by AutoExpert | 7 November, 2024
The Brabus Big Boy 1200 is redefining the concept of a motorhome, blending luxury and sheer size to create what could double as a posh retreat or the ultimate mobile command center. Built on a Mercedes Actros platform and crafted in partnership with STX Motorhomes, this massive RV represents the launch of Brabus's new “Masterpiece” series.
Its design alone is unforgettable—a sleek, imposing black exterior with LED accents and subtle carbon-fiber touches, giving it a bold look that could pass for a villain’s lair on wheels. Measuring nearly 40 feet long, over 8 feet wide, and 13 feet tall, this mobile mansion features four slide-out sections that create an expansive interior space of 323 square feet when parked.
Inside, a modern living room seamlessly transitions into a generously-sized bedroom, complete with a plush double bed, two couches, and a lofted single bed over the cab—perfect for enjoying a touch of luxury while on the move. The amenities continue with a chic, fully-equipped bathroom adorned in natural stone and a high-end kitchen setup that includes everything from a wine cooler to a coffee maker.
A Starlink satellite connection and Wi-Fi router provide internet access anywhere, while two 43-inch 4K TVs, a PlayStation 5, and a high-fidelity audio system ensure entertainment is always on hand. The RV’s eight roof-mounted solar panels, paired with a large battery pack and generator, allow for extended off-grid living, while insulated walls and advanced climate controls maintain comfort in any environment.
Powering this Brabus Big Boy 1200 is a 12.8-liter turbo diesel engine that delivers 523 horsepower and an impressive 1,918 lb-ft of torque. While its top speed is capped at 56 mph, this isn’t about racing—it’s about taking luxury anywhere you go, on your terms. Starting at a base price of €1,260,504.20 (around $1.37 million), the Big Boy 1200 offers a travel experience unlike anything else.
