One of the most interesting vehicles revealed at the Moscow International Automobile Salon was the Brabus Business Lounge, based on the Mercedes-Benz Sprinter van. This high class spacious conference room on four wheels is the latest way for wealthy businessmen to work and relax while traveling in luxury and style.
Brabus is a Germany-based company which specializes in high performance after-market tuning. The success of the company has been fueled by original and innovative ideas for more than three decades.
The long wheelbase high roof Mercedes-Benz Sprinter has had both the exterior and interior completely modified. The Brabus version of the Sprinter boasts a few body modifications: a set of 18-inch Monoblock nine-spoke wheels, a new bumper and a new grill which now features the Brabus logo, LED daytime running lights and twin exhausts.
The black van, which has undergone an attractive exterior upgrade, mostly impresses with its fine interiors. Elegant and imposing leather passenger compartment in a dual-tone combination of cognac and mocha; four business seats for conferences, mounted face-to-face, capable of reclining to a full sleeping position with built-in bonus functions such as, lumbar support, massage, heating ventilation, and power adjustment with three-position memory. The seats can be controlled via a touchpad near the armrest. There is a third additional two-seat row in back which can be removed if more luggage space is needed. Eight power-operated curtains keep the envious crowd away from what happens inside the business lounge.
Each business seat is equipped with a touchscreen display integrated into the center console and the occupants can control everything from the curtains to the 2700-LED headliner that can simulate starry sky.
The Business Lounge edition keeps its passengers wired and connected and allows them to access LTE mobile internet through a Wi-Fi hotspot. The passengers can connect their laptops or tablets into the on-board computer network and display their contents on the massive 42-inch HD LCD mounted behind the driver’s cab. There are eight USB ports for charging tablets and phones and three 220-volt outlets for larger devices.
The van even features three power-adjustable tables, a built-in refrigerator and a coffeemaker for extra convenience of the passengers while being chauffeured from point to point.
