BLACK OPS 800

This is accompanied by subtle elements on the vehicle body and wheels painted red to match the interior. In addition, the black brake calipers are fitted with BRABUS logotypes likewise painted red. Moreover, the looks of the vehicle are characterized by the BRABUS WIDESTAR widebody, which not only lends the current G-Model a spectacular appearance, but also adds ten centimeters (4 in) in width to this exclusive off-roader.

These cross-spoke wheels are likewise painted high-gloss black to match their name and are fitted with a "BLACK PLATINUM" badge on the outer flange. The front wheels of the BRABUS BLACK OPS 800 special model were additionally given red pinstripes on the inside of two of the spokes and adorned with red BRABUS logotypes.

To create a subtle contrast to the black outer skin, the interior is dominated by dark gray leather combined with black elements as well as red cover stitching and piping.

In concert with the red backing underneath, they are another eye-catcher in the interior.
