As one of the top three highest-paid athletes in 2021, you'd expect Cristiano Ronaldo to show off a new "toy" every other month, or at the very least show off much of his current collection. However, this is not the case with the globally renowned footballer.
While others frequently display their favorite cars, yachts, and aircraft in their social media postings, Ronaldo prefers to keep things to himself. Generally, this is why catching a peek of his bespoke Brabus G-wagon is such a delight. Before the Series A season, Ronaldo posed for a rare snapshot with his prized Brabus, which he received as a birthday present in February of last year.
Even at the time, Ronaldo didn't want to make a big deal out of his 35th birthday, but it was his girlfriend, Georgina Rodriguez, who caught the event on social media when she presented the birthday kid with a ferocious-looking, customized Mercedes G-Class Brabus SUV. It was even wrapped in the usual red ribbon, which, in our opinion, is not a good appearance for a self-respecting Brabus.
While exiting a dinner date with Rodriguez in Italy, a rare Brabus G V12 900 Mercedes waited outside, replete with a big red bow on the bonnet.
When we say rare, we mean that Ronaldo's luxury SUV is one of only ten produced and costs $875,000. Even his buddies were waiting for him next to the automobile, making it rain confetti.
The Amazing Features Of Cristiano Ronaldo's Brabus G-Wagon
Brabus, headquartered in Bottrop, Germany, was formed in 1977 by Bodo Buschmann and Klaus Brackmann and has since ranked first in upgrading automobiles to unexpected new heights while delighting clients. Brabus specializes in the specific refining of Mercedes-Benz and innovative vehicles and the production of bespoke high-performance cars. Buyers can either bring their cars to Brabus for a substantial upgrade, or Brabus will acquire the car from Mercedes and reconstruct it to the customer's specifications.
This particular Brabus is powered by a Mercedes V12 engine with two massive turbochargers mounted on a W463 G Wagen. The '900' family's mechanical features include a redesigned crank and bigger cylinder bores with forged pistons and rods, larger turbos, free-flowing cats, and a unique exhaust. The 900 hp output of this Brabus SUV is astounding. That's correct; 900 horses are ready under the throttle. This unusual SUV can accelerate from 0 to 60 mph in 3.8 seconds and peak out at 174 mph.
Ronaldo's Brabus G-Wagon Comes With Astounding Power
BRABUS is back with the world's most powerful twelve-cylinder off-roader. The global debut of the BRABUS G V12 900 "one of ten" takes place at the IAA 2019 in Frankfurt am Main. The development experts put a twin-turbo V12 high-performance engine into the Mercedes G-Class body of the BRABUS many times, fifteen years after the original BRABUS G V12 debuted at the 2004 Geneva Motor Show. This time, though, it was added to the current W 463A model series.
Obviously, the exterior of the Brabus 900 receives a Widestar body package, which makes the SUV 10-centimeters wider and allows for the fitting of wheels up to 24-inches and 355 rear tires.
The 6.3-liter V8 engine produces 900 hp and 1,106 lb-ft of torque and is coupled to a nine-speed automated transmission and all-wheel drive. It offers the new supercar exceptional road performance for an off-roader weighing no less than 5,860 lbs. The BRABUS G V12 900 "one of ten" is the fastest road automobile of this model series ever manufactured, with a zero to 62 mph sprint time of under 3.8 seconds and an electronically restricted peak speed of 174 mph.
The Brabus 800 Widestar's royal road presence is only outweighed by what it has to offer on the interior. It rides on massive 23-inch hi-tech forged wheels. Exclusive quality leather materials on the seats and dash scream grandeur, while a mile-long list of amenities - luxury and connection - drowns out the noise of the outside world.
An adequate air supply for the engine is equally vital. The BRABUS 900 intake module was created for that purpose by the power unit engineers at BRABUS. The redesigned intake manifold features a bigger cross-section air filter box and unique filters, and "Gold Heat Reflection" sheathing to reduce temperatures.
The BRABUS fasciae at the front and back transition into the WIDESTAR fenders. The front element is equipped with huge air intakes to give fresh air to the engine, radiators, and brakes. The supercar's stylish skid plate is constructed of bare carbon.
The auxiliary LED lights under the side air intakes, which are also constructed of bare carbon on the display car, add to the dynamic appearance while also optimizing active safety.
A carbon attachment with two integrated power bulges adds a dramatic boost to the hood. This also makes room for the big V12. The BRABUS Branding Package, which includes an illuminated BRABUS emblem for the radiator grille with carbon surround and extra badges on the off-back roader's end and sides, exposes the origins of this one-of-a-kind all-wheel-drive supercar.
The Dynamics Of The Footballer's Brabus G-Wagon
Furthermore, the BRABUS G V12 900 "ONE OF TEN" is fitted with the unique Ride Control Coilover suspension, whose damping is tuned especially to the axle loads with the twelve-cylinder engine, for a perfect mix of outstanding ride quality and safe, dynamic handling. It is linked to the standard-fit DYNAMIC SELECT suspension controller in the cockpit, which allows for different suspension, powertrain, steering, and assistance system settings. Furthermore, the suspension's ride height may be changed.
The BRABUS aluminum pedals and door-lock pins, as well as the naked-carbon scuff plates with illuminated BRABUS logo, are also eye-catching in the cockpit.
Finally, to improve access to the back, BRABUS devised a modification that allows the rear doors to be opened wider, practically at a 90-degree angle to the vehicle body. This allows even tall people to enter and exit the vehicle more easily.
