900 Horsepower Doesn't Come Easy, Even in an AMG G63
If the XLP name sounds familiar to you it is because just recently Brabus announced two 800 Adventure XLP packages: one Superblack and one Superwhite. Both are based on the G63 AMG, both deliver 800 horsepower and 737 pound-feet of torque, and both are priced at way over €700,000.
Now the XLP name is back as part of a new 900 XLP "One of ten" package, still based on the G63 AMG, but this time the output goes up to an even more impressive 900 horsepower!
From the factory, the AMG G63 SUV is powered by a 4.0-liter, Biturbo V-8 engine that delivers 577 horsepower and 627 pound-feet of torque. In the previous 800 Adventure XLP packages, the output was increased to "only" 800 horsepower and 737 pound-feet of torque mainly because the displacement didn't change. But with the new 900 XLP packages, the displacement goes from 4.0-liters to 4.5-liters. A similar move to what we have seen in the recently launched Crawler. In fact, the latter, like the new 900 XLP has the same engine as the famous Rocket 900 package. After all these changes, the V-8 now delivers an impressive 900 horsepower at 6,200 RPM and 774 pound-feet of torque. As a result, the sprint from 0 to 60 mph goes down to 4.4 seconds, but top speed remains electronically limited to 130 mph.
