Kylie Jenner’s Latest Go-To Car Is a Custom Mercedes-AMG G 63 With Brabus Off-Road Parts

When your garage is filled with crazy expensive cars, it’s pretty difficult to choose just one as your designated go-to car. But Kylie Jenner has no issues switching from one car to the other. However, she’s currently going for her custom Mercedes-AMG G 63 with Brabus parts.

Kylie Jenner’s garage is the most expensive out of all the Kardashian-Jenner sisters. While it’s not as customized as her sister Kim’s, it includes lots of pricey cars. In her collection, there’s a $3 million Bugatti Chiron, a Ferrari LaFerrari that she got from her partner, Travis Scott, several Rolls-Royces, a Cullinan with a pink interior, a Ghost, and a Phantom. Plus a Lamborghini Aventador, a Mercedes-Maybach S-Class, and a Mercedes-Maybach GLS 600. That is without including Travis Scott’s expensive car collection.

With all of these, she has no trouble switching up now and then, opting for one of them to become her go-to car for a while. In this case, she has recently shown the most interest in a silver Mercedes-AMG G 63 Brabus.

The G-Wagen is a popular choice among celebrities and other high-profile names, so it’s not surprising to see the Kardashian-Jenners jump on this trend. Kylie has had multiple models from the German brand. She was recently seen out and about, filming scenes for the family’s reality show, The Kardashians, and her vehicle of choice was this G 63 Brabus.

Since Kylie spares no expense when it comes to her cars, this G-Wagen has been heavily customized with Brabus parts. It displays a Widestar kit, which features modified fenders and bumpers, a carbon fiber hood, which are part of the Brabus Adventure pack. The equipment list also includes specific bull bar and integrated winch at the front and wind deflectors above the windshield. It has new LED lights on top, and a big, silver roof rack bar, plus a silver ladder. The radiator grille doesn’t sport the usual “B” logo, but it is visible on the hood and at the rear, on the spare wheel cover.

The off-roader also comes with new wheels called Brabus Adventure XLP. There’s no information whether the engine also got the Brabus treatment. For this project, Kylie seems to have worked with Platinum Motorsport, a famous auto repair shop and Kim’s longtime collaborator, which re-shared the set of pictures on its official Instagram account. The vehicle also sports a Platinum Motorsport license plate frame. And it’s no wonder Kylie likes it so much.

Real Estate Mogul and Car Enthusiast Adds New Mercedes-Benz G 550 4×4² to His Garage

When your social media description includes the words “car collector,” people know what to expect. And Vinny Nazerian’s account doesn’t disappoint. Soon, we’ll see a newly purchased Mercedes-Benz G 550 4×4² there.

For people with the financial means, the opportunities are endless. Whether we’re talking about real estate, the automotive industry, or business opportunity, they can get it.

And real estate tycoon Vinny Nazerian, owner of The Nazerian Group, has made it and can afford a lot of things, cars and mansions, you name it. The businessman proclaims himself a “construction expert,” a car collector, and a watch fan, but he puts his “family first.” Now we’re not going to focus on all of these characteristics, but just on his love for the automotive world.

If you check Vinny’s profile, what you’ll find in abundance are cars. There are a Cadillac Escalade, a Rolls-Royce Phantom, a Ferrari F8 Tributo, a Lamborghini Urus, and many others. He also just recently added a black 2022 Bentley Continental GT Convertible. He’s been working with the top car customizing shops like Platinum Motorsport and RDB LA, which are the top choices for celebrities and wealthy customers who own exotics.

This time, he’s just collaborated with Champion Motoring, a dealership from San Diego, California, which provides athletes and car connoisseurs with whatever their hearts desire. In this case, Vinny Nazerian went for a 2018 Mercedes-Benz G 550 4×4².

The dealership first shared a look at the platinum silver off-roader at the end of June, when they put it up for sale. It was available for a few weeks, but the official Instagram account for Champion Motoring edited the description on August 19, when they revealed Nazerian is the one who purchased this “never driven, one-of-one” model.

