Brabus has followed up the launch of its portal-axled, apocalypse-proof G63 ‘XL 800’ with this ‘XLP 800 Adventure’ pickup. If you’re wondering why, the simple answer is… why not?

It carries over the same cosmetic changes as its SUV brethren, including the beefed-up coilover suspension, more aggressive body kit and red glow side-exit exhausts, but the big difference is that custom flat bed out back. As a result, it loses the twin-pronged rear wing and rear door, but gains different side panels and a proper roof rack (with the option of a custom tent).

There’s additional strengthening beams at the back too, for… additional strength. And the cargo bay itself is lined with a ‘Soft Teak’ material nabbed from Brabus’ speedboat armada. Very dandy.

The change in body style has also forced Brabus to design a longer drive shaft that pushes the rear axle further back, which means the XLP’s overall length nudges past five metres. Yeah, it long. And likely terrifying to park.

AMG’s trusty twin-turbo V8 has also been cranked up to 789bhp/737lb ft, courtesy of a recalibrated power control unit and modified turbos. Identical outputs to the SUV, but the extra dimensions mean 0-62mph takes two-tenths longer (4.8s). Still scarily quick, mind.

You’ll also notice the sidesteps along the flanks, since this thing’s ground clearance is a frankly ridiculous 470mm. They’re crucial in getting you into the XLP’s very Sky Blue cabin, packed with quilted leather and joyous amounts of carbon.

Brabus wants £750k for the XLP, which is just over £200k more than the XL. Maybe ‘why’ is a valid question after all…
