Brabus is best known for creating some of the most powerful and fastest Mercedes-Benz models on the planet. Its latest project is a little bit different.
The tuning company recently received a request from an owner of the all-new Mercedes-AMG G63 to have the brutish SUV’s interior re-trimmed in a bright shade of blue. This is the result.
These images shared on social media by Brabus show that almost every single square inch of the G63’s cabin has been bathed in blue upholstery. The seats, for example, are a combination of blue Alcantara, blue leather, and light blue stitching.
It is a similar story on the dashboard, which appears to be trimmed exclusively in blue Alcantara with blue stitching. The same can be said about the pillars, headliner, door panels, rear seats, steering wheel, and head rests.
There’s far too much Alcantara. Fortunately, some slightly classier blue leather is found beyond the seats, namely along the transmission tunnel and, well, the floor mats (yes, it has leather floor mats).
While the interior has been comprehensive overhauled, it doesn’t seem as though Brabus has messed with the G63’s internals. Not that it had to.
Straight from the factory, the new G63 comes complete with a 4.0-liter twin-turbo V8 in place of the 5.5-liter unit of the previous generation. The new engine pumps out 577 hp and 627 lb-ft (850 Nm) of torque and is mated to a nine-speed automatic transmission, and is enough to send the G63 to 62 mph (100 km/h) in 4.5 seconds. The top speed is limited to 137 mph (220 km/h), but this can be increased to 149 mph (240 km/h) if you go for the (optional) AMG Driver’s Package.
