That is also where the added torque comes in handy. It is why many G-Class owners opt for the turbodiesel version G 350 d. Engine tuning 'made by BRABUS' has been synonymous with tremendous performance in conjunction with flawless daily practicality and durability for more than 40 years. BRABUS vouches for this, as for all components and work, with the three-year or 100,000-kilometer / 60,000-mile BRABUS Tuning Warranty® (see BRABUS Tuning Warranty Terms and Conditions, updated July 2013). BRABUS exclusively uses hi-tech lubricants from technology partner Motul for this engine as well.
The power unit engineers developed the BRABUS ECO PowerXtra D35 module for the three-liter, straight-six turbodiesel engine with common-rail direct injection. The plug-and-play auxiliary control unit is adapted to the CAN bus of the G-Class.
The BRABUS performance upgrade increases the peak output of the G 350 d by 33 kW / 44 hp. At the same time, peak torque grows by 60 Nm (44 lb-ft). With 243 kW / 330 hp (326 bhp) at 4,400 rpm and 690 Nm (509 lb-ft) at a low 2,500 rpm, the all-wheel-drive car is moving through normal road traffic in even more superior fashion. In terrain, the BRABUS ADVENTURE climbs even the steepest slopes with 100 percent grade with rarely seen effortlessness.
The driving performance also is accordingly impressive for a diesel-powered off-roader weighing about 2.5 metric tons: From rest, it reaches a speed of 100 km/h (62 mph) in just 7.2 seconds. The top speed increases to 202 km/h (126 mph).
An all-stainless BRABUS sport exhaust system is of course also available for the G 350 d turbodiesel version. It features the unmistakable distinctive mark of BRABUS, two chrome tailpipes in the unusual side-pipe design on each side of the vehicle.
