BRABUS Shadow 800

One of Twenty

An individualist’s boat with an automotive bloodline

From a passion for fast and exclusive cars to becoming a truly global player: When Bodo Buschmann* founded BRABUS in 1977, he never dreamed his company would grow into the world’s largest independent auto-tuner and manufacturer of unique, high-performance automobiles over the next four decades. High-end tuning and lifestyle for Mercedes-Benz, AMG and Maybach is the core domain of BRABUS, with individualised solutions and options to satisfy every owner’s wish. In love with boating ever since he was a small child, Bodo found an immediate connection and direct synergy with Axopar, where he could extend the BRABUS concept of creating exclusivity from ultra high-performance, luxury and sophisticated engine power. Referred to as a luxury chase boat, or ‘shadow’ boat for a larger yacht or superyacht, the Shadow 800 ‘One of Twenty’ represents only the first example of this cool, exciting and discerning future new breed. Advanced design, engineering and the use of high-tech, selective materials require a superior level and lengthier period of manufacturing. This also enables every new Shadow buyer to specify and explore a far higher level of personalisation, such that it’s unlikely any two Shadow boats carrying the BRABUS Shadow logo will ever be entirely the same. Here is a taste of just some of the many features and benefits that make the BRABUS Shadow 800 stand out from the crowd… * With great sadness and regret on 9th May 2018 Prof h.c.Bodo Buschmann passed away after a brief illness
