Brabus 1200 Shadow – Test

The newcomer is the “open” layout of the already well-known and popular XC Cross Cabin (both born on the basis of theAxopar 45) with a more Mediterranean layout, without the closed central superstructure.
From the sister with closed and glazed central superstructure remain the exhilarating performance, pleasure and of driving and incredible comfort on board, even at 50 knots.
It all starts with the performate Axopar hull with 20° deadrise aft and double step.
The Brabus collaboration result in super exclusive models, with materials, finishes and colors of the highest level and unmistakable.
As always, great choice for deck layout: the entire aft area can be completely cleared, with a dinette, a wet-bar or, as with the models in our test, with a second cabin, which is in addition to the main cabin in the bow with entrance from the walkways with gull-wing doors, or directly from the dinette.
With three 400-hp Mercury V10s, we exceeded 53 knots: the price, merits, drawbacks and our personal choice between the two setups in the video.
