While we’re very
familiar with the concept of luxury vans, it’s models like the Brabus Business
Plus that really get us thinking whether or not a small office space on wheels
is actually worth genuine supercar money.
This Brabus-tuned
diesel powered Mercedes V-Class costs 296,395 euros, which is roughly US$ 332,000.
That’s more than what you’d spend on a brand new Porsche 911 GT2 RS, minus
options, taxes, handling fees and all that.
The
Brabus van is definitely not going to blow you away with its performance. This
one only has a 4-cylinder diesel engine, tuned to produce 235 PS,
which means you’ll get to 100 km/h from a standstill in 8.8 seconds,
before maxing out at 210 km/h.
Let’s be fair
though and talk about what it is that you do get if you decide to spend this
much money on a custom van. For starters, there are custom Brabus bits all over
the exterior: front fascia attachment, front spoiler add-ons, rear skirt insert
and multiple emblems. You also get the Brabus Monoblock T or R wheels measuring
19-inches in diameter.
All the
good stuff is inside and we really should mention all the mods in order to do
this vehicle justice: Brabus fine leather seats with Nappa black piping, heated
and vented, with massage and memory function, heated and cooled cupholders in
the side panels and center console, electrically adjustable curtains, four
reading lights (one per seat), multiple USB ports, Brabus starry sky with RGB
ambient lighting, 21.5″ TV, high-speed LTE router, Apple TV, and even a
PlayStation 4 Slim.
Last but not least
are the custom pedals, entrance panels, door lock pins and floor mats, which
you usually find in all Brabus-tuned Mercedes models.
