“We are incredibly proud that the readers of ‘auto motor und sport’ have honored the outstanding work of the entire BRABUS team for the 19th time,” says a delighted BRABUS CEO Constantin Buschmann. “We will continue to work hard to keep earning this trust in the future and to develop further fascinating BRABUS supercars and products.”

With their resounding vote, the knowledgeable readers once again rewarded the strategy of the company founded in 1977, which for a long time now has been more than simply the world’s largest independent automotive tuner. And which in this field no longer focuses solely on exclusive accessories for vehicles from the Mercedes-Benz Group, but also offers tailor-made customization for various vehicles from Porsche, Range Rover and Rolls-Royce.

Coveted around the world are the BRABUS supercars, which combine outstanding performance with extravagant design and highest-quality workmanship. The latest coachbuilding highlight from the Bottrop-based luxury brand is the BRABUS ROCKET GTS, the unique Hyper Gran Turismo Shooting Brake with exposed-structure carbon bodywork and a hybrid drive with a system output of 735 kW / 1,000 hp and a peak torque of 1,820 Nm. Just as extraordinary, albeit in an entirely different way, is the BRABUS BIG BOY 1200, the first BRABUS MASTERPIECE motorhome, which offers luxurious comfort on a length of 12 meters and on more than 30 square meters of living space.

BRABUS engineering in a class of its own is represented by exclusive supercars built to customer order, such as the spectacular BRABUS XLP 900 6x6 pickup with six-wheel drive and BRABUS ROCKET 900 4.5-liter V8 twin-turbo engine, which produces an output of 662 kW / 900 hp and 1,250 Nm of torque.

For the construction, design and production of all supercars and tuning components, the BRABUS engineers, technicians and designers can draw upon the immense know-how that the German company has amassed in the now more than 45 years of its existence. What is more: Also at their disposal are state-of-the-art CAD and simulation technologies, the engine shop equipped with high-tech machinery, two own plants for the production of carbon components, and an upholstery shop for the manufacture of the BRABUS MASTERPIECE interiors. However, just as imperative is the outstanding staff, which includes a number of specialists who have already been with the company for more than four decades.

Also of prime importance is the technology partnership with leading manufacturers of high-performance automotive components. In this regard, BRABUS places its trust in the cooperation with tire manufacturers Continental and Hankook. But that’s not all: MOTUL high-performance lubricants are just as essential for the renowned reliability of all BRABUS engines as suspension components developed together with KW are for the equally agile and safe handling of the BRABUS supercars.

Maximum quality is also the key in the manufacture of the BRABUS Monoblock wheels, which today culminate in the “PLATINUM EDITION” rims with diameters of up to 24 inches. They are produced using high-end forging and machining technologies. The BRABUS sports exhaust systems with active sound management likewise are the result of sophisticated engineering and precision production.

BRABUS supercars and components are sold via a worldwide sales network comprised of importers and dealers in over 100 countries. In the United Arab Emirates, the luxury brand is present with its own technology and sales center and also operates the world’s first BRABUS Boutique in one of Dubai’s key hotspots. A wholly owned BRABUS subsidiary in California serves the tremendously important North American market.

The BRABUS 1-Second-Wow Effect can not only be experienced on four or six wheels: The portfolio also includes exclusive high-performance motorcycles and the BRABUS Marine sport boats. In addition, the BRABUS Fashion Collection offers extravagantly designed, exciting accessories of the highest quality.

Fans of precious vintage Mercedes-Benz cars also find their perfect partner in Bottrop. A BRABUS Classic 6-Star Restoration involves thousands of hours of precision work, during which the experts of the BRABUS Classic Division return automotive legends bearing the three-pointed star to mint condition.
