An excerpt characterizing Brabus
After Denisov's departure, Rostov, waiting for the money that the old count could not suddenly collect, spent another two weeks in Moscow, without leaving home, and mainly in the young ladies' room.Sonya was more tender and devoted to him than before. She seemed to want to show him that his loss was a feat for which she now loves him all the more; but Nicholas now considered himself unworthy of her.
He filled the girls' albums with poems and notes, and without saying goodbye to any of his acquaintances, finally sending all 43 thousand and receiving Dolokhov's receipt, he left at the end of November to catch up with the regiment, which was already in Poland.
After his explanation with his wife, Pierre went to Petersburg. There were no horses at the station in Torzhok, or the caretaker did not want them. Pierre had to wait. Without undressing, he lay down on a leather sofa in front of a round table, put his big feet in warm boots on this table and thought.
- Will you order the suitcases to be brought in? Make a bed, would you like some tea? the valet asked.
Pierre did not answer, because he did not hear or see anything. He had been thinking at the last station and still kept thinking about the same thing - about such an important thing that he did not pay any attention to what was going on around him. He was not only not interested in the fact that he would arrive later or earlier in Petersburg, or whether he would or would not have a place to rest at this station, but all the same, in comparison with the thoughts that occupied him now, whether he would stay for a few hours or a lifetime at that station.
The caretaker, caretaker, valet, a woman with Torzhkov sewing came into the room, offering their services. Pierre, without changing his position of his raised legs, looked at them through his glasses, and did not understand what they might need and how they could all live without resolving the issues that occupied him. And he was occupied with the same questions from the very day he returned from Sokolniki after the duel and spent the first, painful, sleepless night; only now, in the solitude of the journey, they took possession of it with particular force. Whatever he began to think about, he returned to the same questions that he could not solve, and could not stop asking himself. It was as if the main screw on which his whole life rested was curled up in his head. The screw did not go further in, did not go out, but spun, without grabbing anything, all on the same groove, and it was impossible to stop turning it.
The superintendent entered and humbly began to ask his excellency to wait only two hours, after which he would give courier for his excellency (what will be, will be). The caretaker obviously lied and only wanted to get extra money from the traveler. “Was it bad or good?” Pierre asked himself. “It’s good for me, it’s bad for another passing by, but it’s inevitable for him, because he has nothing to eat: he said that an officer beat him up for this. And the officer nailed him because he had to go sooner. And I shot Dolokhov because I considered myself insulted, and Louis XVI was executed because he was considered a criminal, and a year later those who executed him were killed, also for something. What's wrong? What well? What should you love, what should you hate? Why live, and what am I? What is life, what is death? What power governs everything?” he asked himself. And there was no answer to any of these questions, except for one, not a logical answer, not at all to these questions. This answer was: “If you die, everything will end. You will die and you will know everything, or you will stop asking.” But it was also scary to die.
The Torzhkovskaya tradeswoman offered her goods in a shrill voice, and especially goat shoes. “I have hundreds of rubles, which I have nowhere to put, and she stands in a torn fur coat and looks timidly at me,” thought Pierre. And why do we need this money? Precisely for one hair, this money can add to her happiness, peace of mind? Can anything in the world make her and me less subject to evil and death? Death, which will end everything and which must come today or tomorrow - all the same in a moment, in comparison with eternity. And he again pressed the screw, which was not grasping anything, and the screw was still spinning in the same place.
His servant handed him a book of the novel, cut in half, in letters m me Suza. [Madame Susa.] He began to read about the suffering and virtuous struggle of some Amelie de Mansfeld. [to Amalia Mansfeld.] And why did she fight her seducer, he thought, when she loved him? God could not put into her soul aspirations contrary to His will. My ex-wife didn't fight and maybe she was right. Nothing has been found, Pierre told himself again, nothing has been invented. We can only know that we know nothing. And this is the highest degree of human wisdom.”
