Even when stock, the Mercedes-Benz G500 4×4² is one seriously potent offroader thanks to its AMG-powered 422 PS twin-turbo V8 engine.

In Brabus guise, it’s putting down 500 PS (493 HP) and 710 Nm (523 lb-ft) of torque, enough to launch you to 100 km/h (62 mph) in 6.9 seconds. Top speed is electronically limited to 210 km/h (130 mph), but that’s only because of the large off-road tires.

Outside, you’ve got LED lights with chrome surrounds, black-tinted xenon headlamps, plus a carbon fiber hood and mirror covers. It’s big, aggressive in true Brabus style, which is even more obvious once you look inside.

When they first announced this car, the German tuner spoke about its fine leather interior, created from Mastik leather and Alcantara. However, the show car they brought to IAA 2015 was nowhere near as…colorful as this one.

You’re looking at an all-blue interior, from the seats to the dashboard, door panels, steering wheel, handbrake, armrest and even the floor mats. The bottom of the cabin however isn’t covered in leather (around the pedals), as we’ve seen on other G-Wagen versions modified by Brabus.

Aside from all that blue, the cabin also features carbon fiber, aluminum and piano black inserts, plus Alcantara for the headliner.
