Designed for the bold who are ready to live beyond the limits, the head-turning Phantom Gray Signature Edition is the latest newcomer Signature Edition of the BRABUS Shadow 1000 range. Hitting the waters for the first time as adrenaline-fueled open Sun-Top model and being furthermore available as a fully enclosed XC Cross Cabin model, the latest exclusive BRABUS Shadow truly knows how to take center stage. Inspired by the BRABUS Crawler off-road supercar, this Signature Edition boasts an unmistakable Phantom Gray paint scheme and combines BRABUS typical carbon fiber detailing with exclusive BRABUS Red upholstery colors and outfitting.

Rebellious Meets Powerful

From exhilarating speeds to unparalleled maneuverability, every aspect of the BRABUS Shadow 1000 XC Cross-Cabin and Sun-Top models is engineered to perfection. The superboat range is equipped with twin Mercury V8 500R racing engines, delivering a total of 1,000 horsepower right at your fingertips courtesy of the latest technology available in the industry.

The BRABUS Shadow 1000 offers even more boost, more torque, more responsive steering and higher revs than any other BRABUS Shadow model. Running 4.6-liter V8 powerheads with superchargers, the 500R is the flagship of Mercury Racing’s outboard motor portfolio, featuring an exceptional power-to-weight ratio, ten percent higher torque and a 26 percent increase in supercharger boost pressure. Experience blistering acceleration all the way up to 60 knots, powered by the first-ever marine engine to feature air humidity monitoring to maintain perfect calibration and high performance in any environment.

Harness rebellious power in a clean, functional and uncluttered cockpit that is packed with the best in modern marine technology – ranging from the Intelligent Steering Module that controls the bow thrusters, trim tabs and audio to the innovative Simrad navigational touchscreen displays and optional extended navigation package. The driving experience is further enhanced with Mercury’s JPO (Joystick Piloting for Outboards) joystick steering, including Skyhook and Mercury autopilot features as well as reverse and night vision cameras.

Designed for the Bold

The Phantom Gray Signature Edition look boasts an unmistakable BRABUS 1-Second-Wow effect courtesy of its namesake “Phantom Gray” paintjob. Matching upholstery colors in BRABUS Red as well as a bespoke outfitting package featuring BRABUS Red roof racks, waterski frames and roof pillars set further sporty accents inspired in every detail by the design of the BRABUS Crawler. This exclusive superboat is hand-built with a focus on precision and finish. The process of fairing, painting and polishing alone takes up to six weeks due to non-automated, thorough and highly labor-intensive processes.

Every design element of the BRABUS Shadow 1000 is a testament to the uncompromising fusion of form and function as well as the attention to detail that BRABUS Marine is renowned for. From the unique paint scheme to the luxurious upholstery and branded detailing, this sporty racing machine sets entirely new standards in the world of modern day-boating.

The Sign of Excellence is integrated in the helm area as a seal of exceptional craftsmanship, guaranteeing that every BRABUS Shadow 1000 is a true Masterpiece, built to the highest possible standards with only the best possible materials.

Ultimate Comfort & Innovative Design

Where premium comfort and functionality redefine the superlative. Aboard this Shadow, you will not only experience incredible performance but also unparalleled luxury and social spaces. From the sunbathing area in the bow, the front lounge with gullwing doors, to the helm and cockpit areas with independent sitting spaces and various optional aft deck layouts to choose from, your Shadow will perfectly accommodate any individual needs. Whether you are out with friends to relax or looking for action-packed adventures, the innovative layout and design highlights will guarantee an unforgettable day out at sea.

Customers can choose between several different aft options: an open aft, a wet bar package featuring spacious multi-storage compartments, an overnight aft accommodation package, or the latest highlight of the BRABUS Marine product portfolio: the U-Sofa layout, offering maximum comfort and versatility. Those who opt for the U-Sofa option will benefit from an exquisite dining area, which easily transforms into a large sunbed. Insulated compartments offer additional, more convenient storage and cooling spaces for beverages and snacks.

The BRABUS Shadow 1000 fender boxes feature a new raised design, making them more spacious and enabling the possibility to upgrade with a wet bar including a sink and an electrical fridge on the port side to ensure that any refreshments are only an arm’s length away.

The dedication to luxurious practicality and attention to detail continues inside the front cabin, the optional aft accommodation, and – aboard the enclosed XC Cross Cabin Model – the main cabin house. Customers can choose between distinctive carbon fiber detailing with either a matte or glossy finish, or between two elegant BRABUS Fine Leather options.

Experience a True Rebel

The BRABUS Shadow 1000 Sun-Top and XC Cross Cabin Phantom Gray Signature Editions are full-on rebels, racing across the waves with unparalleled performance characteristics while impressing with a perfectly complemented Signature design, luxurious upholstery and carbon elements as well as painstakingly crafted detail work.
