German Mercedes-Benz tuner founded 1977. Specializes in extreme performance and luxury modifications for Mercedes models, including the famous Brabus Rocket.
Brabus is a German Mercedes-Benz tuner house founded in 1977 by Klaus Brackmann and Bodo Buschmann (the name combines BR from Brackmann and BUS from Buschmann). The company specializes in extreme performance and luxury modifications for Mercedes-Benz vehicles, with the brand identity centered on aggressive aerodynamics, expanded engine outputs, and elaborate interior detailing.
The Brabus Rocket and various Brabus-tuned AMG cars are the company headline products. The Brabus Rocket 800 (based on the CLS class) was once one of the fastest production sedans in the world. More recent Brabus products include extreme G-Wagen builds (Brabus 800 G-Class with 800 horsepower), tuned EQS sedans, and various S-Class luxury enhancements. The company also produces complete bespoke vehicles built to client specifications.
Brabus parts are available across nearly every Mercedes-Benz product line. Common Brabus modifications include engine tunes (often adding 100-300+ horsepower), aerodynamic body kits (front bumpers, side skirts, rear bumpers), interior enhancements (premium leather, custom stitching, carbon fiber), and audio system upgrades. Pricing reflects the boutique nature; a complete Brabus conversion can cost $100,000-$500,000+ on top of the original Mercedes purchase.
