The Brabus Unimog U500 Black Edition is designed as a luxury
recreation and utility vehicle for the extremley wealthy. Both
the interior and exterior of the Mercedes U 500 Unimog have
been extensivley revised to make the Black Edition. Additions
include a new front bumper, a polished stainless steel rollover
bar, chrome exhaust pipes, and an interior trimmed with carbon-fibre
and leather.
To keep the occupants happy while on the move the Unimog U500
Black Edition's interior features a 6.5" TV screen for
DVD navigation, and a CD changer coupled to a top notch sound
system. For comfort the passengers can adjust their air conditioning
settings seperatley.

to be made manually or automatically. Switching between the
