This new motorboat has received the Brabus treatment

High-performance aftermarket tuning company Brabus may be best known for its high-performance cars — such as the Brabus Rocket 900 Cabrio, the world’s fastest and most powerful street-legal convertible — but with its new Shadow 800 motorboat, it’s bringing its customisation to both land and sea…

Sun meets shadow

Named the Shadow 800 — but as only 20 original hand-made examples will be made, the company is referring to them as ‘One of Twenty’ — this motorboat is the first collaboration between Brabus and Finnish manufacturer Axopar, which have recently established a ‘long-term relationship’. Based on Axopar’s 37 Sun Top, the 36ft Brabus boat features two new supercharged outboard racing engines, which can reach a maximum speed of 50 knots; two 12in chart plotter screens in the helm display; and Brabus’s fine leather, Alcantara, and 42in flat-screen TV. Accompanying the luxurious boat, ‘One of Twenty’ owners will receive a Garmin Quatix 5 Sapphire multisport marine wristwatch — the perfect seafaring pairing.