The caption shares that the vehicle comes with only 95 mi (153 km) on the clock and that it was part of a limited production series. The interior features black and carbon fiber accents on the center console, while the exterior is platinum silver-painted. And although it is not black, like the majority of the cars in his collection, there’s no question that the insane G 550 4×4² will look good and imposing among Vinny Nazerian’s other models.

Features of the New Brabus 800 Adventure XLP

BRABUS undoubtedly understands how to win over the local market and give onlookers a wonderful sight to behold, capturing their pleasures and interests. Considering the biggest off-road product project, we go dark and mean with the New Brabus 800 Adventure XLP, having an amazing signature look and the definition of limitless driving excitement.
The modern endowment of power, energy, and perseverance offers premium off-road capabilities and an incredible level of luxury. For those who love adventures, this is a can’t-miss companion, the ultra-go-anywhere pickup characterized by the best performance, bold luxury, and explicit design. 

The Brabus incorporates ride control suspension packages with adjustable ride height and dampening to improve the truck’s ability on and off-road. Some standout features are the front and back portal axles, the intense cable winch integrated into the front bodywork, and the roof rack setup. It also has an outstanding spare tire carrier, and the 22-inch Monoblock HD forged rollers allow this fully furnished adventure car to surpass any challenge off the beaten track in style.

Exterior Features of the Brabus 800
Modern production techniques and a matching black finish enhance the pickup’s striking, distinctive design, supported by maximum strength and long life. The external display of the new Brabus 800 Adventure XLP is a sight well pleasing to the eyes and fulfilling to anyone’s imagination. 

In conjunction with several brand-new features, such as a high-performance sport exhaust system with an athletic design entirely composed of carbon tailpipe fittings and a comprehensive rollout ambiance light, the latter creates the best acoustics everywhere, and an exclusive Stone Black Metallic color scheme highlights the iconic BRABUS 800 Adventure XLP’s external look. The pickup’s aggressive characteristics are highlighted with carbon fiber pieces applied all around the blacked-out car body for a particularly athletic appearance, underscored by meticulous attention to detail.

Along with the unique vehicle body, an off-roader features one of the most powerful engines in the world. The BRABUS Boost Extra sound device for the bypass valve was created by BRABUS to offer the modified eight-cylinder an even more exhilarating exhaust noise. With it, the turbocharged engine makes a loud blow-off noise whenever the motorist lifts off the lever. And obviously, the BRABUS high-performance vent also contributes to the fascination with sound.

In addition to sounding great, the two side-mounted exhaust pipes on both sides of the vehicle have an even better look, and all owe to an exposed carbon rim with built-in launch ambiance lighting that glows red when the inside lights are turned on. 

Although they are a little tacky, this is perhaps the only vehicle that would seem suitable to have “light-up” exhausts installed. However, the nozzles inside the bespoke exhaust are closed by an electrically operated sound management system with a “coming home” configuration that does not overly disturb the neighborhood. 
The brand-new BRABUS 800 Adventure XLP provides the greatest power transmission and efficiency engineering both aboard and off the highway. Through a nine-speed automatic transmission that can be switched manually or automatically at the driver’s discretion, the 1000 Nm of unwavering power is promptly conveyed to any territory. The BRABUS 800 XLP Adventure is among the world’s fastest rides, reaching a maximum speed electronically limited at 210 kilometers per hour.

Interior Features of the Brabus 800
The interior design is not left out from all the praise absorbed by the Brabus pickup, as the all-around luxurious theme still extends to this portion of the vehicle. Unparalleled attention to detail is featured in this outstanding interior design, which is both luxurious and individually created. Each one of these vehicles has the potential to be completely different and unique, with customers being able to specify both the design and the color of the interior furnishings. 
In a desire to maintain the original amount of room provided for just the rear passengers inside their precision cabin while offering a roomy back bed portion in this adventure series, BRABUS decided to essentially extend the initial SUV by 50 cm (20 inches). While the doors are opened, the running boards of the BRABUS 800 Adventure XLP lower and even contain LED lights to provide some illumination when parked in a darkened facility.

