Brabus: All the most amazing cars. Tuning Atelier Brabus History Company Engines Private enterprise auto brabus

Tuning studio Brabus GmbH ("Brabus") was founded in 1977 in Germany by Klaus Brackmann and Bodo Buschmann. The main specialization of this company is motor and body tuning of cars of the brand mercedes benz (Mercedes Benz), as well as other vehicles manufactured by the Daimler concern ( Smart (Smart) And Maybach (Maybach)). It is one of the largest tuning studios in the world. The company is focused on expensive and exclusive tuning.

A feature of the work of Brabus is the strengthening of the technical characteristics of the engine. They are achieved by increasing engine power and torque.

Brabus' simple tuning programs feature low-profile tires, spoilers, aerodynamic body kits, forged wheels of their own design. More complex programs include modification of the technical stuffing of the car. So when upgrading the engine, the boring of the engine block is used, new pistons, crankshaft, valves and other parts are installed. Assembly and disassembly of the engine is carried out manually.

Tuning Brabus is primarily an aerodynamic body kit, which consists of a new bumper, side skirts and ventilated front fenders. Also included is a sports exhaust system, a lowering module that lowers the ride height by approximately 15mm, and alloy wheels with a diameter of 19.20.21 inches.

There are also tuning packages for upgrading the interior. The interior includes upholstery in higher quality leather or Alcantara. There are also door sill trims with the Brabus logo and an updated multimedia system with monitors.

The company achieved its first success in 1985. Then the specialists managed to develop a tuning package for the Mercedes-Benz W201. The car was upgraded with a V-shaped 5.0 liter engine with 250 horsepower, which for that time was a real breakthrough.

In 1986, Brabus entered the Guinness Book of Records. The tuning studio specialists developed an aerodynamic suspension, with the help of which the aerodynamic drag coefficient of the Mercedes-Benz W124 decreased to 0.26. This result has remained unsurpassed to this day.

More recently, in the spring of this year, the head of the Brabus atelier, B. Bushman, died. 41 years ago, barely over 20 years old, he organized the company Brabus GmbH with a friend, which later became known as Atelier Brabus. The founders did not bother with the name and tritely put it together from parts of their surnames.

At first, the company sold Mercedes, but as a result of a brainstorming session, the founding fathers came to the conclusion that one can become noticeable in this world only by doing an excellent job and moved on to a “serious” upgrade of Mercedes cars. Currently, Brabus is the largest and most respected tuning studio in the world. Successfully competing with similar firms:

1. Lorinser
2. Carlsson
3. Kleemann
4. RENNtech

A year before the end of the last century, Brabus merged into Daimler-Chrysler, becoming one of its divisions.

BRABUS(I)

Firm "Brabus" is based in Bushman's hometown - the German Bottrop. Mercedes-Benz Pullman is also produced in its workshops, and various tests are carried out at the test site. The company's staff is relatively small and amounts to several hundred people.

Setting as its task the achievement by the car, which is being tuned by Brabus, of almost ideally possible, at the time of creation, technical characteristics, this studio is practically at the forefront of technical and other types of progress. It is quite possible to feel this, not only by familiarizing yourself with the characteristics of a particular model and looking at it, but also by counting how many times the Brabus Atelier got into the pages of the Guinness Book of Records. The almost unattainable power and high speed of cars made by Brabus employees with a fairly well-designed design is the combination that determines the choice of people who buy Brabus cars or give their cars for a deep alteration. All this was acknowledged by Auto Motor und Sport 8 times, declaring brabus best tuner of the year.

For its first tuning, the company chose a Mercedes S class with a body. It was back in 1984. The series was not numerous and very expensive. Even now, more than 30 years later, these cars are as good as new. This is how the Brabus Atelier still works. A very good and expensive car is already taken, mainly from, refined to critically possible limits and, as a rule, an incomparable and very expensive car with the Brabus emblem is obtained. Well, the customer can stipulate some nuances that will be necessarily finalized to the ideal and thus implemented. Needless to say, all upgrade work is done manually.

BRABUS(II)

In one of his interviews, Bushman actively described the "charms" of a car with an electric engine and practically "buried" a gasoline engine. Residing in full confidence that the automotive industry and its deep tuning does not end there. He confidently said that the issue of charging is already being addressed everywhere. Including in the garage of the company there are parking spaces. Where does contactless battery charging take place? Enthusiastically talking about the small and magnificent Tesla Roadster electric racing cars, which again for the first time in the world were tuned by Brabus GmbH.

To eliminate such a “flaw” of an electric car as a quiet sound of movement to delight the ears of true racers. Brabus equipped the Tesla Roadster with a simulator of the "roar" of a conventional sports engine, and at the same time with some absolutely fantastic sounds for the fan and delight of fans of science fiction and not so science fiction.