Everything in him and around him seemed to him confused, meaningless and disgusting. But in this very disgust for everything around him, Pierre found a kind of annoying pleasure.
“I dare to ask Your Excellency to make room for a little one, here for them,” said the caretaker, entering the room and leading another, stopped for lack of horses, passing by. The passer-by was a squat, broad-boned, yellow, wrinkled old man with overhanging gray eyebrows over shining, indefinite grayish eyes.
Pierre took his feet off the table, got up and lay down on the bed prepared for him, occasionally glancing at the newcomer, who, with a gloomy tired look, without looking at Pierre, was heavily undressing with the help of a servant. Left in a shabby, covered sheepskin coat and felted boots on thin, bony legs, the traveler sat down on the sofa, leaning his very large and wide at the temples, short-cropped head against the back and looked at Bezukhy. The strict, intelligent and penetrating expression of this look struck Pierre. He wanted to speak to the traveler, but when he was about to turn to him with a question about the road, the traveler had already closed his eyes and folded his wrinkled old hands, on the finger of one of which was a large cast-iron ring with the image of Adam's head, sat motionless, or resting, or about something thoughtfully and calmly thinking, as it seemed to Pierre. The passerby's servant was all covered with wrinkles, also a yellow old man, without a mustache and beard, which apparently had not been shaved off, and had never grown with him. The agile old servant was dismantling the cellar, preparing a tea table, and brought a boiling samovar. When everything was ready, the traveler opened his eyes, moved closer to the table and poured himself one glass of tea, poured another for the beardless old man and served it to him. Pierre began to feel anxiety and the need, and even the inevitability of entering into a conversation with this traveler.
I continue my excursion into history. I think it's very interesting, I hope you like it too!
The history of BRABUS is a chain of significant events, as a result of which automotive world received the most eminent tyuningatele. BRABUS is one of the most frequent guests on the pages of the Guinness Book of Records and the best tuning master of Mercedes.
The history of the company's creation is rather banal. It has been recorded since 1977, from the moment when in the German town of Bottrop, located in the west of Germany, entrepreneur Bodo Buschman and his partner named Klaus Brakman registered a small business. For a while, this company was quite successful in selling Mercedes-Benz cars. But for 1977, for the inhabitants of Germany, buying a car of this brand was not something out of the ordinary, so the enterprise did not shine with particular success. In order to increase sales, Bodo Buschman offered to sell cars with minor improvements. In this undertaking, he was supported by the partner and co-owner of the company, Klaus Brackmann. By the way, the company got its name from the first three letters of the founders of BRA-BUS. After some time, Bodo Bushman bought out his partner's share and became the sole owner of the company.
The business of fine-tuning cars in the Brabus company was delivered with German thoroughness. All work was carried out systematically, before the changes appearance and the interior of the car, sketches were first created, which, after discussion, turned into drawings of attachments and accessories. In order to make changes in the parameters of the chassis, special springs and shock absorbers were created in the workshops. Changes to the engine could be minor, for which they could only replace the camshaft. But most often, specialists assembled a completely different engine, in which many parameters were changed, including the dimensions of pistons and connecting rods. To work on these changes, the most talented designers and engineers were involved, the selection of which the owner of the company treated with great care.
The first tangible success of BRABUS came in 1985, when a Mercedes-Benz W201 equipped with a V-shaped 5.0 came out of the company's gates. liter engine capacity 250 Horse power. For his whirlwind temperament with someone's light feed, he received the nickname "four-seater AC Cobra."
The following year, 1986, brought BRABUS the first diploma, indicating an entry in the Guinness Book of Records. This year, the company's engineers developed an aerodynamic body kit, with the help of which the aerodynamic drag coefficient of the Mercedes-Benz W124 decreased to an unprecedented value of 0.26. Until now, this record is absolute, and the result has not yet been surpassed.
