2018 Mercedes-Benz G550 4x4²
BRABUS-Equipped • Designo Night Black Magno • Full Satin PPF • A True Halo G-Class
 
We are proud to present an exceptional 2018 Mercedes-Benz G550 4x4² — a vehicle that represents one of the most extreme and technically fascinating factory evolutions of the G-Class platform.
 
Finished in designo Night Black Magno, Mercedes-Benz’s factory matte black, this example is further protected by a full-body satin paint protection film — a significant and costly upgrade that preserves the integrity of the matte finish while protecting the expansive body surfaces from road wear. On a vehicle of this scale, comprehensive PPF is not merely cosmetic — it is a serious preservation measure.
 
Already produced in limited numbers, this 4x4² is elevated further with BRABUS elements, extensive carbon fiber detailing, and a fully equipped luxury specification.
 
Engineering Beyond the Standard G-Class
 
The 4x4² is not a lifted G550. It is fundamentally re-engineered.
Unlike the standard G-Class, the 4x4² features portal axles, where geared hubs at each wheel raise the axle centerline dramatically above the wheel center. This engineering solution provides approximately 17.7 inches of ground clearancewhile maintaining proper suspension geometry and durability.
 
Additional mechanical distinctions include:
 
Significantly widened track width
Reinforced heavy-duty suspension architecture
Dual spring-and-damper (twin shock) setup at each corner
Low-range transfer case
Three fully locking differentials (front, center, rear)
Each differential can be independently engaged, allowing true mechanical torque distribution across all four wheels — a system derived from the G-Class’s military heritage.
 
Capability figures are extraordinary:
 
Approx. 52° approach angle
Approx. 54° departure angle
Approx. 47° breakover angle
Approx. 39-inch water fording depth
 
This is one of the most capable factory-built off-road vehicles of the modern era, yet it remains composed and refined at highway speeds.
 
Power & Drivetrain
 
At its core lies Mercedes-Benz’s hand-assembled 4.0-liter twin-turbocharged V8, delivering:
 
416 horsepower
450 lb-ft of torque
 
Paired with a 7-speed automatic transmission and permanent 4MATIC all-wheel drive, the 4x4² delivers strong, immediate torque and confident acceleration despite its commanding proportions.
 
The presence is amplified by the factory side-mounted exhaust system featuring dual pipes on each side — an unmistakable 4x4² signature that enhances both visual drama and acoustic character.
 
BRABUS & Carbon Fiber Specification
 
This example benefits from carefully selected enhancements that complement its halo status:
 
BRABUS badging
4x4² wheels with BRABUS center caps
Roof-mounted auxiliary lighting array (white and yellow configuration)
Carbon fiber fender extensions
Carbon fiber exterior accents
Carbon fiber interior package
 
The contrast between exposed carbon fiber and Night Black Magno produces a dramatic yet cohesive aesthetic, reinforcing the vehicle’s widened stance and mechanical presence.
 
Interior – Performance Luxury Without Compromise
 
The cabin balances rugged engineering with full luxury execution.
 
Black quilted Alcantara seats
Alcantara headliner
Carbon fiber interior trim
Heated and ventilated front seats
Heated rear seats
Multi-contour power seats with memory
COMAND infotainment system with navigation
Surround-view camera system
Blind-spot monitoring
Parking sensors
Harman Kardon premium surround sound system
Ambient interior lighting
Dual-zone automatic climate control
 
Rear passengers benefit from heated seating, ensuring complete comfort for all occupants. The Harman Kardon audio system delivers rich, immersive sound throughout the Alcantara-lined cabin, complementing the refined yet performance-focused atmosphere.
 
This is a fully specified example, representing the highest level of factory equipment available for the G550 4x4².
 
Heritage & Halo Status
 
Since 1979, the G-Class has stood as a symbol of durability and mechanical integrity, originally engineered for military use before evolving into a global luxury icon. The 4x4² represents one of the boldest factory interpretations of that legacy — engineered to demonstrate the outer limits of the G platform.
 
Mechanically distinct from a standard G550 and produced in limited numbers, the 4x4² occupies a rare position within the G-Class hierarchy. With portal axles, triple locking differentials, side-exit dual exhaust, BRABUS enhancements, carbon fiber detailing, auxiliary lighting, and full-body satin PPF, this example rises beyond exclusivity — it becomes a statement piece.
 
For the discerning collector or enthusiast seeking a true halo-specification G-Class, this 2018 G550 4x4² represents an exceptional opportunity.
