The BRABUS AB110 emerges as an unexpected bridge between the tarmac and the open sea. The German tuner, synonymous for four decades with extreme automotive performance, has engineered its first superyacht alongside AB Yachts, extending the BRABUS philosophy into a vessel measuring 110 feet with a maximum speed of 48 knots.
What defines this collaboration is the coherence of design language. The yacht’s hull and superstructure carry unmistakable BRABUS signatures: aggressive lines, purposeful proportions and an obsessive attention to weight reduction through the liberal use of carbon fibre throughout the exterior elements. Inside, the Masterpiece interior programme that BRABUS refined across its automobile collection now unfolds across multiple decks and cabins, each surface chosen with the same exacting standards that govern the brand’s road cars.
The engineering speaks with equal clarity. State of the art waterjet propulsion replaces conventional drives, eliminating the drag penalties of traditional marine systems and enabling the kind of performance that transforms open water into a domain of genuine thrill. The power output reaches 7,800 horsepower, a figure that recalls the stratospheric specifications BRABUS brings to its most extreme automotive creations.
The AB110 represents something altogether different from the branded collaborations that have become routine in luxury: not a logo applied to someone else’s design, but rather a fundamental translation of BRABUS engineering and aesthetic conviction into another medium. The result is a vessel that moves across water as a BRABUS machine moves across land, with the same kinetic intensity and uncompromising technical vision.
