Mercedes-Benz G-Class Brabus 800 Adventure XLP With Drone Landing Pad

The cancellation of the 2020 Geneva Motor Show left the Brabus 800 Adventure XLP without an actual public debut. The hardcore Mercedes-Benz G-Class-based pickup was revealed online just a few weeks before the coronavirus pandemic hit the world and never got the attention it deserved. Thankfully, there’s a new video that unhides all the little secrets of the vehicle.

Courtesy of Supercar Blondie on YouTube, the 9-minute clip starts with a detailed exterior walkaround which reminds us how massive the 800 Adventure XLP is. As a reminder, the wheelbase has been extended by a considerable 19.7 inches (50 centimeters) to accommodate the cargo bed and, in total, the truck measures 17.4 feet (5.31 meters) or 27.1 inches (68.9 centimeters) longer than a stock G63.
 
When the off-roader was unveiled earlier this year, the official press release briefly mentioned an optionally available Wingcopter drone that attaches to the cargo area which, by the way, features a large window with an equally large wiper. The company calls its drone the Wingcopter and it’s an upgrade that will set you back – behold! – $100,000.
 

And just because you like numbers, here’s one more impressive figure – the top speed of this drone is 150 miles per hour (241 kilometers per hour). Yes, that’s not a typo – the drone is actually faster than the truck which has a top speed of 130 mph (209 kph).
 
Want more numbers? 789 horsepower (588 kilowatts) and 738 pound-feet (1,000 Newton-meters) of torque coming from a heavily modified version of Mercedes’ 4.0-liter twin-turbo V8. All this power ensures the 0-62 mph (0-100 kph) sprint takes just 4.8 seconds.
 
One final number? The price. Before all options, the Brabus 800 Adventure XLP starts at 575,630 euros ($626,236 at current exchange rates). Sky’s the limit and you can easily spec an example for 666,386 euros ($725,064) – or even more.
