Mercedes-Benz S-Class Brabus 800 iBusiness 2.0 :  First Look

Jay Williams - 24/March/2011

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.
