the torque is electronic limited to just 1100Nm ... like Clarkson claimed... without limiter it can restart a dead planet with limiter it still can power a aircraft carrier :)

sweet jesus!!!
does it even need a gearbox?! just stick in 4th and you shall have 0-130 in 15 seconds i suppose
1400NM at 2100RPM oh man thats too much even for an auto!

Is this thing RWD or AWD? Stats say rear.

What is the actual displacement? The Brabus site has 6.233L (6233cc) but it also has 384ci AND 385ci for the same engine. My math gives me roughly 380.4ci

I think 6.2L is correct since it appears on the Brabus site more often than the cubic inches size.

Anyway, I'd rather have the GL63 or the ML63 if I was going to buy a Brabus SUV. Less hp but easier to live with and better looking.

Of course - it's auto. Can't imagine it with manual or dual clutch :D

Perhaps the only dual clutch box that could have a chance of surviving in this car (at least for some time) is one of Veyron SS.

@fastestlaps: It's a Brabus built Mercedes, so of course it has one of MB's bullet proof 5 speed automatics.

The auto is probably a built up version of the W5A580, same auto used in the SLR McLaren and many of MB's other torque monsters.

The torque figure is beyond belief!

Luckily - this is the sort of car that suits a high torqe engine. But what kind of gearbox can endure full throttle clutch dump on a three ton 4x4 with 1500 Nm??

haha, that would be true. And it costs way too expensive, more than a ferrari...

Wouldn't go offroad with that. Chances are you'll run out of fuel as it needs 28,4 l/100km already in urban driving.

It's V12 twin turbo
