This 2014 Mercedes-Benz G63 AMG BRABUS 6x6 was ordered new in
Germany in Designo Bright Mystic White II over a Designo Light
Brown leather interior. Following the initial delivery, the vehicle
was taken to BRABUS of Bottrop, Germany, for modifications to
B63S-700 specification. Work by BRABUS included installing a
custom-designed ECU, larger turbochargers, new intake air pipes
with gold heat shielding, an additional air-to-water intercooler,
high-performance catalytic converters with 75mm, lower-resistance
stainless-steel downpipes and butterfly valves to route the exhaust
through the side pipes when desired. Additional vents have been
added to the hood and the tops of the fenders to aid in keeping
this V8 running cool. The interior was refinished in black and
white BRABUS leather with a hex-grid pattern created by contrasting
stitching. This leather covers the seats and is extended onto the
door panels. The black leather headrests display embroidery reading
"BRABUS 700." Continuing the white and black theme is white
carbon-fiber trim used throughout the interior and a black
Alcantara headliner. The wheels were upgraded with black and red
Hutchinson beadlock wheels with BRABUS center caps currently shod
with 37x13.5-inch Nitto Ridge Grappler tires. The exterior of the
car also received additional LED lighting, BRABUS badging on the
rear and a red G700 badge in the grille, as well as a "B" in place
of the Mercedes logo throughout the car. Following the completion
of the work at BRABUS, the 6x6 was imported into the United States
under the "Show and Display" rule. A sticker has been affixed in
the engine compartment showing that this car has been modified to
meet the EPA emission standards in September 2014 by G&K
Automotive Conversion of Santa Ana, CA. The vehicle is accompanied
by its importation documents and a letter from the National Highway
Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) confirming that its request
to be in the United States under the "Show or Display" rule was
granted. More recently, the tires, front brake pads and one of the
driveshafts were changed in September 2021. In 2023 the airlines
were replaced, the wood was refinished and new BRABUS side steps
were added. With just over 100 6x6s being produced, the added
exclusivity of the BRABUS upgrades only adds to the appeal of what
has been called "the most spectacular cross-country vehicle of all
time." 10,000 actual miles.
