Mercedes-Benz in Europe offers the V-Class passenger
version. And Brabus has modified it as a Business Lounge for the 2017 Geneva
Motor Show.
The venerable Benz tuner has outfitted its V-Class
as a luxurious limousine much as it has done with the larger Sprinter. The
chauffeur compartment is partitioned from the rear passenger area, where you'll
find a pair of fully adjustable and climate-controlled first-class seats
upholstered in the finest leather, and all manner of electronic entertainment.
Those fortunate enough to be transported in back
will find a 40-inch screen, the full Brabus Media Center, a cloud-based
connectivity system, LTE mobile connectivity, a touchscreen control panel,
Apple TV, and Sony PlayStation 4 Pro. There's even an onboard safe to keep
personal belongings extra secure, as well as hot/cold cup holders and a mini-fridge.
The show van rides on a
set of 19-inch monoblock alloys hooked up to a dropped suspension. It's
visually distinguished by a custom aero kit and even features automatic tinting
Magic Glass. And to keep it moving along the Autobahn at pace, Brabus offers
performance enhancements to boost output from the four-cylinder diesel engine
by 44 horsepower and 52 lb-ft of torque to produce 232 hp and 376 lb-ft,
helping the van accelerate from 0-62 miles per hour in 8.8 seconds en route to
a top speed of 130 mph.
Of course with
all the creature comforts on board, passengers will be blissfully isolated in
the height of luxury from the scenery rushing by.
