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 the three-beam star of Mercedes-Benz. 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 technical characteristics of 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 the best quality and from the best 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.
- Do Russians have any common preferences in the Brabus line, some common feature in preferences?
- 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 Startech, which tunes 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 Brabus tuning parts are 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.

– Who sells your parts and provides tuning services in Russia?
– Our official importer in Russia is "Alarm Service Rublyovka" (Moscow). They even have an Internet address Brabus dot Ru. There is also a partner in Ukraine - it is Aertech LLC.
- What is Brabus working on now?
– At the moment, we are working on a program to refine the 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 Buschman 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 petrol and diesel engines, and cars are driven without a driver, what will Brabus do then?
“Time will tell if internal combustion engines can completely disappear. 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.
The history of BRABUS is a chain of significant events, as a result of which the automotive world received the most eminent tuning company. BRABUS is one of the most frequent guests on the pages of the Guinness Book of Records and the best tuning master of Mercedes.
In 1995, having subjected this engine to additional 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 in 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 the Mercedes Class M, which was recognized as the most powerful in the SUV class, and the speed record was 260 km/h so far is unsurpassed.
By the mid-90s, the state 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, BRABUS is actively engaged in the sale of components and accessories, such as Brabus wheels for Mercedes. 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. The strictest quality control is debugged. All manufactured products are certified according to ISO 9001. Currently, Smart Brabus operates in Bottrop together with BRABUS, offering a 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 the company is forced to give its warranty on tuned cars. However, this is what attracts potential buyers to this company, although the price of a standard car is about 2-2.5 times lower.
The world-famous Brabus company since 1977 began to change many standard models of the Mercedes company, and began to install it on its company logo. The tuning itself from "Brabus" is not limited to any specific classes of cars. Tuning studio engineers produce (change) and, and GL-Class, and Sprinter, and S-Class cars, and even more exotic cars like the Unimog. Dear readers, friends, our edition of the site offers you an overview of the most exciting models from the company "Brabus", which have been redone (changed) by her over a given period of time.
Having once started its activity with ordinary tuning, the Brabus company has become today a full-fledged and well-known car manufacturer in the world. This company was founded in 1977 by Bodo Buschmann and Klaus Brackmann. The name of the tuning studio itself was formed from the initial letters of the names of the founders of the company. In 1999, the company entered the Daimler-Chrysler group of companies.
For all 40 years, "Brabus" has been making a deep alteration of all, both to order and releasing its own individual models, which can be purchased from scratch (from scratch) in finished form. For example, the Brabus company can do (create) tuning for both Mercedes A-class and G-class cars, and is ready to upgrade even more exclusive models of cars, such as a car. Among other things, it is known that the company tunes not only Mercedes, but is also ready to upgrade (change) any other cars that are represented on the entire global car market. We want to present you the most powerful and exclusive models of cars from the Brabus company. And so, we begin.

In the end, we have the following indicator, the car is able to accelerate to 100 km / h in just 3.7 seconds.
The maximum speed of the car after tuning work reached 320 km / h, all this thanks to the lightweight body of the car, which uses carbon components (alloys) instead of steel parts, as well as due to a powerful tuning upgrade of the engine itself. Warranty for the car - 3 years or 100 thousand kilometers.
Brabus 700.
This exclusive car is created and based on the car model. The model was built (modified) by Brabus specifically for the United Arab Emirates, where it is in great demand.

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 always 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 at 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, who was 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.
The price of the Mercedes Brabus, manufactured by Brabus GmbH, may seem fantastic to many. This is a famous German company located in Bottrop and engaged in independent production, restyling and tuning of the Mercedes-Benz automaker.
The main activity is the tuning of engines and car body parts.
General characteristics of the company
The history of the company dates back to 1977, when two German engineers - Brakman and Bushman, decided to create a company that would improve existing serial car models. The name of the company was taken from the names of the founders. Today, the company is considered the largest tuning studio in the world, and in 1999 it became one of the divisions of the Daimler-Chrysler concern.
The company has only a few major competitors - this is the "native" studio of Mercedes AMG, Karlsson Autotechnik, Lorinser, Renntech and Kleemann. And if representatives of other studios on the road are not so often met (except for the famous AMG versions), then Mercedes Benz Brabus can often be found on the roads of large cities.
The main features of tuning Brabus
Each company pays attention to certain details and parts of the car. Some focus solely on visual changes (be it airbrushing, rims, interior trim, linings, etc.), others focus on aerodynamics, and still others focus on performance.
The perfect car from Brabus
The Mercedes Benz lineup includes more real SUVs than lightweight models. Such jeeps surprise their owners with high cross-country ability in any conditions and on any roads. It is these cars that are the favorites of the Brabus tuning car company.
Mercedes Benz Brabus is a combination of all the above tasks of a tuning studio - the end result is an almost perfect car (if possible, given the highest factory specifications of Mercedes).
Note that the studio is not engaged in a radical alteration of cars - when examining and comparing a regular Mercedes and Mercedes Benz Brabus, the layman is unlikely to notice significant differences - a replaced nameplate, new body kits, possibly carefully designed optics and characteristic Brabus wheels for Mercedes. Once in the car, the same layman will be able to see new differences - a carefully designed interior, taking into account the wishes of the customer, as ergonomic and comfortable as possible. And the same person will be able to see the greatest difference when the Mercedes Brabus car shows maximum power and performance compared to other competitors.
The entire range of SUVs and crossovers from Mercedes is presented in this article. Do you want to know about the features of the Mercedes Gelandewagen? Read.
Performance, dynamics and speed
The atelier specializes in achieving the highest levels of performance, dynamics and speed in cars by modifying the torque and engine design of cars to achieve this. The end result is a super-powerful car.
The Mercedes G Brabus can serve as evidence of this - on average, the G-Classe has sufficient power, but tuning the Mercedes Brabus increases the power to 600-670 hp.
Note that along with changes in the engine, a deep reworking of the suspension, transmission and the entire chassis is being carried out - the company has been setting world records for power among crossovers and SUVs since 1996, and this means that the image of the best must be constantly maintained.
Given all of the above, Mercedes Brabus prices are above average. So, a slightly tuned serial Mercedes, regardless of class, acquires 100% of the cost.
