The Appeal
Here is something quite different. Owners of Rolls-Royces and Bentleys, in particular, may wish to take a moment. Because this Mercedes-Benz Viano puts your luxury and technology into the shade.
Behold the BRABUS iBusiness 3D. Beyond the functional name is a vehicle equipped with the sort of high-tech multimedia extravaganza specification to make mouths drop. And an original price to match. In 2015 this van retailed at €456,954.
In the rarified world of the iBusiness 3D, this is the one to have. It has been specified with a raft of factory options, including the BRABUS-tuned 4litre V6 engine delivering 315bhp. The red-top engine indicates that this unit was factory-built.
All of which makes it certainly special and quite possibly unique. It has covered just 6,642 miles from new, giving the buyer an opportunity acquire a barely-used iBusiness in which to travel in a style that few super luxury cars can achieve.

The joy of this iBusiness is that it takes what you imagine might be possible to fit in a Viano and confounds those ideas. Whether perusing the extensive specification list above or the photographs, it is hard not to look, increasingly slack-jawed, at the luxury on display.
The goal of the iBusiness was to give buyers a very high technology, multimedia vehicle and certainly the mix of IPads, BRABUS apps, COMAND system and on-board wifi are key parts of that promise. But they jostle with sumptuous luxury, whether it is the massaging, multi-adjustable seats, the Nespresso coffee maker or simply the privacy glass and blinds.
There is a level of technology and luxury on display here that we suspect even Bentley and Rolls-Royce would struggle to match. As you would expect from a car exhibiting such low mileage, it is all in very good order. It is pleasingly complete too, the factory BRABUS umbrella and coffee cups suitably in place.
The Mechanics
- 4.0 V6 LWB Viano upgraded to BRABUS 4litre 315bhp specification
- Engine’s red top indicates this is a factory-built conversion
- 5spd automatic 5G-TRONIC gearbox
- High factory specification including hill start assist and rear air suspension
- Low mileage vehicle recently imported from Germany
While it may be tempting to stay awhile in the sumptuous cabin of this iBusiness, hard-charging captains of industry know that time is indeed money. No surprise then that this iBusiness is fitted with the top specification 4litre BRABUS version of Mercedes-Benz’ 4.0 litre V6 engine. It delivers a healthy, autobahn-storming 315bhp.
That factory fettling adds to what was an already high factory specification when this Viano left Mercedes-Benz in May 2013. It is also fitted with rear air suspension and hill assist start.
We understand that this is a well maintained vehicle which has recently been imported to the UK from Germany.
