BRABUS has premiered its first superyacht at the 2026 Monaco Yacht Show: the AB110, a 33.7-metre (110ft 7in) opening model in a new three-model BRABUS Yacht Range developed with AB Yachts, the Next Yacht Group brand. Two further models, the AB95 and the AB150, are to follow, with the AB150’s premiere set for the 2027 Monaco show, the year of BRABUS’ 50th anniversary.
The numbers are unapologetic: three MTU 16V 2000 M96L engines of 2,600hp each, 7,800hp combined, driving MJP waterjets with a central booster for a reported 48-knot top speed and a 41-knot cruise. Beam is 6.80 metres, draught 1.30 metres, fuel capacity 11,500 litres, and accommodation is for ten. The BRABUS signature is everywhere: carbon-fibre exterior, red accents, an illuminated roof spoiler, exposed-carbon front wings, LED roof lights, triangle-quilted upholstery, and BRABUS Masterpiece interiors. The aft garage converts to a sea-level beach lounge.
Megayacht News notes this is BRABUS Marine’s first move into superyachts, following the Shadow series built with Axopar and the Ultima 55 catamaran with Sunreef; the AB Yachts partnership was announced in summer 2026. Next Yacht Group also premiered the Maiora M38 at the show.
The automotive luxury-tuner pipeline into yachting continues, and BRABUS has chosen the most BRABUS possible entry point: maximum horsepower, maximum theatre. In a week when Monaco’s official awards honoured hybrid propulsion and seagrass restoration, the AB110’s 48 knots read as a deliberate counter-statement: there is still a clientele that buys speed first and asks about emissions later. The market will have room for both, but they are no longer the same customer.
