Is This The World's First SUV Supercar?

The Mercedes G65 has always been one of the most capable off-road vehicles out there, and over the years the AMG versions have typically been equally magnificent in terms of snapping your neck at the slightest twitch of the accelerator. Somehow though, the insane humans behind Brabus tuning keep finding ways to make AMG look like the stock option. They've just put the finishing touches on their do-everything G65 800 iBusiness, and the result is an insanely fast, ultra luxurious ride that represents the best possible form of lunacy.

Inside, it's more thoroughly wrapped in supple leather than most cows. Even the floorboard is leather-encased in the off-chance your bare ankle were to come into contact with it.

Pretty much the only things that aren't leather are electronic. Swivel tables hold a keyboard for passengers who wish to access the on-board Mac mini, while an iPod touch controls everything from what you're watching to the brightness of the overhead light. There's also an iPad Mini for additional viewing options, and a 15.7 inch Apple TV swings down from the ceiling — wrapped in leather and Alcantara, of course.

Those fortunate enough, however, to not be resigned to the back seat can take advantage of the iBusiness's true showstopper, not-so-hidden beneath the carbon fiber hood bulge.

It's a monstrous, twin turbocharged V12 putting out an even 800 hp and over 1,000 pounds feet of torque. Those numbers aren't bad for, say, a million dollar supercar, but on a thoroughly luxurious SUV in which you can cross the Sahara without breaking a sweat, they're absolutely glorious.

The side exit exhaust makes sure that any car next to you can hear your V12 roar. Since they're nearly straight pipes, that could possibly the last thing they'll ever hear, so Brabus fitted them with electronic valves to keep the sound in check. It's a feature they call "Coming Home" mode, and it's exactly the sort of thing that would've come in handy whenever you borrowed your dad's car back in high school.

Pricing hasn't been released yet, but you can safely assume it will cost somewhere in the half million dollar range.
