargers with larger compressor unit and special core assembly with reinforced axial bearing produce a peak boost pressure of 1.4 bar. Two custom BRABUS BoostXtra valves ensure a thrilling blow-off noise when the driver lifts off the gas.
The engine modifications also include larger downpipes with a diameter of 76 millimeters (3 in) and metal catalysts. As has been a hallmark feature of every BRABUS sports exhaust for the G-Class for decades, the BRABUS stainless high-performance exhaust system has two tailpipes exiting on each side of the vehicle in front of the rear wheels. To match the sporty look of this supercar, they are framed by a sporty exposed-carbon embellisher with integrated, red ROCKET Launch Ambience Light. The exclusive appearance is accompanied by a thrilling eight-cylinder sound thanks to active sound management. At the touch of a button on the center console, drivers can switch between a throaty V8 exhaust note in ëSportí mode and a subtle whisper in ëComing Homeí mode.
Because a powerful engine such as this also needs more air to breathe, the intake system was modified extensively. Special high-pressure pumps were installed to ensure optimal fuel supply. The BRABUS engine cover made from red carbon adds the visual finishing touches to the V8.
The interior designers of the automotive refinement specialist created a particularly exclusive BRABUS MASTERPIECE interior

The tremendous amount of development work is reflected in the unrivalled performance data. Both the output of 662 kW / 900 hp (888 bhp) at a low 6,200 rpm and the massive torque of 1,250 Nm (922 lb-ft), already on tap at 2,900 rpm, represent top values in this vehicle category.

These exquisite interior appointments demonstrate the love of detail invested in the work of the BRABUS upholstery shop.
