The New Brabus 850 XL Is A Definitive Powerhouse
If we were at school and we were asked how to circumvent the handicap procured from a heavy mass weight, we would answer that putting a few more horsepower under the hood would be enough. Brabus, famous tuner for Mercedes-Benz, confirms our hypothesis by presenting the 850 XL, the craziest mechanical engineering item you will ever find on the market. In fact, the mighty and already extremely powerful AMG GLS63 has been pumped so much until reaching 850 horses and 1.500Nm of torque.
These are numbers that make our head spins only by reading them, but necessary if we want our big SUV to stand up to a Lamborghini, at least on a motorway. This black giant, made even more threatening by the new profiles in carbon fiber and the huge 23” monoblock wheels is thus able to accelerate from 0 to 100 kph in just 4.2 seconds. All this has been achieved by radical modifications to the twin-turbo V8, also increased in size rising from 5.5cc to 6.0cc.
