Taming the Beast: Brabus gives Mercedes-Benz G-Class electronically adjustable ride control
Filed under: Aftermarket, SUV, Technology, Mercedes-Benz, Luxury
Brabus has developed an electronically controlled suspension for the Mercedes G-Class, replacing the standard units with gas-pressure shocks with adjustable valves that go from “extra comfortable” to “sporty comfortable.” Actuation is handled via a knob installed just above the shifter, and swapping your comfort takes a scant five milliseconds. When we drove the G we were pleased with its balance of suspension compliance and firmness, but we wouldn’t be against sharpening it, even at Brabus prices. Follow the jump for the presser and see the difference some shocks make in the gallery of high-res photos below.
