The new BRABUS Shadow 45 range offers a new level of performance and luxury on the water, with a choice between two distinct profiles built on the same 45-foot platform — the BRABUS Shadow 1200 and the Shadow 1500. The 2026 Shadow 1200 is designed for long distance cruising, sporting a new propulsion setup with three Mercury Verado 400 V10 outboards, improved acceleration, optimized propeller geometry and a redesigned gear case. Riders enjoy an even smoother, more efficient ride that combines performance, efficiency and refinement.
Built for power and confident performance, the Shadow 1500 delivers the highest level of bespoke craftsmanship and onboard luxury. Three supercharged Mercury Racing V8 engines produce 1,500 horsepower, making the Shadow 1500 one of the most agile high-performance dayboats in its class. Exclusive features include a premium audio system and extended navigation package. The helm is configured standard without Joystick Piloting for Outboards to ensure the most direct connection between driver and the boat at high speeds, but JPO is offered as an optional system upgrade. On-brand design elements compliment the signature-style exterior and luxurious, customizable interior.
The Shadow 45 Range is available in three models designed to fit different needs. The versatile XC Cross Cabin, the open Sun Top and the sporty Cross Top. Buyers can select their model, choose their signature style and match it with either the triple Mercury Verado 400 V10 outboard engine setup for the Shadow 1200 or triple supercharged 500hp Mercury Racing V8 engines for the Shadow 1500, delivering a fully customizable performance boat suited to the lifestyle of its owner.
