@@rumapark494 The rocket 900 is one hell of a thing indeed, I really like the mansory rs7 which is why I have a slight preference to mansory (cus they do audi cars)
Mansory ruins about 99% of their cars and Brabus with their excessive branding and fake vents are ridiculous, but Brabus actually have a few models that are improved over a "regular" AMG.
The sound is the way to my heart and hence one of the reasons why I have a GL 63 AMG; not to mention it feels special inside and out. It too has the wheelie sensation which feels plain nuts; an energy that belies its relative subtlety
I had the 800 upgrade on mine. The great thing is, that if the upgrade is installed before the car is registered, then Brabus covers the driveline like Mercedes would.
Seriously though, as with the lettering, the fake vents, the exhaust.... this doesn't look like a car, Brabus would be letting on the street. I think this is a customer car where the person just bought a package from Brabus to mod his G63 by themselves. No way is this from a dealer.
It's only a "700" model and still lots of black plastic bits, that's the model for soccer players that play in 2nd division. The 1st division players have at least an "800" model with all carbon fiber bits and a bright orange interior and if they're really good they might even have the "900 rocket" model with a Tiffany blue interior and extra Mansory crap all over. 😅😂😂
700 refers to the brabus engine upgrade you went for not the bodykit or the “plastic bits”. 700 being the lowest (just a tune) for 7 grand then 800 for 24 grand and a 900 engine upgrade for 95 grand. This car is fairly well specced, it has the brabus widestar kit ( 24 grand for just the fenders) but no bespoke interior
Mat, not all buyers are from UK and worldwide. There are some from German autobahn blast areas, so the roof spoiler could keep them away from empty box truck fly-slide by grass on 250+ km/h 😂
The G Wagon always looked like something industrial from the 80's anyway so it could not be helped. That carbon fibre vent on the bonnet looks like something from Temu 😅😂
Thats because it is from the 80s😂 it's been offered by Mercedes as a civilian model since 1979 and the design has basically not changed since. It was actually developed as a military vehicle since 1973 so technically it's actually from the 70s. A very long time for a car to be in production
It's a shame the new G63s have now been recalled and discontinued until they can find a solution to the premature rusting issues that will send the car to the scrap yard quicker than the car can do 0-60 mph.
Not really i think some of their cars are amazing and it really adds that special tone to them but for some of them like this g63 are not so good but you gotta remember its the owners choice to either send their car to them or not
Personally i love all mansory and brabus cars we cant be so monkeys to say that mansory and brabus ruins everething i think that its okay if thr car is not 1 of 1 or sonething line that
Green Hell Magno paint is exclusive for AMG GT-R. So Brabus made their own slightly different version or get permission for original paint colour from Mercedes.
@lloydbonafide3398 Not the best off road vehicle. The best off road vehicles are way more reliable. You don't see these in war zones, Australian outback, ...
Every time a performance benz lets off the throttle it sounds like a hole opened in the middle of the cylinders and like everything is out of balance. Its like putters out when you lift off the throttle in a way that no other car does.
Almost all cars with LED headlights have the condensation problem because the LEDs do not get hot like the regular light bulbs ;-) There should be a vent system to heat them with the heat of the engine or something! Problem solved. But that's just my opinion...
Dear Mat, I’ve watched your videos for years by now and every time I see you speaking about fake vents, one question pops in my head: is it possible to make some cut outs and somehow transform them from fake to actually functioning vents/hood scoops? Maybe you will wonder: why to butcher something that expensive (if those are made from carbon fiber for example) and not choose the real ones? The thing is: I’m just curious, that’s all. P.S.: if it comes to making the cuts, I realise that the structural integrity might be affected. Thank you in advance for your answer. And like always: great content, great channel, always a pleasure to watch your videos.
It's not that simple. It is fully legal in the EU. But what is much more important, Brabus cover the driveline warranty instead of Mercedes. That is what you also pay for. Sure some "tuner" can do something similar, but then you are on your own and hopefully won't get pulled over and asked to do an emissions test.
there are so many expensive car reviews lately... I personally preferred it when matt reviewed more common cars. Esp just a Brabus, it is just a pimped G wagon (car we have seen many times on this channel) and the pimping is just more pozer and exterior looks...
You can't really ruin something already hideous, although in its defence at least the G63 got some of the Russian mummies of Wimbledon and Hampstead out of their Hummers.
The fact that brabus made it look like crap even after so many pointless 'modifications' and literally made it less comfortable... The clowns buying this deserve to get scammed
Tbh, 100K more over a stock G63 is a bit of an insane markup for what you really get. I was pretty disappointed to see all the fake vents though. Could've made them actually assist the vehicle rather than look like cheap plastic.
I love that color. I like that car, but without those fake vents and hood scoop. The price is insane! Is it justified? I don't know. If I had that money would I buy it? Maybe yes, maybe no. Mat said... avoid. I would think that Brabus should pay attention, apparently it's taking the wrong road.Thanks for the video!