Combining attractive aluminum parts fabricated from sheet steel, including the paddle, brakes, and door lock clips, with carbon fiber accents on the steering wheel, the navigation system, center console, and door handles, as well as flexible BRABUS shift paddles, gives the new Brabus 800 Adventure XLP its remarkable and distinctive look. Despite the impressive added features, the hood air inlet, windshield, radiator grille engulf, wing mirrors, and the panel on the trunk lid, complete with the BRABUS engraved logo, are all made of the same lightweight construction fiber material. The central dashboard is decorated with a Panerai Luminor designer analog timepiece.

Customers can nearly choose any hue for the interior upholstery of any of the BRABUS 800 Adventure XLP vehicles. More than 206 distinct cockpit components, including trim panels, grips, controls, loudspeaker enclosures, and ventilation systems, all share a stunning Shadow Chrome wrap. The dashboard, outer airbag rim, armrest, headrest, and complete floor are all covered in leather. The middle sections of the cushions have perforations precisely implanted and coral embroidery.

The all-black cabin is just as dark and means inside as it is outside, and the high-quality furnishings make up for that. The foot wells and décor pieces also maintain the same layout, with carbon fiber and aluminum trim offering a light contrast.

Conclusion
A super truck is not purchased because it is inexpensive. There are certainly faster cars on the road, but they are probably not big trucks that skew the results. The Brabus 800 Adventure XLP’s capabilities are something we cannot contest. For a genuinely radical, one-of-a-kind vehicle, every aspect, including the building system, interior, and exterior, has been completely redone. This significant difference enables Brabus’ truck to traverse virtually any terrain and, based on this feature, qualifies it as the ideal option for the carriage of rescue tools and relief materials.

The All-New Electric Mercedes G-Class: Everything You Need to Know

Mercedes has been in the business of making high-quality vehicles for over a hundred years, and their all-new electric Mercedes G-Class is sure to be one of their most popular models yet. This SUV is designed for luxury and performance, with an all-electric powertrain that will make it one of the most powerful and stylish eco-friendly vehicles on the market. In this article, we will discuss everything we know about the Mercedes EQG so far.

As Mercedes put it themselves: An icon embraces the future. While their G-Wagon is one of the best luxury cars money can buy, it is not the most eco-friendly. It is actually one of the worst polluting personal vehicles on US soil. More and more car manufacturers are embracing the eco-friendly lifestyle by producing more and more electric vehicles, and Mercedes is no different.

The Mercedes EQG will be based on the company’s G500 platform, and it will be one of the first SUV-style vehicles in Mercedes’ new EQ line of all-electric vehicles. The new EQG will be a body-on-frame SUV, the same as the standard G-Wagon, sporting 22-inch wheels and an independent front suspension.

The EQG will also have a lithium-ion battery that uses a silicon anode chemistry which should give it plenty of range for such a large vehicle. Mercedes has also showcased that the EQG probably won’t have a spare tire in the rear tire rack of the car, but rather the rear tire rack will be used for storing the charging cable.

The EQG will have four electric motors, each powering its own separate tire giving the EQG the ability to do an interesting party trick. The EQG will be able to do a “tank turn,” meaning it will be able to turn on the spot. This powertrain will most likely produce more than 400 HP, but for now, we can only guess.
We might also know the name the new EQG will have since Mercedes has filed trademark applications in Europe for EQG 560 and EQG 580.

The Mercedes EQG will go into production in 2024, and it will hit the Mercedes dealerships sometime in 2025. The Mercedes EQG will also feature advanced driver assistance systems, such as lane-keeping assist and adaptive cruise control, amongst many other features.

