If you're a fan of the Brabus brand, you know that this iconic German manufacturer doesn't stop at cars or boats. This time they surprised with their first motorhome - and it's no ordinary motorhome. Meet the monster on wheels: the Brabus Big Boy 1200, which brings prestige, power and size to mobile living.
The name doesn't lie. The Brabus Big Boy 1200, also known as the "Brabus Big Boy", is a new member of their Masterpiece series. With a length of 12 meters (nearly 40 feet) and more than 30 square meters of interior space, this motorhome is among the largest and most luxurious on the market. The matte black exterior with the shiny Brabus logo on the hood expresses the style and boldness we are used to from this brand. On the side, two electrically controlled panels can be extended to increase the space, increasing the width of the motorhome from 2.5 to 4.5 meters, which ensures space and comfort in the bedroom and living room.
Despite the height of four meters, entry is easy - the electrically controlled stairs ensure that you do not have to suffer when entering. On the outside, you will also find side wind shields, fog lamp covers, a roof light bar and a 360-degree camera surveillance system.
Powertrain and performance
This "house on wheels" is based on a three-axle chassis with three axles and dual rear wheels, and is powered by a 12.8-liter six-cylinder turbodiesel engine with 530 horsepower (396 kW) and a dizzying 2,600 Nm of torque (1,918 lb.ft). Although you won't win in acceleration, the top speed of around 90 km/h (56 mph) is quite sufficient for comfortable driving on long distances.
Luxurious interior for royal comfort
Inside, the Big Boy pampers you with the elegance and practicality we expect from Brabus. Two comfortable sofas, covered in gray Brabus leather with a sophisticated pattern, provide a relaxing environment for rest. Even the carpets are covered in gray fabric, contrastingly finished with black wood or black Alcantara, which adds a sporty touch to the overall ambience. The sleeping area includes a large bed measuring 160 x 200 cm, which can be electrically adjusted for maximum comfort. If you need an additional bed, there is also a bed above the cabin, which also lowers with electric control.
Entertainment is provided by a 43-inch 4K Smart TV, an attached PS5 console and Starlink connection, which provides high-speed satellite internet - perfect for any digital nomad or entertainment lover on the go.