The last project prepared by Bushman is the Brabus 800 Coupe, made on the basis of the Mercedes AMG C63 (automatic plus). After the work, the car produces eight hundred l / s. Accelerating to 100 in 3.9 seconds, but without exceeding the speed of 350 km / h due to rear-wheel drive and ultra-low profile tires.

History of the company

Bushman became interested in cars since childhood, as his parents had several salons selling Mercedes-Benz. That is why he and a friend followed in the footsteps of his parents. Arranging relevant sales. Taking advantage of their parents' connections, including renting their first office in the courtyard of their dealership. By the way, Bushman's partner quickly went out of business by selling his share for only a hundred German marks (this share is now worth millions). Soon the company moved to its new premises. The address of which is well known to all admirers of products with the Brabus brand: Brabus-Allee, Bottrop, 46240, Germany. In 1983, its first showroom was opened, in which a year later it presented the 190E V8 model with a C-class engine.

At the beginning of the 21st century, Brabus actively, but not to the detriment of working with Mercedes, began to engage in cars with an electric motor. Initially with the budget minicar model ("crazy stools") and Smart for Four, since 2008 with the Tesla Roadster sports car, and currently with the Tesla Model C and various Smart subcompact models.
Currently, dozens of offices, showrooms and other sites are operating around the world to receive orders, issue products and sell Brabus Atelier. Brabus is a special relationship that connects the company with solvent and oil "kings" and "sheikhs" who love its products, including those from the Middle East.

Interior after Tuning

Brabus not only remakes to order, but also produces luxury minibuses Mercedes-Benz Sprinter. Paying considerable attention to the alteration of the interior:

• Super-comfortable chairs are placed, comfortable and with many functions, including massage
• LED lighting including starry sky ceiling
• Comfortable tables available. Various sockets and connectors, wireless connection and "Wi-Fi", provide a convenient mode of continuous work, work with breaks or rest on the road.
• It is very convenient to follow what is happening around the bus from a monitor that transmits pictures from 4 cameras in a circular view mode

Brabus Rocket 900 "Gold of the Desert" is a unique car designed specifically for buyers from the Middle East. Special gold inserts are in tune with the “golden” body of the car and are diluted with carbon fiber trim.
Brabus Tesla Model S inside has become more luxurious, almost like a Mercedes. Signature seat trim with 'stitches' and 'B' badge. The rear seats are separated, and the color of the upholstery and rugs, allegedly white, “plays” with all shades from light gray to slightly bluish. To the right of the driver is a semi-sliding panel for charging iPhones, a cup holder, a drawer for storing “important little things” and so on.

Exterior after Tuning

The Brabus Mercedes-AMG GT S sports car received a unique exhaust system and stylish rims after the upgrade.

Mercedes AMG GLE 63 C Coupe received a similar tuning, which was replaced by another
bumper and grille.

But the tuning of the Tesla Model C electric car was limited only to changes in the interior and exterior:

• Installed carbon spoilers. Better reducing the coefficient of resistance of air masses and a diffuser, which gives greater stability when driving.
• The wheels were replaced with branded and stylish 21-inch Brabus Platinum with company nameplates.
• Removed all chrome trim parts and put carbon.

Brabus Rocket 900 "Desert Gold". The base model Mercedes S65 "Desert Gold" has been stripped of all chrome trim to match both the interior and exterior of the car in black and gold. A body painted with exclusive gold paint and tuning wheels with black discs leave a strong impression.

Engines after Tuning

The Brabus company is especially famous for tuning Mercedes engines. Knowing them thoroughly, sorting out the motors by hand. The company's specialists select the characteristics for this car in such a way that each such car is an exclusive work of technical art from Brabus.

The tuning package for the Mercedes AMG GLE 63C coupe includes a 0.5 liter engine upgrade. up to 6.0 l. and, accordingly, an increase in power by 265 l / s to 850 l / s. Brabus torque tends to be limited and the result is a pretty impressive SUV. Accelerates to 100 in 3.8 seconds at a top speed of 320 km / h, and this is the level of hypercars.

The sports model Mercedes AMG GT S already has impressive power figures - 510 l / s and 650 Nm. Craftsmen from Brabus "dispersed" up to 600 l / s, respectively. and 750 Nm. Therefore, acceleration to 100 takes only 3.6 seconds, and the maximum speed is 325 km / h.

The GLC 63 S SUV, “Brabus”, after tuning, brought it to the level of a GT-class car or supercars. And this is with an artificial limitation of torque and a maximum speed of 800 Nm and 300 km / h, respectively. An engine with a power of 600 l / s gives acceleration to 100 in 3.6 seconds.

