Giancarlo Perlas May 20, 2018

The Mercedes-Maybach G650 Landaulet is currently the closest thing you’ve got if you are looking for an open-air riding experience with the modern G-Class. However, it is definitely very pricey and you can only enjoy an open-roof breath of fresh air with it if you are on the rear passenger seats. The Mercedes-Benz G500 Convertible from Brabus presents a better alternative for you though. The masterpiece in the photos here was made possible by Brabus.

As expected, the lighter and more agile SL showed its dominance against the bigger vehicle from the get-go. Next was a Mercedes-AMG S63 Coupe. Again, the SL63 left its Mercedes sibling because of its quick acceleration. However, the high-performance S-Class appeared to catch up at the end of the line. Last in the video was a Liberty Walk Nissan GTR R35. This… Continue Reading »