In 1987, on the initiative of Bodo Buschmann, a non-profit organization was formed in Germany - VDAT (Association of German Tuning Companies). The purpose of this organization was, first of all, to protect its business from the so-called "pirates" from Southeast Asia, who every day more and more intensified their attacks on tuning companies, releasing outwardly similar, but significantly inferior in quality copies, streamlining relations with government agencies, clients. Mr. Bodo Buschman, who is still chairman of the association to this day, proposed centralized quality control of manufactured products in order to prevent cheap fakes from entering the market. To date, this organization is a kind of professional union of tuning organizations, the largest in this area, which has about 100 members in its ranks.
BRABUS reached its true dawn in the 90s of the last century. These years were marked by a whole series of unique developments. The result of one of the significant works in April 1994, a tuned standard Mercedes V12 engine was presented to the public, which acquired a volume of 6871 cc and a power of 509 hp at 5750 rpm. In the autumn of the same year, the company's specialists created the most powerful engine in Germany with a capacity of 530 horsepower. the standard V12 with a volume of 6.9 liters was taken as the basis. New motor was offered for installation on cars of the W140 and W129 series.
In 1995, subjecting this engine further refinement, and installed on the Mercedes-Benz E190, Brabus released the world's fastest four-door sedan. The record of 330 km / h was recorded by representatives of the Guinness Book of Records, as evidenced by diplomas in a car showroom in the city of Bottrop. A little later, two more nominations of the Book of Records were awarded to the “big-eyed station wagon” Mercedes-Benz E211, which accelerated to 350 km / h and the Brabus M V12 jeep, created on the basis of mercedes-benz m-class, which was recognized as the most powerful in the SUV class, and the speed record of 260 km / h is unsurpassed to date.
By the mid-90s, the company employs 150 people, whose efforts produced about 500 cars a year. However, the company had a huge potential, it continued to develop actively, and by the end of 1999, after the reconstruction of production facilities, the company already employs 220 people. Car assembly is carried out at 85 posts. In addition to selling finished cars, this company is actively engaged in the sale of components and accessories. Production and warehouse premises occupy an area of 74,000 sq. m and another 36,000 set aside for a test site, where, as part of test programs, new developments are constantly being tested. BRABUS maintains the strictest quality control. All products are ISO 9001 certified. Smart-BRABUS is currently active in Bottrop with BRABUS and offers the full range of services for smart cars.
The company is especially proud of the project "Wolf in Sheep's Clothing", the essence of which is the production of outwardly indistinguishable from serial cars, under the hood of which a huge herd of very frisky horses can be hidden.
Although BRABUS is the court tuner of the Mercedes factory, after the conversion, the car loses the factory warranty, and BRABUS is forced to give its warranty on tuned cars. However, this is what attracts potential buyers to this company, although the cost standard car about 2-2.5 times lower. 
Brabus is known even to those who still dream of buying their first Mercedes-Benz. And by the way, the company from the German Bottrop was created relatively recently (compared to ABT, for example): in 1977 it was founded by Klaus Brackmann and Bodo Buschmann, composing the name of the new enterprise from the first three letters of their surnames.
Today Brabus has 2,500 employees in branches around the world, and more than 360 of them work at the company's headquarters in Bottrop. Every year, 17,500 “modified” cars come out from under the “scalpel” of the Brabusians, of which about 10,000 are smart, and the rest wear a three-beam Mercedes-Benz star. The annual turnover of the Brabus Group is 350 million euros, but keep in mind that the group of companies also includes Startech, which during the Daimler-Chrysler alliance tuned Chrysler, Jeep and Dodge, and then switched to Jaguar and Land Rover sedans and crossovers.

The "sphere of interest" of Brabus includes absolutely all components and assemblies that are only in the car and which - at least theoretically - can be made even better. Alcantara alter the interior, already trimmed with expensive Nappa leather; increase the power of the already powerful after the "surgery" in the AMG V12 engine; shove Apple equipment around the cabin of the minibus; to make the Mercedes air suspension work even softer - all this can and can be done at Brabus, decorating the resulting cars with their own logos with a recognizable black B replacing the Stuttgart star. Bodo Bushman, one of the founders of Brabus, calls himself and his colleagues great enthusiasts, not forgetting to add that all his employees are professionals, what to look for, and high-octane gasoline flows in the veins of all Brabusians without exception, and not at all beer or some kind of blood.
