Brabus, a German powerhouse known for its high-performance aftermarket tuning for luxury cars, has ventured into new territory with the introduction of the Big Boy 1200, a luxury RV that redefines opulence on wheels. This massive motorhome, part of the esteemed Masterpiece series, extends nearly 40 feet in length and surpasses 12 feet in height, promising to turn heads and elevate road-tripping to an unparalleled level of luxury.
The heart of this behemoth is its robust 12.8-liter diesel inline-six engine, delivering a formidable 530 horsepower and a staggering 1,918 lb-ft of torque. Despite its size, the Big Boy 1200 maintains a top speed of 90 km/h (56 MPH), thanks to its sturdy three-axle chassis and hydraulic support system, ensuring stability and comfort even at its limit.
Brabus has always excelled in customizing Mercedes and Porsches, and now it brings its expertise to the RV market. The interior of the Big Boy 1200 offers a startling 30 square meters (323 square feet) of living space, further expandable by four slide-outs that add an extra 15 feet of room. The motorhome’s layout includes a lavish lounge, a fully equipped kitchen, and versatile dining that hints at the finesomeness of every mile traveled.
The attention to detail is evident in every corner of the Big Boy 1200. The living area boasts custom Brabus leather sofas, branded throw pillows, and a high-end entertainment system. Carbon fiber accents and black wood dominate the decor, starting from the electronic entry steps to the dining table behind the driver’s cabin. The kitchen is fitted with top-notch appliances including an induction cooktop and a dishwasher, all finished with carbon fiber accents.
Sleeping arrangements are as grand as one would expect, with a king-sized bed in the main bedroom, complete with a large closet, expandable work desk featuring a Paola Lenti chair, and a smart TV for a home-like experience. An additional sleeping area above the driver’s station offers privacy with a blackout curtain and an electrically lowerable bed, ensuring restful nights after a day of adventure.
The centrally located bathroom is divided into three parts, featuring a rainforest shower with a floor-to-ceiling natural stone wall, an open lavatory, and a separate toilet. The Big Boy 1200 doesn’t just cater to comfort but also to efficiency and connectivity, equipped with rooftop solar panels, comprehensive water storage tanks, Starlink internet, a 360-degree camera system, and automatic climate control, encapsulating the essence of a smart home on the move.
Priced at $1.5 million, the Big Boy 1200 is not just an RV but a statement of luxury and innovation, crafted for those who desire the freedom of the open road without compromising the comforts of home. Brabus continues to push the boundaries of what’s possible in automotive design, making the Big Boy 1200 a true masterpiece for the discerning traveler.
