If you’ve ever wanted a G-Class with a bed, Brabus has a solution, and it’s priced like a house. The tuner’s new P 900 Rocket Edition converts a Mercedes G 63 into a pickup with 888 horsepower. Brabus builds only ten, and the pictured example costs €711,718 before German VAT, or about $800,000. It follows Brabus’ earlier G 63 pickup conversions, but this one trades off-road gear for speed.

What You’re Paying For
According to Brabus’ spec sheet, the twin-turbo V8 is bored out to about 4.5 liters, with forged pistons, a billet crankshaft, and larger turbos, making 888 hp and 922 lb-ft of torque. Torque is electronically capped at 774 lb-ft to protect the transmission. Brabus claims 0-62 mph in 3.7 seconds, and duPont Registry reports top speed is limited to 149 mph. Coilovers drop the truck by 1.8 inches, and it rides on 24-inch wheels.

The Truck Part
Behind the rear seats is a new steel bulkhead with a heated rear window. The bed has a metal floor and tailgate, carbon-fiber side panels and, according to duPont Registry, soft-teak decking and two lockable waterproof storage boxes. A matte black sports bar sits over the bed. Brabus has built plenty of ultra-luxury G-Wagens, and this one adds a cargo bed. Payload and towing numbers weren’t given, which is the question any real truck buyer would ask.

Why It’s Not For The Rest Of Us
Inside, there’s leather and Alcantara with red quilted stitching and carbon trim. Every car is built to order, and prices climb with personalization. At $800,000, this is more collectible than commuter. If you want a Brabus G-Class you can actually buy, the used market is a more realistic route.
