This $626,000 Mercedes-based pickup truck packs 800 horsepower and has its own drone landing pad
Brabus
Brabus, the German tuner known for building out excessive, high-performance versions of Mercedes-Benz models, is bringing a new, over-the-top creation to the Geneva International Motor Show next month.
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.
