This absolute beast is the Brabus G800… And Mat’s got his hands on one for an all-new in-depth review!
The Brabus G800 is a maxed out version of the Mercedes-AMG G65. And if you thought a new AMG G-Wagon was expensive when new, well trust us, it’s got nothing on the G800's price tag. When new, one of these would have set you back £600,000!!
So of course, with a price like that, you know the quality of the G800 is going to be out of this world. There are a whole host of upgrades compared to the standard G65, with massive air intakes and 23” alloys on the outside, to a load of soft leather and carbon fibre found throughout the cabin.
The upgrades don’t just stop there though. Under the bonnet you’ll find a monumental 6-litre twin-turbo V12 which can pump out 800hp & 1,100Nm of torque!!
It’s one of the most imposing cars on the road… But can it really justify the £600,000 price tag? You’ll have to stick with Mat to find out!

Hi Mat here. Should I stop reviewing cars like this and focus more on those people can actually buy, like we used to in the early day of the channel?
For sure!
Do both.
Review both types :)
Do both please..
Do both cuz we luv cars that make us to say wow
😁
If I had this car, I'd pull over the cops and ask for their license.
😂😂😂😂
I would chase the cops back if they're onto me
You will mate. ❤😂😅

Better to buy lotus emira than this !
Trust me, that car price will go 📈📈📈 if the EQG will be revealed one day😂
The old G was great as a status symbol, not great as a car. Rough ride, cramped interior, and for the current depreciated price of this, (~$400k), I could buy a EQG, AND blah blah blah. The V12 means a lot more as a kid (all the 65 cars feel more special in my head in spades), but modern tech, better driving dynamics, better ride, equally nice interior, more space, and over the air updates for minimum $100k less is too nice a deal to pass up
This will probably become a billionaire collectors item

Light brown interior is a definite no no - IMO. Why choose that awful colour?

Can’t believe Mercedes would mess up with the high beam stalk and the gear shifter like that. Unbelievable
I bet nobody would need to flash lights from this one lol
You cant believe it because Mercedes didnt. There is no paddleshifter on the normal G65... Its just that Brabus added them and didnt know what to do with the high beam stalk.
Interior looks like the car from "Dumb&Dumber", but premium edition. xD
The interior is the best part.

When the depreciation of your car costs more than most people's homes...
Really? Even a small property costs very much in Europe. And then there's still the house you *have to pay. No one I know had to pay less than 800k€ ($945k). My parents just bought a new house for 3.3M€ ($3.54M) and it looks average. Not very luxurious at all.
@@justthecousinoftheguywitho2337 holy fuck where do you live. you are incredibly privileged to believe 800k is average
@@justthecousinoftheguywitho2337 weird flex? 3.3M€ is NOT average. You are right that property’s are pretty expensive in Europe, but 3.3M€ for a house is not. fucking. average. I think you just put it there to flex smh
My friend, you are what is known as someone who knows nothing different from being rich, I consider my house to be a lovely house, and is bigger than most of my friend’s houses, but at most it is worth £400k

that buzzing is the oil pump starter thingy. i do know some mercedes' have them. basically the oil pump pumps the oil and gets it circulated before you start it reducing wear on the engine and preventing you from having to wait as long for the car to be ready to drive. the feature is used because of how big the engine is or how far the oil has to travel before it gets to the filter, with this twin turbo v12 that oil system is definitely needed
Love this channel, always informative and amusing 👍💯👍
Those rear brake rotors look like they're from a bicycle on a discount.
lmao!
Lmaooooo
On discount hahahhaaaa
Prob because the suspension is soft so the car nose dives so hard that the rear brakes end up doing almost nothing 😂
Classic Mercedes-Benz
Please get the new version. It is a whole new experience. We look forward to it

"The most stupidest vehicle on sale" - Doug Demuro.
Thats Dacia for you.
The g65 is the one he said because it’s way expensive than the g63. But I agree the older g wagons are what you said.This one is special tho, made for specific costumers.
Wrong channel
Doug said this for the “normal “ G65, I would love to see what he says about this “brabus” one
@@kamata93 Dacia? You mean the brand? It's one of the most affordable manufacturer with Renault engineering. What're you on about mate?
professional and funny review. I cant get enough of u Man
Random request but can we get a bloopers reel from you Matt? You're hilarious and we would all love it❤
Matt: Revs the car once
Me:"That's £20 gone already"
12.3mpg on the gauge 😂
😂@Zeddd 86 you sound like some people from my country in Africa. When you are driving and happen to change the gear wrongly (according to them) you hear someone at the backseat going “Come on man change that gear properly, you are wasting petrol!”. They also know exactly how long they can drive the car without buying extra petrol if they have 1 litre left in the tank😂😂

I find just flooring it from standstill in my SRT instead of holding the brake first works much better.
"it's not black, it's Grey, therefore it's more expensive" 😭 😭 ffs
imagine paying 600,000 pounds for a car with fake vents🤦♂️ they’re inescapable
I’m disappointed to mate that’s a lot lot lot money.
bruhhhh
Don’t see why you’d ever buy this, cool car but that’s rolls money
I’d be more worried that I’d just lost 300,000 after driving it out the show room 😂😂 This is exactly the difference between Rich & Wealthy people…

