  3. Brabus Unveils New Boat With Two V8 Engines And 900 HP

It’s not every day that you come across a boat built by a tuning company.

The Brabus brand is well known for tuning various Mercedes-Benz and AMG products. It’s arguably best known for fiddling with the boxy Mercedes-AMG G65 SUV, but pretty much any Merc-made product is a target for the tuner. Having a respectable name in the car tuning world clearly wasn’t enough for the brand though, and it has recently ventured into motorcycles and fancy luxury watches. But did you know that Brabus has an appreciation of marine machines too? Celebrating its world premiere this week was the Brabus Shadow 900 Deep Blue Signature Edition, a high-end day boat that Brabus promises will provide the power and handling you’ve come to expect from the tuner.

The special edition is powered by two Mercury Marine 450R 4.6-liter V8 racing engines that together produce 900 horsepower and allow a top speed of over 60 knots (around 69 mph). When it comes time to relax, the boat can be had with a lounge area package that adds sofa seats. In addition, “customers can choose between a fully open aft option, an extensive wet bar package, a multi-storage package for the storage of adventure equipment and outdoor-lifestyle gear or the luxurious and supremely comfortable aft cabin with a ‘queen size’ sleeping accommodation.” With these options and a stunning Deep Blue finish, the boat is sure to turn heads.

Alongside the launch of the boat, Brabus also revealed the Panerai Submersible S Brabus Blue Shadow Edition (phew!), the second watch produced between Panerai and the tuner. The limited-edition dive watch is limited to just 200 units worldwide and features blue and gray tones and Swiss construction. No pricing has been made available for this or the boat it calls to mind, but you can bet that neither is cheap.

If you’d like to see the boat for yourself, you’ll have to take a trip to Spain, as it is on display from today until May 1 in Port Calanova on the island of Mallorca.
