Brabus Launches iBusiness Mercedes SV12 R

Using Apple Multimedia components, the German tuners at Brabus have managed to turn the Mercedes S-Klasse into a true office on wheels. Dubbed iBusiness, the car has also received various performance upgrades, including a SV12 R Biturbo 750 12-cylinder engine with a rated power output of 750 hp and 1,350 Nm of torque.

The iBusiness is capable of sprinting from naught to sixty in 4.2 seconds and keep on accelerating until reaching an electronically limited top speed of 211 mph (340 km/h).

Two iPads in the rear compartment that also control all functions of the S-Klasse COMAND system, and USB 2.0 ports integrated into the rear compartment that allow connecting various peripherals to the Mac such as a webcam for video conferencing or a digital camera, are among the highlights of the iBusiness.

The centerpiece of the system, however, is an ultra-small Mac minicomputer safely housed under the rear shelf in an electrically deployed drawer whose design mirrors the design of the computer itself.

The table tops located at the rear are covered with the same exclusive leather as the entire interior and are bordered by high-gloss aluminum frames. The tables are electrically deployed from special Brabus seatback consoles and are infinitely adjustable to any angle. They offer ample space for perusing documents, the Apple mouse and keyboard.

A special BRABUS app will be available shortly for iPad and iPhone. The music comes from a 64GB Apple iPod touch that can store more than 14,000 songs. The sound is reproduced either by the sound system of the S-Klasse or by Sennheiser Noise Gard headphones.
