BRABUS 800 CABRIO - based on Mercedes-AMG G 63 (W 465)

BRABUS 800 CABRIO. THE OPEN-AIR ICON.

24.11.2025 - What makes an icon? The courage to be different. The freedom to design without compromise, to reimagine form and function on one’s own terms. Those who live this mindset are the heart and soul of BRABUS. Freedom is their fuel. Individuality is their language. And this is their Masterpiece.

The conversion of the BRABUS 800 into a Masterpiece convertible is based on state-of-the-art CAD and simulation technology and utilizes high-strength steel to achieve torsional rigidity on the level of the closed G 63. From the outset, preserving the iconic G-Class silhouette was a top priority. To accomplish this, our engineers, technicians and designers developed a highly complex soft-top system consisting of over 500 custom-made components, developed and tested in full OEM quality.

The two-piece soft top opens or closes at the push of a button in just 20 seconds and features a heated safety-glass rear window. A world first, the integrated carbon-fiber surface bow in the front roof segment ensures a stable roof contour and reduced wind noise even at high speeds. At the rear, the soft top transitions cleanly into the body-integrated “C-BOW” steel roll bar, finished with exposed-carbon elements. The rear roof section folds automatically behind the rear seats.

The open-top Masterpiece is driven by a 4.0-liter high-performance V8 producing a peak output of 588 kW / 800 hp and a maximum torque of 1,000 Nm (737 lb-ft). Power is transmitted to all four wheels via a SPEEDSHIFT TCT nine-speed transmission, which can be shifted either automatically or manually via the BRABUS carbon shift paddles at the steering wheel. 

The convertible accelerates from a standing start to 100 km/h (62 mph) in just 4.0 seconds. The top speed is electronically limited to 240 km/h (149 mph). High-performance lubricants for the engine and drivetrain are supplied by BRABUS technology partner MOTUL.

The BRABUS 800 CABRIO not only impresses visually with its transformation into one of the most exclusive convertibles in the world: the combination of the BRABUS WIDESTAR widebody design and the 24-inch Monoblock ZM “PLATINUM EDITION” forged wheels delivers an instant 1-Second-Wow effect. Manufactured using advanced forging and CNC machining technology, the wheels feature a sophisticated black disc-style design and are fitted in sizes 10Jx24 at the front and 12Jx24 at the rear, paired with specially developed Hankook Ventus Ventus S1 evo ZX high-performance tires measuring 295/30 ZR 24 and 345/25 ZR 24.

Inside, the BRABUS 800 CABRIO features a bespoke BRABUS Masterpiece interior designed exclusively for this model. As a contrast to the metallic black exterior, the cabin is trimmed in the finest BRABUS “Oxford Sand” and “Cairos Brown” leathers, meticulously handcrafted in the BRABUS upholstery shop. For maximum comfort while driving open-top, the headrests feature integrated Airscarf systems that direct warm air around the occupants’ heads and necks.