So far, Mercedes has released few details about the pricing or availability of the EQG. However, given the high level of interest in all-electric vehicles and the popularity of the G-Wagon in the US market, we expect that the Mercedes EQG will cost more than $100.000.

We can also expect an AMG version of the EQG, which we are sure will be a lot of fun.

We’ll have to wait and see what the future holds for Mercedes and the EQ brand. But one thing is for sure: the company is committed to electrification, and we can expect many more all-electric vehicles from Mercedes in the years to come.

Awesome New Mercedes-AMG G63 4×4 Squared Revealed With Portal Axles

The portal axle’d G-Class 4×4 Squared is back, this time as an AMG.


Today is a blessed day, as Mercedes has unveiled the new G-Class 4×4 Squared on its G-specific “Private Lounge” website. While the previous-generation 4×4 Squared was based on the standard G550, the new model uses the even cooler Mercedes-AMG G63 as its basis, and crucially, it still features those sweet portal axles and an imposing stance.

The new 4×4 Squared’s chassis setup does differ from the last-gen model due to the current G-Class’ overhauled suspension setup. Like the previous 4×4 Squared the new one has portal axles at all four corners, but it also retains the standard G63’s independent front suspension. (The old G-Class had a solid front axle.) Mercedes says the new 4×4 Squared has 13.8 inches of ground clearance, an increase of 4.3 inches versus the standard G63 but 3.4 inches less than the G550 4×4 Squared. Similarly, the new model can wade through 35.8 inches of water, 9.4 inches more than the G63 but 3.6 inches less than the old Squared. Mercedes says it can climb grades of up to 45 degrees, too. Like the regular G63, the 4×4 Squared uses AMG’s twin-turbo 4.0-liter V8, but power has been boosted from 577 horsepower to 585 hp.

Despite the slightly worse on-paper figures, the new 4×4 Squared should still be the most capable G-Class yet, thanks to the current generation’s greatly improved chassis. Because the old G-Wagen was so primitive in terms of its suspension and axles the 4×4 Squared was actually much better to drive on-road; the new generation fixed many of those issues, but the 4×4 Squared will likely have an even comfier ride.

In terms of styling the G63 4×4 looks just as we expected. It features wider fender flares that are half finished in carbon fiber, a metal rear bumper added below the G’s regular bumper, and a carbon housing at the front of the roof that has a pair of integrated LED light bars. Unlike the previous-gen 4×4 Squared, the new model retains the G’s rear-mounted spare tire, but it gets a cool carbon-fiber carrier that leaves the tire exposed. The 22-inch wheels have a new design, and Mercedes offers an optional roof rack and rear ladder.

Further increasing the 4×4 Squared’s visual impact will be the extensive customization offered through Mercedes’ G Manufaktur program. At least 40 unique colors are available, including the awesome Green Hell Magno you see here, which first debuted on the AMG GT R. The 4×4 Squared is also available with a number of special interior color combinations, and the cargo area can be had with real wood flooring. One new feature is a digital rear-view mirror, which should greatly improve the G’s awful visibility, and there are more ambient lighting elements.

The G63 4×4 Squared will be a limited-run model, though Mercedes hasn’t announced how much it will cost or how many will be made. The last 4×4 Squared wasn’t limited in number, instead only being offered for about a year, and the new model is likely to be the same. If the G63 4×4 Squared goes on sale in the US — given the success of the original here, it should — expect a price tag of at least $250,000.

More official details on the 4×4 Squared should be announced later this year, but Mercedes describes it as being the last of its kind and is aimed at enthusiasts and collectors. Mercedes’ V8 engine isn’t long for this world, so the Squared will probably be one of the last G-Class models to have an internal combustion engine, and certainly one of the wildest. A plug-in hybrid is rumored to be on the way with over 800 horsepower as a final swan song before the fully electric EQG comes on the scene in 2024.
