A visit to Brabus (CAUTION: G-wagen Porn included)

All:

Last weekend, we had a European meeting of 500E/E500 owners in Germany. Part of the day's festivities was a private tour at Brabus headquarters in Bottrop.

There was a plethora of various G-models both in the parking lot of the facility (new vehicles being prepared for sale) as well as vehicles being serviced in the workshop. Unfortunately Brabus would not let us take any photos inside the workshop, but we were free to take photos of the cars outside.

One of the Brabus executives who led us on the tour of the facility told me that approximately 65% of current Brabus vehicle production is for G-wagen models.  That's impressive.  Of course, a significant percentage of those sales go directly from Germany to the Middle Eastern nations.

Enjoy the attached photos.  These were taken last Saturday, exactly one week ago.

The images are resized approximately 50% from their original size.

Cheers,
Gerry

Re: A visit to Brabus (CAUTION: G-wagen Porn included)

What make and model are the tires they used on the G63 6X6? Looks to me like the Pro Comp MT 2 but I am not sure.

Re: A visit to Brabus (CAUTION: G-wagen Porn included)

Here is some additional G-porn that I took at the main Mercedes-Benz factory in Sindelfingen (Stuttgart), Germany. This was outside of the Center of Excellence, which until fairly recently was the Maybach salon. They had a couple of AMG G's on display outside.

I got a couple of close-ups of the tires, and this should confirm the earlier statements from 94rover and Titus.

Cheers,
Gerry

Re: A visit to Brabus (CAUTION: G-wagen Porn included)

I see a lot of money and tastless efort spent trying to render the G useless at doing
what it was initially meant to do.I'm sure the posers will love it.
If this is porn, it is is as shamefull as child porn.

<p>According to Brabus, 90+% of the "poseurs" who are buying these 6x6 models are in the Middle East.</p><p>I personally find child porn and those who like it to be <u>far</u> more despicable than any admirer of an overly pimped-out G-Class model, whether a sheikh or not. <br /></p>

RE: A visit to Brabus (CAUTION: G-wagen Porn included)

I am glad these are mostly confined to Europe/ME/USA.
If my offoading buddies knew of them they would be laughing their arses off. "Look what the 'legendary' G-wagen has become"
