The Brabus iBusiness - The S Class Limo.




Brabus has updated its iBusiness Mercedes S-class-based saloon to incorporate the second generation of Apple’s iPad.
Up to two of the slim-line tablet computers can be integrated into the rear compartment of the bespoke limo and they are wirelessly connected to a Mini Mac hidden in a specially built draw in the rear parcel shelf. A 64GB iPod Touch can also be specified to store over 14,000 songs.


Brabus has developed its own iPad app for the iBusiness. It allows rear seat passengers to control all functions of the Mercedes infotainment system, such as the radio, navigation and telephone. DVDs and digital television can be viewed from an electrically deployed 15in widescreen, which is integrated into the leather headliner, or from the two monitors built into the front seat headrests.

Of more interest to us at AutomobloG, however, is the engine, and in typical Brabus style it’s an absolute monster. The iBusiness is powered by a 6.0-litre twin-turbo V12. This massive output is enough to send the two-ton-plus Brabus from 0-100km in 3.9sec . What that feels like from the back seat, we daren’t imagine.
