Bottrop, Germany -
German based turner company Brabus has just released its newest package
for the Mercedes-Benz S-Class, the Brabus 800 iBusiness 2.0 is all
business, with full iPad 2 integration among its many features.
Powering the Mercedes-Benz S-Class
is a twin-turbocharged V12 that delivers 588 kW of power and 1100Nm of
torque. With this much power the Brabus Mercedes-Benz S-Class can
accelerate from zero to 100km/h in 3.9 seconds, before hitting a top
speed of 350km/h (electronically limited).
While the performance is enough to
get anyone excited, the real magic happens inside the vehicle. The
mobile-office functions are amazing to say the least, thanks to the
integration of up to two iPads in the rear compartment, as well as an
app developed by Brabus specifically for the iBusiness 2.0. That app
integrates the iPad into the car's electronics system, enabling the
iPad to control all functions of the S-Class COMAND system from the
rear seats, including entertainment, navigation and mobile
communications.
With wireless Internet access, the
iBusiness 2.0 also is perfect for mobile videoconferencing, says Brabus.
Peripherals, from a printer to a
digital camera, can be connected to the multimedia system via
high-speed USB ports in the rear compartment. In addition, a 15-inch
TFT display drops down from the ceiling to function as an auxiliary
monitor.
A custom-designed Brabus table,
framed in aluminum and covered in leather, holds the iPad and wireless
keyboard, both of which can be securely stowed in the rear console. An
integrated docking station recharges the batteries.
Digital music is loaded into
another Apple device, a 64GB iPod Touch, while a Mini Mac in the trunk
serves as a central computer for the network.
Your mobile office wouldn't be
complete without some of the usual Brabus amenities, including a
two-tone, all-leather cockpit with a pair of individually powered rear
seats, a power-operated privacy curtain and an ambient interior
lighting system that changes colors.
Pricing information wasn't
released, but the iBusiness package can be installed on any S-Class
ranging from the S350 to the S65 AMG.
