When it was launched at the 2013 Frankfurt Motor Show, the new Brabus iBusiness package was put into the most powerful Brabus S-Class to date.
With a 5.9-liter, twin-turbocharged V8 that has an intake engulfed in gold foil for a lower air temperature, the Brabus iBusiness presented in Frankfurt developed no less than 850 hp and an electronically-limited torque of 1150 Nm (848 lb ft).

It was a regular wolf in sheep's clothing that could go from naught to 100 km/h (62 mph) in just 3.5 seconds while you could simply check your email in one of the two massaging business-class seats.

Apparently, the Bottrop nutters decided to showcase their Apple-infused iBusiness package in another S-Class W222 for the upcoming Essen Motor Show.

This time based on the “mortal” S 500 instead of the S 63 AMG 4Matic, the modifications under the hood are quite a bit lower.

There are no oversized turbochargers or gold-foiled air intakes here, just a Brabus B50-520 plug-and-play ECU that upgrades the 4.7-liter twin-turbocharged V8 to deliver 521 hp instead of “just” 455 hp, while the torque is increased from 700 Nm (516 lb ft) to an S 63 AMG-beating 820 Nm (605 lb ft). The model depicted will be brought to the 2013 Essen Motor Show.
