So reasoned business partners Klaus Brakman (Klaus Brackmann) and Bodo Buschman (Bodo Buschmann). In 1977, they created a Mercedes dealership and now they were thinking about what kind of zest to bring to their business. The idea came simple, but great - you just need to do tuning. But not superficial, which means only hanging various “decorations” on the car, and carbon hoods, but much deeper, affecting all the insides of the car. And so the studio was born. Brabus, whose name was formed from the names of the creators - Bra ckmann+ Bus chmann.
