The “iBusiness ” infotainment system is based on state-of-the-art components from Apple such as iPad, Mac mini, iPod touch and Apple TV, which are controlled and coordinated via the newly developed Brabus Remote app. In addition, the iBusiness system was designed to allow control of all functions of the COMAND system of the Mercedes S-Class from the rear seats using an iPad mini, how sick is that !!
The Brabus 850 iBusiness also include a sporty-elegant designer outfit for the body, forged Brabus Platinum Edition 21-inch wheels, a high-performance braking system with carbon-ceramic discs and an exquisite, two-tone all-leather interior.
The Brabus 850 6.0 Biturbo high-capacity engine is also new, based on the old 63 AMG but with an increased displacement to 5'912 cc's which took all of their engineers 35 years of knowledge and skill. New parts were developed and the block and cylinder heads were re worked too.
Increasing the eight cylinder bores to 99 millimeters allows the use of special forged pistons with modified surface contours to achieve an even more efficient combustion. They are connected by billet piston rods to the precision-balanced billet crankshaft with a stroke of 96 mm.
Two massive specially manufactured Brabus turbochargers with larger compressor unit and modified exhaust manifolds are then strapped on get the huge 265 hp increase over the standard engine. All exhaling through the metal catalysts with 75-millimeter-thick downpipes and the Brabus stainless-steel sport exhaust.
The Brabus installations on the inhale side is the newly designed Brabus 850 intake manifold for the eight-cylinder four-valve engine. It includes a larger air filter box with enlarged intake cross section, which gets its air supply via a special air duct in the hood. Also part of the package is the carbon-fiber intake pipe with larger diameter, which was positioned behind the new fascia directly exposed to the relative wind.
The whole thing is then re mapped on the Brabus high-tech engine test rigs and during road tests coordinate all high-performance components perfectly. This benefits not only a monster power increase, but also the outstanding throttle response and refinement of the engine across the entire rev range.
The performance data of the Brabus 850 6.0 Biturbo high-capacity engine is mind boggling: the V8 produces its peak power of 850 hp at a low 5,400 rpm.
That means: 0-100 km/h in 3.5 seconds and an electronically limited top speed of 350 km/h. The transmission either sorts the gears automatically or allows drivers to shift manually using the aluminum shift paddles on the steering wheel.
All this ends with an exhaust note that is just stunning. The Brabus sport exhaust system with controlled butterfly valve allows the driver at the push of a button on the steering wheel to decide either a discreet note or full blown mental !!
The Brabus iBusiness multimedia system incorporates an iPad mini tablet into the rear compartment between the two individual rear seats which has a docking station for hook up and recharge. This then hooks up to a Mac mini that serves as a mainframe. The Brabus programmers then developed the innovative Brabus Remote app to facilitate communication between the individual modules of the multimedia equipment.
A 15.2-inch color TFT display with an aspect ratio of 16:9 serves as the central monitor for the iPad minis and the other multimedia devices that are hooked up and is situatted in the headliner. At night the headliner can be illuminated by a multitude of fiber-optic lights to resemble a starry sky. You then have the standard screens in the back of the front head rests to watch TV.
High-speed USB 3.0 ports integrated into the rear compartment allow connecting additional devices such as a digital camera to the Mac mini. The Brabus 850 “iBusiness” uses state-of-the-art wireless technology to connect to the internet.
Built in iPod touch takes care of your in car tunes with 64 gigs of memory it offers enough storage capacity for more than 14,000 tunes. The sound is reproduced by the Burmester high-end audio system and sounds awesome !
