Düsseldorf, 20.01.2024 – Breathtaking acceleration and speed, race-responsive handling, and bespoke craftsmanship – the BRABUS Shadow 1000, BRABUS Marine’s fastest ever superboat, is an entirely new breed of beast. The BRABUS Shadow 1000 Black Ops Signature Edition is a thrilling addition alongside the award-winning 37-foot BRABUS Shadow 900 series and follows the BRABUS Masterpiece design philosophy, with different power ranges being produced side by side as they cater to differing clienteles.

Available in Cross-Cabin and Sun-Top configurations, the all-new Shadow 1000 range and fastest Shadow ever, is the ultimate combination of pure excitement and uncompromising strength that redefines the limits of what is possible for luxury performance boats. While the Shadow 900 remains a highly popular option for customers worldwide in search of the latest in luxurious, comfortable, and fast long-distance cruisers, the new Shadow 1000 will be taking things further than ever before. It is the Gran Turismo of the sea, radiating raw BRABUS power, race-responsive steering, and handling that guarantees an unfiltered, high-performance driving experience.

Packed with the latest technology available in the industry, the BRABUS Shadow 1000 is equipped with twin Mercury V8 500R racing engines, delivering a total of 1,000 horsepower ready to be unleashed right at your fingertips. Never has a BRABUS Shadow been this powerful, offering even more boost, more torque, more responsive steering, and higher revs. Trimmed to perfection and running 4.6-liter V8 powerheads with superchargers, the new 500R is Mercury Racing’s flagship outboard motor, boasting a benchmark power-to-weight ratio, 10 percent higher torque, and a 26 percent increase in supercharger boost pressure. Experience a new level of power merging with cutting-edge innovation as you reach speeds of up to 60 knots with absolute ease. Beyond mesmerizing performance figures, it is the first marine engine to ever monitor air humidity levels to maintain the most vigorous calibration and high performance in any environment.

Every element of the BRABUS Shadow 1000 is perfectly fine-tuned for any adventure, meticulously hand-crafted with the attention to detail that BRABUS Marine is renowned for. From the signature paint scheme to the elegant upholstery and branded detailing, this sporty racing machine sets a new standard in luxury day-boating. Marked by the BRABUS Sign of Excellence, it is a true Masterpiece, built to the highest possible standards in typical BRABUS fashion.

The BRABUS Shadow 1000 Black Ops Signature Edition is a totally different beast, racing across the waves with all-new and unparalleled performance characteristics while impressing with a perfectly complemented Signature Style design, luxurious upholstery, and carbon elements, as well as painstakingly crafted detail work.
