Brabus GmbH is a German high-performance automotive aftermarket tuning company founded in 1977 in Bottrop, Germany. Brabus specializes in Mercedes-Benz, Smart and Maybach vehicles. Brabus is the largest Mercedes-Benz tuner after Mercedes-AMG, which has been a Daimler AG subsidiary since the 1990s. The company began with Bodo Buschmann wanting to customize his cars, but discovered most existing customizers could not grasp his vision or meet his requirements, so he decided to start his own brand. After Buschmann had decided to start his own brand, Brabus GmbH was originally registered in 1977 in West Germany with Buschmann's friend Klaus Brackmann because German law required a company must be established with at least two people. The company name was derived from the first three characters of the founders' surnames (Brackmann, Buschmann). Following the company's foundation, Brackmann did not show interests in modifying vehicles or running a business, so he sold his company shares to Buschmann for 100 euros. Brabus's primary focus is to achieve maximum car performance through the increase of horsepower and movement. Customers can either buy cars from Brabus, or send in their car to be customized and/or overhauled. Brabus is known for providing high-end tuning. Brabus also offers cosmetic modifications including low profile spoilers, bodykits, carbon fiber splitters, and multi-piece alloy wheels. Other upgrades include racing LSDs, open racing exhaust systems, twelve-piston disc brakes, and engine remapping. Customers can also have complete engine overhauls, or have new crate engines from AMG modified for them. Brabus engines range from small 200 horsepower blocks for SLK roadsters and CLK-Class to the 900 horsepower twin-turbo blocks for the S-Class. The company also provides improvements to the interior from custom upholstery, gauges, shift knobs, pedals, and trim to various electronics such as wider LCD screens for the Maybach. Our Brabus is the G V12 model which is based on the G500 from 2004.

The car was completely converted to a Brabus G V12 in 2006 and later upgraded with the facelift bodykit. Some of the upgrades include a Brabus enlarged 6.3L V12 engine with sports catalytic converters producing 610hp and 1006 Nm, Brabus high efficiency brake system, Brabus wheels, Brabus special chassis, bodykit, etc. There is also an amazing Alpine stereo installed in the car with a paring of subwoofers in the boot. But don`t be fooled by the badges, which are not fully correct. The car has spent a lot of time in Dubai but was imported into Europe in 2018. The current owner has had the car for 2 years and has spent 22.000 euros at the local Mercedes dealership to make sure the car is in great working order. At the moment the car is a 2 seater and can be registered as a `light truck` but the original Brabus rear seats do come with the car.
