Brabus has turned the current Mercedes-AMG G 63 into a limited-run performance pickup. The P 900 Rocket Edition combines a coachbuilt cargo bed with a 4.5-litre twin-turbo V8 rated at 662 kW, or 900 hp, and 1,250 Nm. Brabus says production will be limited to ten vehicles worldwide.
A pickup conversion rather than a factory G-Class variant
The P 900 is based on the current W 465-series Mercedes-AMG G 63, but it is not a simple accessories package. Brabus reworks the rear structure and adds a dedicated pickup module behind the four-door cabin. The cargo bed has carbon-fibre side panels, a SoftTeak floor and a storage compartment on its right-hand side.
That distinction matters when the vehicle is compared with a regular G 63. Mercedes does not sell this body style as a normal production version of the AMG model. The Brabus vehicle is a coachbuilt conversion, produced in a very small series and configured with bespoke exterior and interior parts.
The photos released by Brabus show a short bed, a roll bar behind the cabin and wide rear bodywork. The result is visually closer to a high-performance showpiece than to a work truck. Its cargo area adds a practical function, but the 24-inch wheels, low-profile tyres and carbon-fibre body parts make clear that road performance and presentation are central to the project.
A 4.5-litre Rocket 900 V8
Brabus increases the displacement of the AMG-derived V8 to 4.5 litres and fits specially developed turbochargers. The official output is 662 kW, equivalent to 900 hp, while maximum torque is listed at 1,250 Nm. A nine-speed automatic transmission sends the output through permanent all-wheel drive.
The claimed 0–100 km/h time is 3.7 seconds. Brabus electronically limits the top speed to 240 km/h for this P 900 generation. Those figures come from the tuner and are not Carboratory test results. Actual performance can vary with the final equipment, mass, wheel and tyre combination and operating conditions.
The stainless-steel exhaust uses active valves and carbon-fibre tailpipe trims. Brabus describes selectable sound settings, allowing the V8 to be quieter in a restrained mode or more pronounced when the driver chooses a sportier setting. The exhaust is therefore part of both the powertrain conversion and the visual identity of the pickup.
The company also adds its Rocket Launch ambience light to the exterior. It is a design feature rather than a performance measurement, but it illustrates how far the conversion extends beyond software calibration or a larger turbocharger. The body, lighting, exhaust and cabin are all part of one limited-production specification.
24-inch wheels and a widebody body
The P 900 Rocket Edition uses forged 24-inch Brabus Monoblock II EVO Platinum Edition wheels. The front wheels measure 10Jx24 and use 295/30 ZR 24 tyres. At the rear, the 12Jx24 wheels are paired with 345/25 ZR 24 tyres.
These dimensions are unusual for an off-road vehicle. The short tyre sidewalls and very wide rear section are better suited to high-speed road use and visual impact than to the pressures and impacts associated with difficult terrain. The permanent all-wheel-drive system remains, but the wheel and tyre specification clearly points to a road-focused interpretation of the G-Class.
The exterior uses Brabus's Rocket Edition Widestar treatment, with exposed carbon-fibre inserts, wider arches and a PowerView bonnet that gives a view of the V8 hardware. Red accents appear in the grille area and around the front lighting. A roll bar sits behind the cabin, while the pickup bed receives carbon side walls and a finished loading surface.
Hand-built Masterpiece interior
Inside, Brabus installs a hand-built Masterpiece cabin with black leather and Alcantara. Red stitching, piping and Rocket-themed details provide the contrast, while exposed carbon fibre is used on the dashboard, centre console and door panels.
The illuminated entry panels carry Brabus branding. Carbon-fibre pedal pads and red-anodised door-lock pins continue the same theme. LED indicators integrated into the cockpit change colour from green to yellow and red as engine speed rises, giving a visual shift prompt when the automatic gearbox is operated manually.
The vehicle also has a Digital Product Passport connected to Aura Private Blockchain. Brabus says the ownership and authenticity record can be accessed through NFC hardware embedded in a specification plate on the left side of the cargo bed. It is presented as a way to verify the individual vehicle and maintain a permanent digital record.
Consumption, emissions and price information
Brabus lists a combined WLTP fuel consumption of 17.3 litres per 100 kilometres and combined CO2 emissions of 393 grams per kilometre. The stated CO2 class is G. These are manufacturer figures for a 900 hp, high-bodied V8 pickup, not independent economy results.
The official material consulted does not provide one final euro price for every possible configuration. The paint, leather, carbon parts and customer-selected equipment can affect the final specification. Brabus directs interested buyers to an enquiry process, while the production limit remains ten vehicles worldwide.
The P 900 therefore sits between several familiar categories. It has a cargo bed, but it is not positioned as an ordinary utility pickup. It is based on the G 63, but it is not a Mercedes-AMG factory variant. And although its claimed acceleration is in supercar territory, the vehicle retains the tall, heavy and upright proportions that define the G-Class.
