  • Meet the Brabus 800 Adventure XLP, an 800-horsepower pickup truck based on the Mercedes-AMG G-Wagen.
  • It's longer, wider, and more powerful than the standard AMG G 63, and Brabus will show it off at the Geneva International Motor Show next month.
  • Options include a bed-mounted drone that can reach speeds of up to 150 mph.
  • The first edition of the truck will reportedly cost around $626,000 at current exchange rates. If you want something truly one of a kind, you can purchase the display car for roughly $770,000.

Tuning company Brabus - whose specialty is Mercedes-Benz customization and whose creations include a hot-rodded Smart Car and an 900-horsepower Maybach - is at it again.

This week, the company announced a bonkers new pickup truck based on the already-excessive Mercedes-AMG G 63, and it makes some of the tuner's previous projects look modest in comparison.

The truck, dubbed the "800 Adventure XLP," packs a twin-turbocharged 4.0-liter V8 that's been tuned to generate a claimed 800 horsepower and 737 pound-feet of torque, according to Brabus. That's creeping toward what the 840-horspower Dodge Challenger SRT Demon, known as a street-legal dragster, can make, and Brabus claims the behemoth races to 62 mph in less than five seconds.

Plus, the truck is dripping in carbon fiber and can be optioned with a drone landing pad - drone included - out back.
