Despite being known for its car optimizations — including the world’s most powerful 12-cylinder off-road vehicle and new Mercedes upgrades — Brabus has now made the move into boats. Working with Finnish motorboat manufacturer Axopar, the German company has produced the super-limited edition Brabus Shadow 800.
The vessel is influenced by Axopar’s 37 Sun Top model, with new technical and aesthetic features added. These additions include new outboard engines that give it a maximum speed above 50 knots, while materials including carbon fiber, fine leather and Alcantara make the boat as high-end as Brabus cars. The collaboration is limited to just 20 hand made editions, with each one set to cost around $495000 USD. If you can’t get your hands on the Shadow 800, Brabus has announced that this is “the start of a long-term relationship” between the two companies which will “re-master and create an entirely new genre of world class hyper-boats.”
The Mercedes-Maybach S-Class sedan is getting a new front grill and color combinations for 2019. After its 2015 return and updated sheet metal, electronics, and engines for 2018, the luxury vehicle recieves a new look for both the interior and exterior.
Its front grill was inspired by the Vision Mercedes-Maybach 6 concept unveiled at the Pebble Beach Concours d’Elegance in 2016. It also has new 20-inch multi-spoke wheels and a two-tone combination for exterior paint. Two interior color combinations, Armagnac Brown/Black and Savanna Beige/Black are available to choose from, with engine options also included.
Under the hood of the S560 will be a 463 horsepower 4.0-liter biturbo V8, and the S650 will be powered by a 621 horsepower, 6.0-liter, biturbo V12. The sedans will be unveiled officially in March at the 2018 Geneva Motor Show and will start at $168,600 USD and $198,700 USD respectively.
Mercedes-AMG has announced the latest G63 iteration. The off-road vehicle uses a new drive system while also utilizing the brand new AMG RIDE CONTROL suspension. There’s also an AMG-specific transmission mode, brand new interior with widescreen cockpit, and a 576 horsepower 4.0-liter V8 bi-turbo engine. It comes with a 9-speed automatic transmission, all-wheel drive and a new radiator grill as well as wheel placements that allow for up to 22-inch tires.
Tobias Moers, CEO of Mercedes-AMG GmBH said that “The new AMG G63 brings driving performance to the segment of unadulterated off-road vehicles in unexpected form. It was important for us to tie in with the original character on account of the cult status the G63 enjoys with our customers and fans.” The Mercedes-AMG G63 will be showcased at the Geneva Motor Show on March 6 before launching in stores on March 18.
