With the introduction of Apple iPad 2, Brabus kinda felt that their iBusiness S-Class that had a couple of first-gen iPads is now obsolete. So they launched new version iBusiness 2.0 which is more powerful, more luxurious, and features iPad 2!

Now you might think they they’ve just removed the old iPads and put new ones in, but you’d be wrong! This is a different car. Before we get to the geeky iBusiness part, let’s check out under the hood.

There you find a new iteration of Brabus SV12 R engine that makes 800 hp (788 bhp) / 588 kW and a peak torque of 1,420 Nm (1,047 lb-ft). As usual the torque had to be limited, but still it can do 0 to 100 km/h in 3.9 seconds and can reach a top speed of (electronically limited) 350 km/h (219 mph). The the “iBusiness 2.0? S-Class also gets a discrete Brabus body kit, as well as Brabus wheels with diameters ranging from 19 to 21 inches, and upgraded brakes and suspension.

You don’t have to have it with the big V12 though, as Brabus also offers the iBusiness treatment for the S350 to S65, the whole range.

Now let’s step inside the cabin and see what this “iBusiness 2.0”  has to offer.

You get one or two iPad 2 tablets integrated into bespoke tables made specially for them in the rear compartment. The electrically deployed and infinitely adjustable tabletop is covered with the same supple leather as the entire interior, and is bordered by an elegant high-gloss aluminum frame. The table features custom-tailored recesses for holding the iPad and the corresponding Bluetooth keyboard either vertically or horizontally.

The car’s iPad 2s control BRABUS multimedia system and are connected to a a Mini Mac located in the trunk, which a serves as the central computer via a WiFi network. That gives the tablets great computing power so they can also control all functions of the S-Class COMAND system from the rear seats. Thanks to the integrated cameras of the new iPad generation the “iBusiness 2.0? system is supremely suited for video conferencing.

At this stage you sure need some detailed figures on the car’s tech stuff. So we hand over to Brabus and let them explain the features packed in this ultra-lux super saloon:

The sound is reproduced either by the sound system of the S-Class or by Sennheiser Noise Gard headphones, which filter out any unwanted ambient noise for unparalleled listening pleasure in the rear compartment.

The BRABUS all-leather interior creates an exclusive ambiance. It is crafted with utmost precision in the company upholstery shop.

An unusual augmentation to the exclusive appointments is the BRABUS Yachting wood-trim package. It lends the interior of the luxury sedan a maritime feel that is reminiscent of classic Italian sport boats. All wood trim elements of the S-Class are painstakingly created by hand from hundreds of individual pieces and have the look and feel of a miniature ship veneer. The wood inlays have a high-gloss finish and meet the latest automotive quality and safety guidelines.

Scuff plates with illuminated BRABUS logo, an ergonomically shaped sport steering wheel and anodized aluminum pedals add further individual highlights.