Some specifications cars before and after tuning in Brabus
– Mr. Buschmann, tell us, who is your client? Why does he need tuning at all - he already has a Mercedes-Benz ?!
“Our customers are individualists who need us to build them the cars of their dreams. Our clients love everything unusual and unique; in best quality and from the finest materials in the world. This is what we offer.
– Do you have many clients in Russia?
- Yes very many! I must say that Russia is definitely one of the key markets for Brabus, and it has been a pleasure for us to work in this country for more than 20 years.
- And the Russians have some general preferences in the Brabus line, some common feature in preference?
- Yes, your fellow citizens especially like the G-Class, which we "charge" up to 800 hp! I also like the Brabus 850 based on the S-Class with 850 hp. And of course, in Russia, Brabus iBusiness models based on the V-Class or Sprinter, turned into offices on wheels or mobile concert halls, are popular.
- Understand. I wouldn't say no to any of the things you listed. What car do you have?
“Depends on when and where I'm going. For every day I have a Brabus G-Class or Brabus GL. In the city I prefer our smart, but for business meetings I come to Brabus 850. Well, in the summer I love to ride SLS or SL-classes, of course, in the "processing" of Brabus!

- Can you single out any one car and call it ideal?
- To choose such a car, it is important to know what you are going to do with this car at a given time. Although I can name my version: Brabus G800 V12 with 800 hp.
– It must be difficult to work in Brabus and move around in a stock car. Surely your employees move exclusively in tuned cars, don't they?
– Good question. I don't think we ever paid attention to it. What is much more important to us is that the people who work here are enthusiastic and consummate professionals in their field. All our employees have gasoline in their blood. They come up with ideas for new products every day. And so we can produce interesting and unique cars for special customers, while maintaining the highest quality.
Do you follow what your competitors are doing? Maybe you can highlight someone special?
– You know, all my attention is focused on my work, which requires the utmost concentration. Unfortunately, I just don't have time to follow, much less admire other players in the market.
- Did Brabus have any desire to work with other brands?
– We actually already work with Mercedes-Benz – the best brand in the world! And this, as I said, takes up all our working time. At the same time, the Brabus group includes the tuning company Startech. range rover, Jaguar and Land Rover.
- How does Brabus get cars that it subsequently tunes?
– Three possible ways. Either we order directly from Mercedes-Benz, or we buy from local dealers (if the equipment we need is available), or we work with those machines that customers already own.
– Who and where produces the parts with which you tune cars? I'll clarify: do your components have hieroglyphs and "made in china" marks?
– No, all the details for tuning Brabus made in Germany!
– How long does it take to prepare a set of tuning accessories and turn an ordinary Mercedes-Benz into a Brabus?
– It takes from 3 months to 1 year to develop a tuning kit. It takes from 1 day to 3 months to complete a tuned car with our parts.

– Currently working on a development program new S-Class coupe. At the same time, we are working on a new V12 Biturbo for the S65 version with an incredible 900 hp. and 1500 Nm of torque - we will show the world premiere of this motor in Geneva [we talked with Bodo Buschmann just a few days before the start of the International Motor Show in Geneva].
– Mr. Buschmann, you often emphasize the outstanding power of Brabus engines. But when hybrids and electric vehicles replace gas and diesel internal combustion engines, and cars will drive without a driver, what will Brabus do then?
– Time will tell if the engines can internal combustion disappear completely. As motors become more and more efficient. They can sink into oblivion not in a year or two, but in a few decades. In addition, you should not lose sight of combined systems, such as hybrids.
But development continues on other models. There will be more Brabus in the future - hybrid and all-electric.
