Truly impressive onboard this premium-luxury cabin cruiser are the five massive social spaces onboard: the foredeck, helm, cockpit, including the balcony doors, aft deck, and the front lounge with the gullwing doors. Thanks to the extra-wide sociable sofa that wraps around the cockpit wetbar, a large dining area, and the option for a u-sofa or an aft cabin on the aft deck, there is plenty of room to entertain guests. Next-level functionality especially meets style and comfort with the innovative, brabusized balcony doors: simply fold down the spacious side doors in the hull and extend your social and relaxation area amid-ship even further.

This truly is the most capable BRABUS shadow ever built, reaching entirely new heights of confident performance with the combined power of triple 400 HP Mercury Racing 5.7l V10 engines enabling top speeds of up to 55 knots, unmatched in the 45-foot size range. At the helm, you harness this mesmerizing power in a clean, functional, uncluttered cockpit that is packed with the best in marine technology - from the Intelligent Steering Module that controls the bow thruster, trim tabs, and audio - to the innovative Simrad navigational touchscreen displays. The driving experience is further enhanced with Mercury's JPO (Joystick Piloting for Outboards) joystick steering, including Skyhook and Mercury autopilot features.

The new BRABUS Shadow 1200 XC Cross-Cabin model enters the market with the bold and renowned Black Ops Signature Edition look, boasting a dark, unmistakable "BRABUS Graphite Black" paint job, with upholstery colors in BRABUS Graphite as well as Signature Style graphics that run across the entire exterior design concept and are accompanied by sleek hull badges in black chrome. This special edition is hand-built with a focus on precision and finish. The process of fairing, painting, and polishing alone takes up to six weeks due to non-automated, thorough, and highly labor-intensive procedures.

The dedication to luxurious practicality and passion for detail continues inside the wheelhouse, front cabin, and optional aft accommodation, with distinctive carbon fiber detailing, BRABUS fine leather options with BRABUS piping and stitching, and the BRABUS Sign of Excellence. This seal of craftsmanship guarantees that every BRABUS 1200 is built to the highest possible standards with the best materials, underscored by cutting-edge technology and engineering. The peerless premium onboard experience is enhanced with ambience features ranging from premium JL audio systems to dimmable LED, underwater and deck lighting, and optional full RGB lighting throughout the entire boat, creating the perfect mood and soundtrack for high-end everyday adventures.

The BRABUS Shadow 1200 Black Ops Signature Edition will be unveiled with a showcase of the BRABUS Shadow 1200 XC Cross-Cabin model at Hall 4 / B59 during an exclusive press event on the opening day of boot Düsseldorf, January 20-28, 2024.
