BRABUS at Top Marques Monaco.

Today marks the opening of Top Marques Monaco, which will feature some of the most innovative and exclusive brands and goods available in the luxury market. One of those companies is Brabus Marine, which will showcase the Shadow 500 for VIP visitors and guests to view.

The popular BRABUS Shadow T-Top has undergone significant aesthetic improvements, with the roof panel now having a sleeker, sportier appearance. The combined assembly, mounted on an improved version of its black painted arch, is just as functional as before when viewed in relation to the rest of the hull and cockpit area, but it is better integrated with the front screen and cockpit area, creating a more cohesive overall design.

The size of the swim platforms has also been increased for all models, and extra rub rails have been added to the edges of the new, larger swim platforms. Customers of BRABUS Shadow have always had a variety of options for expressing their individual preferences and personalities across their chosen model of boat.

Customers choosing the non-Black Ops versions of both model ranges, for instance, now have three additional gelcoat colours and four colour-coordinated seat upholstery options.

The addition of a new, visually captivating Glacier Blue version of our popular camouflage-wrap option adds another twist to the idea of personalization.

Looking particularly spectacular paired with Cappuccino light tan upholstery, contrasted with matt black accents from the seat backs, the painted handrails, the T-Top roof and support arch, the back-effect rub-rails and the cool-looking, black-tinted, smoke-effect windows of the multipurpose rear storage compartment.

A ceramic coating treatment that is applied as standard to the deck, centre console, and roof will provide additional surface protection for non-Black-Ops gelcoat hulls. Hull sides won't be treated, though, as minor scratches and abrasions that occasionally happen from regular use are typically simpler and quicker to fix without the coating.

After being applied, Ceramic Pro Bravo not only enhances the hull's lustre but also shields the surfaces above the waterline by forming a very thin, glass-like barrier that stops the oxidation of the surfaces below. The coating's "hydrophobic" property will repel saltwater, reduce drag, and aid in preventing long-term damage to the hull from grease, grime, and bird droppings. The treated area can now be cleaned and maintained on a more regular basis and with less difficulty, often without the use of harsh cleaners or solvents.

A significantly improved driver's console with a wider and more roomy Simrad® full width, touch-screen "Glass Helm Information Display" is at the forefront of enhancements to the driving experience. An intuitive, cutting-edge touch screen Graphic User Interface with dual 12-inch screens now integrates control of the boat's main navigation, engine management, onboard entertainment, and driving-assist features and inputs (GUI).

Much of the formerly disorganised instrumentation and switch gear has been removed from the console in an effort to create a driver-focused, more modern, and seamless appearance, with the exception of remote main switches in the helm area, which were added to make it easier and more convenient to start the boat.

The BRABUS Shadow 500 has two carefully chosen safety and comfort features that are present throughout. First, a new G-Shock sensor configured within the GUI will direct and advise the driver to drive more safely in inclement weather.
