At 219 mph, a Brabus iBusiness 2.0 is a world’s fastest Apple-obsessed bureau
Brabus does bonkers. So when it decided to cook up the ultimate iteration of its rolling ode to senior manager connectivity, it went all out – both underneath the metal cover as well as inside the leather-clad cabin – so lets work from a inside out.
The conversion of the rather than staid Mercedes-Benz S-Class into a Brabus “iBusiness 2.0″ begins in a boot, with a Mac Mini mounted in the leather-lined tray inside a trunk. The Mac connects up with the 15.2-inch TFT, 16:9 aspect comparative measure monitor which mechanically unfolds from a alcantara-coated superstar and can additionally be used as an auxiliary monitor for a – not one, but dual – iPad 2s mounted in a electronically deployed as well as adjustable law tables mounted at the back of the two front seats. The tables secure both a tablets and the Apple Bluetooth set of keys, and allow a Russian mobster in behind to discuss with his Swedish princess over Apple’s Facetime video conferencing system.
Naturally, all this tech isn’t any good without plain connectivity, as well as to which finish, Brabus has fitted a S with a WiFi network comprised of UMTS as well as HDSPA networking to wireless wire everything together. More impressive, a German tuner developed the custom app for the iPads which allows backseat passengers to carry out every aspect of Mercedes’ COMAND infotainment scheme. Jeeves will not be pleased…
When it’s time to holder up the tunes, the 64-gig Apple iPod Touch is mounted in a back core console as well as sends music to possibly a standard S-Class tune system or a pair of Sennheiser Noise Gard headphones, which can additionally be used to plumb in a single of the few hundred channels supposing by a wireless DVBT radio receiver.
And naturally, since this is Brabus, the package wouldn’t be finish but the critical sip of pavement-pummeling energy. The Brabus 800 iBusiness 2.0 lives up to the name with 800 horsepower and 1,047 pound-feet of torque pulled from a twin-turbocharged V12, shuttling a S to 60 mph in 3.9 seconds as well as on to an electronically-limited tip speed of 219 mph. If you’re reduction meddlesome in the power and some-more preoccupied by a tech, Brabus is charity the complete iBusiness 2.0 package for any S-Class – from the squalid S 350 to a aforementioned S 65 – though if you take your life on a highway seriously, because opt for anything less? Full sum in a press explosion after a mangle.
