BRABUS Marine's award-winning Shadow 900 Black Ops series is becoming bolder and darker than ever before with the BRABUS Shadow 900 Black Ops Signature Edition.
This latest evolution of BRABUS' hallmark design language, attention to detail and next-level performance is having its debut during this year's annual Cannes Yachting Festival, guaranteeing to leave spectators in awe.
Following the success of the Limited Edition BRABUS Shadow 900 Black Ops range, this evolved Signature Edition is yet another compelling result of the unique and thriving collaboration between German luxury mobility brand BRABUS and world-renowned Finnish boat manufacturer Axopar Boats.
Showcasing the full scope of this brand new Signature Edition in Cannes will be the BRABUS Shadow 900 Black Ops XC Cross-Cabin model, with both Sun-Top and Spyder models being available following the premiere. With a wide range of diverse features to be displayed, it will undoubtedly be a hot topic at this year's show.
This Signature Edition is as BRABUS as it gets. With darker and even further brabusized design cues including a dark, unmistakable "BRABUS Graphite Black" paint job, a brand new upholstery color choice in "BRABUS Graphite" as well as Signature Style graphics with red Signature Stripes that run across the entire exterior design concept and are accompanied by sleek hull badges in black chrome.
A new highlight of the Model year 2023 is the Sun Lounge, which is now standard on all BRABUS Shadow 900 models, due to its high comfort-level and expanded social space on the front deck. A multitude of new features such as a new LED searchlight, black engine cowlings with gray or red accents according to individual upholstery color choices, revised fender box panels, wall pockets and LED bulwark step lights complement the boat's irresistible BRABUS appeal.
But there is much more to the BRABUS Shadow 900 Black-Ops Signature Edition than brooding good looks, luxurious space utilization and cutting-edge innovation. Built for blistering acceleration, this edition is fueled by dual Mercury Marine 450R 4.6-liter V8 Four Stroke racing engines. These fierce powerhouses boast a combined output of 900 hp, not to mention a superb power-to-weight ratio.
The BRABUS Shadow 900 features a Simrad®? dual touch -screen full width, 'Glass Helm Information Display' with an updated BRABUS User-Interface, including G-shock monitoring, access to the boat's main navigation, engine management, on board entertainment and driving-assist features. With the extended Navigation Package the helm is expanded into a four screen "bridge" setup that includes additional functions like displaying the speed for the passengers, audio controls and also a digital Panerai watch.
The BRABUS Shadow 900 Black Ops Signature Edition XC Cross-Cabin model, which is debuting in Cannes, can reach a maximum of 55+ knots without compromising stability, handling, or agility. Similar to a well-designed, high-performance 4x4, the BRABUS Shadow 900 XC Cross-Cabin is defined by limitless go-anywhere capabilities, making it a true, uncompromising 'SUV' of the seas. What's more, owners can enjoy the boats' capabilities regardless of the weather. They can open the boat's electric full-length roof and doors to let in the sea breeze and the sun's warming rays or relax in the shade, protected from the elements. The raised seats in the boat's pilot house offer mesmerizing, panoramic views and forge a seamless connection with the outdoors.
But that's not all. Customers can tailor the Black OPS XC Cross-Cabin with a wide range of options. The multi-storage package is perfect for water sports enthusiasts seeking a boat to accommodate all their adventure gear while the spacious aft cabin with queen-size bunk is ideal for those looking for supreme comfort. The Black OPS XC Cross-Cabin is also available with a wet bar and fridge combo or with the usable aft bench module. Inside the pilothouse, owners can opt for a sophisticated black and light-gray dual combo or a uni-colored cool light gray. Subtle red accents enhance the interiors' aesthetics while the seats clad in BRABUS Fine Leather upholstery impress with comfort and striking Masterpiece badges.
A G-Shock sensor and 1st Mate Marine Safety & Security System are among the boat's safety and security features. The G-Shock sensor helps drivers navigate rough weather in safety while the 1st Mate System, in the form of a bracelet or fob, is connected to a mobile phone. The 1st Mate System delivers important safety alerts and offers features like man overboard monitoring, distress messaging, and a theft deterrent. All combine to enable Black OPS XC Cross-Cabin drivers to explore the world's waters worry-free.
This new Signature Edition is being revealed to a global fan base of discerning luxury boating enthusiasts with a showcase of the BRABUS Shadow 900 Black Ops XC Cross-Cabin model at Stand 316 during the Cannes Yachting Festival, 6-11 September 2022.
