Golsfjellet, Norway — High intensity footage from the annual Ski Slope Rally where a heavily modified Mercedes-AMG G63 absolutely crushed an uphill drag run at Golsfjellet Alpincenter in Norway.
The Brabus Widestar is built by Brabus, a German tuning firm known for taking Mercedes-Benz vehicles to extreme power for maximum performance. The Widestar edition adds around 10 cm to the vehicle’s width with aggressive fender flares, custom front/rear bumpers, and can accommodate 20 to 24-inch wheels.
The ultra-luxury SUV (price range $250,000 to over $550,000) thrived in the rapid ascent and it sounds like all 700 horses were out to trot:
The Official Account for Mercedes-Benz USA commented on the post with ski pun approval:
“Mogul of the moguls.” -Mercedes-Benz USA
Mercedes USA is obviously hip to alligning itself with the non-price conscious skiing public like this pair who seemingly parked in the middle of ski slope to enjoy cousants and coffee on the hood of their G-Wagon.
About 700hp G63 AMG Brabus Widestar
Engine and performance
- Based on the standard Mercedes-AMG G63, Brabus upgrades the engine significantly.
- The Widestar typically features a tuned twin-turbo V8 producing around 700 horsepower, sometimes more depending on exact package and year.
- Brabus often increases torque dramatically as well, giving the SUV very strong acceleration for its size.
- The result is SUV performance that rivals or exceeds many sports cars in straight-line speed.
Chassis and body mods
- The “Widestar” designation refers to a widened body kit.
- This includes flared fenders, wider wheels and tires, and often a more aggressive front fascia and rear bumper.
- The widened stance not only looks dramatic but also improves stability and road presence.
Braking, suspension, sound
- Brabus usually adds upgraded brakes and often adjustable or reinforced suspension to handle the added power and weight.
- A signature Brabus exhaust is typically fitted, giving a louder, more aggressive sound than stock.
Luxury and interior
- The interior is often customized with premium leather, Alcantara, special stitching, carbon fiber trim, and bespoke Brabus logos.
- Buyers can choose almost any personalization they want, so no two Brabus G63s are exactly the same.