Thanks for your honesty in this review and others. I think a lot of other reviewers would tip-toe around the faults and find nice things to say just because they're grateful for the opportunity to drive it.
Your videos are amazing
Insane that is just amazing 🤯
I thought this was the new g800, i was pretty excited
This is the best channel in the world I love mat’s sense of Humour
Though there is something that worries me though because the exhaust comes out in the sun it looks beautiful but that makes me think if this car gets rear ended I think if the wheel gets pushed away it will just push it gets pushed against the exhaust which will bend the whole entire exhaust
I love how matt always introduces the german carwow with snippets of the german presenter saying something we cannot understand with such bombastic expressions hahahaha
LOOOL “chop up some class A”🤣🤣🤣🤣
Can you imagine t i 🤣😙😎😚😎😑
How do we know that ☺🤨🙂😚🙂😐
This content is class you gotta love this channel
Love this channel this guy's hilarious 😂
Great video. ☺
Yes Mat, this is the one we've been waiting for..a Brabus tuned car review 😂
Opinions on the G wagon:
Matt: 😯 🤓
Yanni: 😍 🙃
Doug: 😒 😤
Doug sucks
Doug literally owns a hideous G Wagon himself.
and yet all of them are better than clarkson and company, still, youtubers are literally random people that post sht they say on the internet, for no good reason people react as if they actually know what they re talking about
Except Doug's favourite car is a G wagon.
So many Doug haters, Doug is great ngl
I drive that road everyday!! so cool to see it in a video
Who else didn't really feel this car before Mat reviewed it
the man makes a car lovable after reviewing it
The review we never knew we needed 😍
Always love this version
Love the exhaust sound yeses
First time watching your video and minute into it, I’m a fan!! You are hilarious 🤣.
Love the content
This channel would be nowhere without matt imagine if they replaced him, it's like top gear
yup, carbuyer went to shit when he left
Yeah still heart broken about top gear switching hosts, it’ll never be the same again😔
ah, the PC Willis stance. A classic
Carry on doing what you do it’s nice to dream
I just love it😊. Accelerates so good.
Great vid
The "high level brake light" there is called the CHMSL (pronounced chimzel) which stands for Center High Mounted Stop Light.
Usefulness thing ever.
Could you do offroad test between all the generations of the G wagen? From the newest v8 to the oldest military machine
That thumbnail is a masterpiece….
That looks sick
I was in Rushden Lakes in the midlands on Thursday and FREAKED OUT because I saw a Brabus about 3 hours after I watched this video, monster of a vehicle🔥

Mat can review a Corolla and I will still watch it
I love this man
I always loved this car. Looks like the go to car in case of a zombie apocalypse.
Cars like these will definitely shoot up in value when the market switches to full hybrid/electric
I love watching mat's reviews of luxury cars 😊While I can barely afford a bicycle 🥲
First ever G wagon interior I actually like.
Awesome video!😸
I want to see a review of the new Hyundai i30 n or kona
One drag race me the kia stinger GT would also be Nice
Nobody :
Matt: take out my iPad and play mafia city
Also matt: * takes out phone, kill him. 😂
I just bought this model it’s amazing comes with glue and instructions. 1/12 scale
Best thing about it is the way it shakes when you Rev it
Monter,mammoth,dinosaur v12...awfully awesome
First time I drove a G65 I exclaimed “this thing is like riding a rocket powered Buffalo”!!!
🤣
The buzzing noise is the air compressor trying to fill up the suspension airbags. I suspect the vehicle has a leak somewhere and so the compressor has to kick on all the time to try to level out the vehicle. I just recently dealt with a leaky air suspension on my Equus.
Sounds insane
We want Matt vs Yianni. No cars, Just running.
amazing video Matt. hoping to see Brabus Rocket 900 from you
The buzzing sound is the oil pump for Turbo Cooling
This guy is the BEST
I was talking about this car yesterday with my friend and you did a review right on point lmao
Why the passenger rear window is so dirty ?
its called a window tint 😂
Mafia stuff happened 😬
Did you watch Pulp Fiction?
Best in class 🔥
The Rainbow-Daytona comparison is spot on. Both products are about as tasteful and sophisticated as a solid gold toilet-bowl.
Perfect car to travel from one fuel station to the other.
10:54 the sound you hear is boost pressure venting from the intake side through blow off valves, boost does not vent through the wastegate, wastegates only see exhaust gasses
Literally the point at which I stopped watching. Intolerable at this level.
Nice drive up Aston Hill near Watlington. great roads
11:13 . That shot looks amazing when the Brabus is seen emerging through the shadows.
How did I read this the moment that part came
Mat, I'd love to watch the German channel, but then I wouldn't have you presenting it. :-)
The noise when you shut the door is the air pump for the suspension. Brabus knows that their customers are as fat as they have money to spend, so the pump primes for a 2x 180 kilo fatload to enter the passenger room.
I see they expected an American to get in
The pump noise when you open driver door is because gearbox oil pump make presure oil to be able to select R/N/D on selecter.. it is on every single automatic gearbox cars
That was filmed near Aston Rowant. Brilliantly over the top vehicle
