If this Jeep actually comes through, for the first time it will feature fully independent front and rear suspension. Two powerplants would be available, both with best mileage out of it’s class: flexible-fuel 3.6L V6 with a whopping number of 280 horsepower for the entry class as well as a Hemi V8 with 360 horsepower.

… no there is no other info on this supposedly 2010 H2 SUT

BRABUS G V12 S Biturbo with 700 hp (690 bhp) / 515 kW and 1,320 Nm (973 lb-ft)

“The BRABUS SV12 S engine is based on the V12 Biturbo engine from the latest Mercedes S 600. Before being implanted in the engine bay of the G-Class, displacement of the three-valve engine is increased from 5.5 to 6.3 liters (336 to 384 cubic inches) using a special crankshaft with longer stroke, larger cylinders and larger bore. In addition, the cylinder heads are re-machined and fitted with special camshafts.”

“In the G-Class the BRABUS S V12 S displacement engine produces 700 hp (690 bhp) / 515 kW at 5,100 rpm. The turbocharged twelve-cylinder engine delivers its peak torque of 1,320 Nm (973 lb-ft) at 2,100 rpm. In the car, the peak torque is electronically limited to 1,100 Nm (811 lb-ft).”

“The BRABUS G V12 S Biturbo offers acceleration performance almost unimaginable for a true off-roader: Combined with a special five-speed automatic transmission and permanent four-wheel drive the exclusive SUV catapults itself from rest to 100 km/h (62 mph) in just 4.3 seconds. Top speed is limited electronically to 240 km/h (150 mph). Without the self-imposed limit the high-tech G-Class model could reach 260 km/h (163 mph).

This superior performance necessitates the use of custom-tailored BRABUS Monoblock wheels. Below the subtle fender flares is room for Monoblock light-alloy wheels with diameters between 20 and 22 inches, mounted with high-performance tires from Pirelli or YOKOHAMA. The forged BRABUS Monoblock VI 10.5Jx21 light-alloys are shod with size 295/40 R 21 tires front and back. BRABUS offers a wide selection of ten-inch wide wheels in the five different Monoblock VI, E, G, Q and S designs with a diameter of 22 inches.”

“For optimal handling BRABUS equips the special model G V12 S Biturbo with a comfortable custom suspension. To keep the incredible performance safely in check at all times the BRABUS high-performance brake system comes standard.

The body of the BRABUS G V12 S Biturbo is distinguished by sporty yet elegant aerodynamic-enhancement components. The BRABUS front apron with its LED daytime running lights below the main headlights lends the 4×4 an even more striking face. The rear is customized with the BRABUS rear bumper.

The BRABUS designers have developed special caps for the standard running boards of the Mercedes G-Class. They add some visual pizzazz to the G-Class and for added practicality feature integrated LED lights activated by the key fob or by opening a door. They illuminate the running boards in the dark.”

“The custom interior of the BRABUS G V12 S Biturbo is highly exclusive as well: It includes an ergonomically shaped sport steering wheel, a speedometer with 280-km/h scale (175 mph), stainless-steel scuff plates with illuminated BRABUS logo and a handcrafted BRABUS fully leather interior made from especially soft and breathable BRABUS Mastik leather.

Upon customer request BRABUS transforms the SUV into fully functional all-terrain office on wheels or can integrate a custom-tailored high-tech multimedia system with state-of-the-art communication technology, DVD changer, DVBT TV tuner, game console and eight-inch LCD screens in the back of the front headrests. The sound in the rear compartment is reproduced by infrared headphones.”

All I can say is that German Engineering is nuts and I like it a lot, but it doesn’t look like we will be seeing these in the US.

This car was built by N2A Motors (Stands for No Two Alike).  I came across this car and had to do some research on it.  In summary, it combines the front of a ‘57 Chevy, a side like a ‘58 & a rear like a ‘59 and thats where they derive the designation “789″.  Oh yeah, it also has the guts and sits on a Covette C6 chassis.  Interested, read below…

Exterior Detail

Combining design elements from different classic Chevrolet models, the 789 shows the world that you really can’t have enough of a good thing. The 789 looks instantly iconic because it is a melding of 1957, 1958 and 1959 Chevys. Who says you can’t have it all, time tested classic design and up-to-date performance and reliability. This vehicle is built on a 2005-2007 Corvette C6 chassis,virtually the same chassis that won its class at the 24 hours of LeMansfor the past few years and is known in the car world as the best value in a performance chassis ever produced.

Named for the three years represented in the overall design, the 789 has the “hooded eyes” and chrome grille bar of a ‘57 Bel Air, a mid-section and tri-toned interior that is reminiscent of a ‘58 Impala and the “bird in flight” rear tailfins of a’59. These three vehicles are all instantly recognizable classics celebrated by people around the world.

No matter how well you restore a ‘57 Chevy or how much you update a ‘59, you still have a 50 year old car with its outdated technology and safety features - not to mention reliability problems. The 789 solves that with the latest in GM engineering. Get in and go anywhere, drive 190 mph if it’s legal, and get 25 miles per gallon cruising on the highway.

The price of a turnkey 789 is $135,000, well equipped with all Corvette standard equipment including the 400 horsepower aluminum block V8 engine. In addition, each car includes a custom Borla exhaust system, PST high performance anti-sway bars and a $2,000 wheel/tire upgrade allowance. Any upgrade or modification can be done to your car at additoinal cost, from turbocharging to ceramic brakes and from a 1000 watt stereo to ostrich leather interior.

Interior Detail

Each 789 interior is based on the donor C6 Corvette and is tri-toned as standard equipment, just like the ‘58 Impala that inspired it. You have the choice of virtually any available commercial fabric or leather combination. Ostrich grain, alligator, rattan, brocade, or perforated leather.

For sure you’ll never get into the wrong car at Burger King or the Neiman Marcus parking lot.

I have to say that Roman got the full potential out of his Subaru Outback and I was a witness to one of the adventures.  Below are a few pics of the family wagon/offroad beast.  Note the balding tires and whopping 4″ of ground clearance, lol.

This silverado cruising down the road, I’ll have to assume, somewhere in the Midwest, happened to meet up with a ram in the most awkward of ways.  Not pretty for sure but serves as a reminder to everyone to be alert when driving and to keep an eye out…  you never know.

… I happened to come by this creature on this Ebay page. Not only this Land Cruiser is equipped with 38″ super swampers, Hella lights, roof rack, 12000lbs Warn winch and ARB bumper, it also happens to be equipped the a Corvette LS V8 Motor! Making at least 350hp I’m sure this would be a fun toy to play with.
