Nothing says "happy birthday" like 700 horsepower and nearly 1000 lb-ft of torque. That's what Brabus figures, at least, and we're with them. To mark the 30th anniversary (http://www.autoblog.com/2009/01/20/mercedes-benz-gelandewagen-celebrating-30-years/) of the indomitable Mercedes-Benz Geländewagen, Brabus presented the G V12 S Biturbo (http://www.autoblog.com/2009/02/19/aint-nothin-but-a-g-thang-brabus-to-show-twin-turbo-v12-gelan/) here at the Geneva Motor Show (http://www.autoblog.com/category/Geneva-Motor-Show/), and it could hardly be missed in the middle of the Palexpo show floor. The tuned twin-turbo 6.3-liter V12 sits in a tricked out G-Wagen decked out in black with LED headlamps, custom bodywork, black leather everything, a 163-mph top end and a physics-defying 4.3-second spring to 60 mph. At nearly half a million on the sticker, you're not likely to see one parked at the local mini mall - unless you live in car-bonkers Abu Dhabi where a supposedly McLaren-powered G-Wagen (http://www.autoblog.com/2008/02/28/mclaren-powered-mercedes-g-wagon-spotted-guess-where/) was spotted last year - so better check it out in the galleries below.
