For those of you driving around in a Mercedes-Benz S600, you might want to check out what Brabus has done with one. Giving it the Brabus iBusiness treatment, the Mercedes S600 you see above is fully decked out with Apple gear including the iPad, Mac mini and iPod touch. Certainly most of us can just dig through the couch cushions and bling out our high-end luxury cars just like this, right? Let your inner Apple fanboy out.
According to Born Rich, this thing is really stacked:
The German super tuners have fitted the Mercedes S600 iBusiness with a 15.2-inch TFT display with 16:9 aspect ratio and USB 2.0 ports in the rear compartment to hook up peripherals to the Mac. You can connect to the internet via UMTS and HSDPA. The two iPads control the complete BRABUS multimedia system and the car’s standard S-Class COMAND system with all functions such as radio, navigation system and telephone.
When not in use, you can store the iPads in bespoke compartments in the car’s center console. The Mercedes S600 iBusiness is powered by a BRABUS SV12 R Biturbo 750 12-cylinder engine with a rated power output of 750 hp / 552 kW and a peak torque of 1,350 Nm (995 lb-ft). The car sprints from 0 to 100 km/h (62 mph) in 4.0 seconds and to 200 km/h (124 mph) in 11.9 seconds, with a top speed of 340 km/h (211 mph).
UMTS and HSDPA connectivity? Sweet. And if you thought the iPad was a niche product and very limited in its capabilities, the two control the car’s multimedia, S-Class COMAND and navigation system.
Brabus also does the interior including the leather and wood along with details like the steering wheel. If you’re looking to jump on one of these, act quickly. These things are built to order and could take a while. In the meantime, let your 63-inch TV retract into its slow, step out onto the deck of your yacht and enjoy some fresh air.
