Your regular Mercedes-Benz G-Class or Mercedes-AMG G 63 may be cool, but it’s not a completely overhauled and armored G-Wagen cool, like this Invicto Mission VR6 Plus ERV, which came straight from Brabus’ portfolio and is looking for a new home on the Web.

Originally unveiled back in 2020, the Invicto by Brabus, which is the vehicle’s official name, is part of a special series that comprises the Pure, Luxury, and Mission versions. All models pack the Invicto Shelter Cell, which meets the OEM factory armoring standards and comprises the armoring steel plates and some 3D-printed parts for extra protection. They have VR6 ballistic protection, and the ERV (Explosion Resistant Vehicle) can withstand, well, small explosions.
As its name implies, the Invicto by Brabus Luxury offers ballistic protection and boasts a luxurious interior comprising fine leather and Alcantara upholstery, whereas the Pure boasts the same armoring, while keeping its exterior and interior close to the standard G-Wagen. Finally, the Mission is for “special target groups” and is pretty much an escort vehicle, with stuff such as an intercom, individual bucket seats on the inside with racing harnesses, an escape hatch, emergency lights, and several other things.
This is the configuration of the pictured Mercedes-Benz G 500 (G 550 in our market). It features the Invicto emblems inside and out, special badges, a grille insert, B-pillar logos, an Acetech ECU with SP3, an RFID system, white, red, and dimmable lights on the interior, a heavy duty front winch, a flashing light system, a roof front light bar, auxiliary roof lights, night vision, IR package at the front and rear, a fire extinguishing system, a fresh air system, etc.

The hot-formed armored steel plates are clearly included, alongside the aforementioned 3D printed protection elements. This special machine boasts the ERV Package, seats with variable foam geometry, heavy duty fabric upholstery, special floor mats, a digital rearview mirror, USB ports, special entry sills, and a few other goodies that further separate the Brabus Invicto Mission VR6 Plus ERV from the regular G-Wagens.
It rides on heavy-duty wheels that measure 20 inches, has reinforced high-performance brakes, a retuned chassis, runflat tires, and a V8 engine under the hood that develops 416 hp (421 ps/310 kW). As a reminder, the latest 2025 G 550 no longer has a V8 under the hood, but a 3.0L inline-six with forced induction and hybrid assistance. The model offers 443 hp (ps/kW), hits 60 mph (97 kph) in 5.3 seconds, and starts at $148,250.
More on the pricing of the pictured Brabus Invicto Mission VR6 Plus ERV in a few moments, as we also have to tell you about other features. It has a Graphite Metallic paint, the AMG Line exterior package, Stainless Steel package, Night Package, Assistance Package, and a fuel tank with an increased capacity of 100 liters (26.4 gallons). Adaptive damping, an auxiliary heater, ambient lighting, a TV tuner, tinted windows, a 360-degree camera system, and other similar stuff are also on deck.
Straight from the get-go, this armored ride looks extremely special, with its modified exterior, chunky runflat tires wrapped around the new wheels, winch at the front, special emblems, auxiliary lights, and roof rack. If anything, it looks like an overlander owned by someone who likes to spend their time outdoors, and since it can move under the radar, the bad guys won’t see it coming. Sure, it all depends on what everyone understands by ‘bad guys.’

As we already told you, Brabus’ Invicto Mission VR6 Plus ERV, which you can see in the photo gallery above, is not a Mercedes-AMG G 63 but a Mercedes-Benz G 500, which is sold in our market as the G 550. Therefore, the average Joe might be tempted to think that it doesn’t cost that much money (for a new-age G-Wagen), though they should remember that it offers VR6 ballistic protection and numerous other ‘toys’ that make it worthy of seating four special forces members on those individual seats.
The pictured example has the equivalent of 538 miles (866 km) on the odometer and a first registration dating back to May 2019. It’s said to return 12.3 mpg US (19.1 l/100 km) combined and emit 445 g/km of CO2. As for the asking price, you are looking at a jaw-dropping €712,810, including tax. This translates to almost $830,000 at the current exchange rate.
Thus, for the price of this armored truck that still has some premium credentials, one can buy no fewer than five brand-new Mercedes-Benz G 550 SUVs in the United States of America, though none of those will save their life if things go south all of a sudden. Are you wondering where you can buy this Invicto VR6 Plus ERV armored ride? We found it on Brabus’ official website here, so if you want it, you know what to do next.
