Luxurious, expansive, comfortable, high-tech motorhome
The journey has always been as important as the destination, and with the BRABUS BIG BOY 1200, the journey becomes an experience in unparalleled luxury. This isn't just a motorhome; it's a 12-meter-long masterpiece that turns any place you park into a home that rivals the finest accommodations.
Stepping inside, you're greeted by over 30 square meters of exquisitely designed living space. The interior expands effortlessly with two electrically extendable slide-outs on each side, widening the saloon and bedroom to an impressive 4.5 meters. Hydraulically extendable supports level the vehicle on any surface, ensuring stability whether you're on a secluded beach or a mountainside retreat.
The bedroom is a sanctuary of comfort. Two extendable modules create space for a transversely positioned double bed measuring 160 by 200 centimeters. Opposite the bed, a 43-inch 4K television awaits, ready to stream your favorite shows via satellite internet provided by Starlink. A spacious closet lines the rear wall, and a desk offers a dedicated workspace for when inspiration strikes.
The living room is no less impressive. Two sofas upholstered in fine gray BRABUS leather stitched in the signature “Triangle” design invite you to relax. Black fine wood and Alcantara accents blend seamlessly with carbon trims, giving the interior a sporty yet sophisticated feel. The kitchen is a chef's dream, equipped with an induction hob, oven, dishwasher, and a spacious fridge with an integrated freezer. A wine fridge and coffee machine ensure that your favorite beverages are always within reach.
Between the bedroom and living area lies a luxurious bathroom crafted from fine natural stone. A rainforest shower, WC, and washbasin provide all the comforts of a high-end spa. Climate control is effortless with an automatic air conditioning system and a parking heater, both of which can be powered by eight solar panels on the roof or plugged in when available.
The driver's cabin doesn't skimp on luxury either. Two comfortable seats upholstered in gray BRABUS Masterpiece leather feature precise quilting and perforation. Above the cockpit, an electrically lowerable bed provides additional sleeping space, and curtains offer privacy from the saloon.
Externally, the BIG BOY 1200 commands attention with its all-black signature color scheme and illuminated BRABUS logo set within a visible carbon radiator grille. Carbon fiber elements like side wind deflectors and hood handles add to its imposing presence. LED technology enhances visibility with auxiliary headlights on the roof light bar and stylish rear lights.
Powering this colossal vehicle is a 12.8-liter six-cylinder turbodiesel engine delivering 530 horsepower and an astounding 2,600 Nm of torque. While the top speed is limited to 90 km/h, it's clear that this motorhome is designed for cruising in comfort rather than racing down highways. The three-axle chassis with twin rear tires ensures safe handling and outstanding comfort, and a 360-degree camera monitor system keeps you aware of your surroundings at all times.
The BRABUS BIG BOY 1200 is for those who refuse to compromise on luxury, even when they're miles away from the nearest city. It's a mobile mansion that caters to every desire, transforming the concept of a motorhome into something extraordinary. Whether you want to wake up to a new horizon every day or simply desire the freedom to move without sacrificing the comforts of home, this vehicle offers an experience that's both liberating and indulgent.
In a world where space and comfort often come at the expense of mobility, this motorhome defies convention. It's not just about where you're going; it's about enjoying every moment along the way in the kind of luxury that makes the journey itself the destination. The BRABUS BIG BOY 1200 doesn't just take you places—it redefines how you get there.
