888BHP V12 Powered Brabus G Class!

[harrye500]

A nice Landy is a lovely thing to see. I haven't seen the new one yet, nasty is it?. The Brabus has a market I guess, hey I'll bet those 10 are already sold to a few super rich (in ego and cash)! Still though, I bet us on this forum are the last generations to see a V12 put in a car. I'd think even the M273 has a limited life now, buy one while you still can (or a G Wagon if you have the dosh and no style )!!

Top Gear Magazine view on it

They’ve said a lot of words and said nothing ! Not surprising

That is lovely

Im not sure what to make of it.. It is a total waste of a vehicle as it has superb off road potential but the reality is none of them would ever go near getting scratched and muddy due to their cost.
I did get to go in a 3l diesel one, interior was very nice and was surprised how quick it was..
A far more sensible option would be to save 100k and a buy a Suzuki jimny "g-wagon" .
This is one little 4x4 that celebrates its 50th birthday next year.

Love that Jimny-wagen!

There are so many body kits available for this little 4x4.. Saw a new? g63 2 door rendering recently, I swear they have literally copied the jimny !
But how good does this look ?

Well well Lostkiwi, actually they seem to have put some thought into that new Defender. Has a slight look of the old one, I'm sure it'll fly out of the showroom but never ever see any real offroading from the owner!

Anyone thinks this is ugly needs to see the new Defender...Jeep Compass anyone ?

I think the new Defender reminds a little of the Skoda Yeti, actually...

It does, I prefer the Yeti...

 

[grayb]

And this Brabus is hideous... Just saying/IMO/etc etc

It does, I prefer the Yeti...

I prefer the old Defender. I think that design can go on forever

I hope so, I'm looking out the window at mine at the moment
