Mzansi takes delivery of its 1st Brabus XLP 900 6×6 adventure
Serving as a custom-built collaboration between the German tuning specialists at Brabus and their local South African representative, RACE!, Mzansi now has its first XLP 900 6×6.
According to the local representatives, the story of this particular vehicle started right here. It began its life as a regular Manufaktur classic grey non-metallic W465 Mercedes-AMG G63, ordered through a local Mercedes-Benz dealership. From there, it was shipped off to Brabus headquarters in Bottrop, Germany, where the extensive transformation took place.

What arrived back in South Africa is something truly unique. The original engine underwent a significant upgrade, now an enlarged 4.5l displacement unit. This powerhouse produces 662kW and a colossal 1 250N.m of torque. Despite its 4.5t weight, this means it can hit 100km/h in just 5.2 seconds, with a top speed limited to 210km/h. It's a level of performance that's hard to reconcile with its sheer size and off-road capabilities.

The cabin features a full 'Tiffany Blue' Masterpiece interior, showcasing the bespoke luxury and attention to detail Brabus is known for. This isn't a cheap endeavour; the build alone was a one million Euro (approximately R20m) project before factoring in the significant import duties and taxes for South Africa, as confirmed by RACE! Also mentioned was a notable increase in interest from potential new clients, suggesting that this won't be the last Brabus XLP 900 6×6 we see on South African roads. It really highlights the growing appetite for these ultra-exclusive, custom-engineered vehicles among enthusiasts locally.
