Brabus Business Mercedes S Class
Tuner cars are put out with all sorts of themes. High power editions that boost stock cars to ridiculous levels of torque. Audio specials where the stereo components are more impressive than the mechanicals. Stunning cars that are mostly about looks. But an Apple car? That’s what Brabus just did. The Brabus iBusiness Mercedes Benz S Class appears to be aimed at Steve Job’s ego.
Oh, it’s still a Brabus product. A twin turbo V12 putting out 750 horsepower, routed through a five speed auto (you need your hands free for gadgets), a custom limited slip diff, etc. Brabus says it will do 211 mph, or zero to sixty in four seconds. It’s also luxurious, with custom leather and Alcantara.
But this thing’s reason for being, clearly, is to show off what Apple can do. It comes with a pair of built in iPads, multimedia screens in the back of the front seats, a 64GB iPod Touch, and a massive 15.2 inch Mac display hanging from the headliner. The iPads aren’t just typical iPads, they control everything from the sound system to the nav. It all routs through a single Mac Mini mounted in the trunk.