Tuning 4×4

This high-clearance black extreme SUV, with bright blue tuning upholstery and red-painted parts of the twin-turbo engine, does not cease to admire as soon as you look at it for the first time.

It would seem that the engine power is increased by only 18% to 500 l / s, and the torque is even less, respectively, by 16% to 710 Nm, and acceleration to 100 km. per hour is not impressive - just a little less than 7 seconds. But for a car of this class, such an improvement is quite enough, especially since a seven-band automatic is installed. Moreover, its speed limit is specifically limited to 201 km/h. With two options for movement: sports and “go home”.

During the Brabus exterior upgrade, the SUV received an updated grille, xenon tinted headlights, as well as mirrors and carbon fiber wheel arches. The exhaust is originally brought to the side, as on all "hot rods". In addition, retractable steps, anti-sliding system are equipped. With an already very high ground clearance, having received additional protective elements, it has become even more reliable when traveling on poorly equipped roads and off-road.
Salon even for "Brabus" is too bright and extravagant. Blue iridescent color, branded "line" and in a Mercedes chic. Even the ceiling is upholstered in blue first-class leather. Well, what can we say about all sorts of "bells and whistles" with which he is crammed. Control on the buttons, including the settings are changed by the button located on the steering wheel and so on.

The information on this page of the site is provided solely for familiarization with the history of the brand.
Informative article in the section .

In the mid-70s of the last century, in the small German town of Bottrop, two aspiring entrepreneurs Bodo Buschmann and Klaus Brackmann registered a small tuning company.

Bushman's parents kept several Mercedes-Benz car dealerships, and therefore businessmen, who were familiar with this model of cars firsthand, started tuning them. The initial syllables of the two surnames gave the name of the company - Brabus.

The company developed, and after a while Bodo took over its helm, buying out his share from a business partner.

The well-known German pedantry and accuracy helped the company's specialists to establish tuning according to completely new schemes, and thoroughly gain a foothold in the German market. Therefore, the personnel were selected for work with the utmost care, withstanding the most stringent verification criteria.

The initial stage has always been the development of sketches and drawings, the selection of accessories and attachments for the car. The style of the interior appearance and interior of the car was selected, and technical workshops were engaged in the manufacture of shock absorbers, camshafts and springs.

Sometimes tuning consisted not only in replacing the camshaft, but also in changing other technical characteristics and parameters. There were times when the result of the work was a completely different engine.

The Mercedes-Benz W201 with a new 5-liter engine of 250 horsepower made a real sensation in the activities of Brabus. This miracle was born in 1985, attracting an increasing mass of admirers, admirers and journalists to Brabus. And just a year later, the company enters the Guinness Book of Records for the lowest drag coefficient for an E-class car - the Mercedes-Benz W124.

At the end of the 80s, the tuning development business in Germany began to undergo a crisis.

To protect their own interests and business, tuning companies decided to create their own corporation. It was called upon to work on strengthening legal relations with government services and centralizing the supply of tuning, in order to avoid cheap fakes. The non-profit organization VDAT, under the leadership of Bodo Buschman, has become the largest association of this level, with about 100 companies in its ranks.

By the end of the last millennium, BRABUS had achieved considerable popularity and mainstream success. A number of truly unique developments, following each other, were an indicator of the hard work of the company's specialists.

In 1995, the company produces a new development for a four-door sedan. This model turns out to be the fastest in the world at that time, and this is achieved, again, through innovations in the refinement of the E190 engines.

Another direct hit on the target - Mercedes-Benz E211. And again - the Guinness Book of Records. A versatile model with a speed of up to 350 km/h, and a modified Brabus M V12 SUV, recognized as the most powerful car in the world.

Brabus becomes an elite and very expensive brand. Realizing this, Bushman begins to develop a range of products for clients with average incomes. Without diminishing the quality and exclusivity of the parts, it simply changes the fundamental model of the assembly.

This service is still very popular with many of the company's customers. "Horsepower in a box" - this is what the network of specialized developments under the order and their delivery to the client by mail was called. Then the customer himself chose workshops or car services, where a new car model was assembled.

The business developed and Bushman developed a network of car dealerships, workshops, attracting an increasing number of specialists to work. By 2000, he completes a project to reconstruct the company's production area, automating and computerizing his production. On areas of about 75 thousand square meters. m work not much more than 350 people.

Another of the new Brabus rules was the warranty on tuning products. The new engines of this company cost their customers about 30-40 thousand dollars.

By approaching tuning as a technically creative process, Brabus has never questioned what is more important for high-end cars - speed or appearance. The company's employees, its managers and technicians, increasing reliability and quality every day, believe that one is inseparable from the other for Mercedes cars.
