Brabus. Remember them? The well-known anglers of horsepower from Germany with more than an unhealthy penchant for Mercedes? The tuning outfit obviously doesn"t think the new G63 quite pushes the boundaries of military chic far enough. Or that the 4.0-litre bi-turbo V8 with 577bhp and 627lb ft of torque was powerful enough. So, they"ve upped the ante on both fronts. Twice over. Instead of launching one juiced-up G-Class to solve this problem, it"s launched two: the Black Ops 800 and Shadow 800. Now, we don"t want to be pointing fingers, but someone in Brabus" naming department has obviously been playing a lot of Call of Duty and probably spends their weekend in camouflage trousers. Only ten examples of each will be produced, and both pack an uprated punch of 789bhp horsepower and 737 lb ft of torque. Still weighing as much as a small moon, both can see off the 0-62mph sprint in 4.1 seconds but wear an electronic speed limiter throttling them to 150mph.
