THE BRABUS BIG BOY 1200 IS THE LUXURY MOBILE HOME AWAY FROM HOME RESERVED FOR LOTTO WINNERS AND BAZILLIONAIRES.
When BRABUS sets its mind to something, you know it’s going to be extreme. Supercars, motorcycles, boats - now, the German luxury tuning powerhouse is taking over the motorhome game with the BRABUS BIG BOY 1200. Developed in partnership with Belgian RV specialists STX Motorhomes, this isn’t just a high-end camper. It’s a rolling five-star hotel with performance DNA, designed to take you anywhere in uncompromising style. At 12 meters long, this blacked-out behemoth isn’t just about size - it’s about smart luxury. Four electric slide-out modules expand the salon and bedroom to a staggering 4.5 meters wide, offering over 30 square meters of opulent living space. A state-of-the-art kitchen, a high-end bathroom, and a masterfully designed BRABUS MASTERPIECE interior - featuring the finest leather, Alcantara, carbon fiber, and black precious wood - ensure every journey is an indulgence. Technology meets exclusivity with dual 43-inch 4K TVs, a PlayStation 5, a high-end sound system, and Starlink satellite internet to keep you connected no matter where you roam. Large, double-glazed windows with blackout roller shades, power skylights, and a climate control system with an auxiliary heater create a serene and comfortable atmosphere. Need a workspace? The salon transforms into a mobile office with a designer table and ergonomic seating, ensuring that business-class travel takes on a whole new meaning. Underneath its aluminum-composite body with carbon fibre elements, the BIG BOY 1200 houses a monstrous 12.8-liter six-cylinder turbodiesel churning out 390 kW and a monstrous 2,600 Nm of torque. Its electronically limited top speed of 90 km/h ensures smooth, controlled cruising, while a three-axle chassis with dual rear tires and hydraulic jacks guarantees stability wherever you park.
For off-grid adventurers, an advanced hybrid power system - featuring eight solar panels, an energy storage unit, and a generator - keeps everything running. Massive fresh and wastewater tanks mean extended excursions are hassle-free. From the illuminated BRABUS logo on the carbon radiator grille to the aggressive styling cues, LED lighting, and commanding stance, the BIG BOY 1200 is unmistakable. The cockpit, outfitted in quilted BRABUS leather, offers supreme comfort for the driver and co-pilot, while an electrically lowerable 160 cm-wide bed provides additional sleeping space above the front seats. Exclusivity comes at a price, though - €1,260,504.20, to be exact. If you add in the taxes and all that boring stuff, it totals €1,500,000. Translating that into a currency that we understand and have to complain about on the daily, it’s a mere R29,909,520.00. The whole kit and kaboodle is based on a Mercedes-Benz Actros, a heavy-duty truck series renowned for long-distance haulage and heavy-duty distribution, known for its efficiency, reliability, and safety features, and has been a prominent choice in the trucking industry since its introduction in 1996. You can pick up an Actros here in SA for around R2mil, and that’s only the horse part of the horse & trailer. So, assuming you can find yourself a super clean one and can then source all the relevant people and companies with the skills to make something like what you see here, you’ll have a mere R27mil budget to make it all happen. While BRABUS is one of the best at what they do, worldwide, if you have millions to spare, then you might want to take a chance and build your own. That said, if you’re on this level of F-you money, then you could spend all of your free time in 5-star hotels for many, many years without getting close to the total you’d need to spend to have a fancy mobile home.
