the power source is the 4.0-liter, twin-turbo V8 in brabus 800 PowerXtra + specification with an output of 588 kW / 800 hp (789 bhp) and 1,000 Nm (737 lb-ft) of torque. with it, the brabus 800 adventure XLP sprints from zero to 100 km/h (62 mph) in just 4.8 seconds. the top speed is electronically limited to 210 km/h (130 mph) due to the higher center of gravity and the 22-inch all-terrain tires. the show car features a rocket silver matte special paint finish and a burned oak brabus fine leather interior.

the brabus 800 Adventure XLP houses an optionally available special module on the pickup bed. it makes it possible for an electrically powered hi-tech drone (eVTOL = electric vertical takeoff and landing) to take off and land. this unmanned aircraft from german manufacturer wingcopter reaches speeds of up to 240 km/h (150 mph) and was designed specifically for delivering urgently needed aid supplies and special equipment to remote regions and in impassable terrain. the wingcopter is designed to carry loads of up to six kilograms (13 pounds) and can cover distances of up to 120 kilometers without swapping batteries – even in adverse weather conditions. in a wide range of emergencies, the wingcopter can bring food, equipment or medications autonomously and quickly to injured or lost people or can supply rescue teams with urgently needed extrication tools.
