Brabus
Posted by detoadmin in Design, Exotic Cars, Garage, porsche on September 13th, 2011
Along my travels when I was in Cali last month, I made a stop to the infamous Mercedes-Benz tuner, Brabus.
Brabus is the upper echelon professional tuning and customization for Mercedes-Benz. Brabus USA also caters to Porsche and Land Rover as well. Customers can either buy cars straight from Brabus or send in their Mercedes to be customized and/or overhauled. If a customer orders a car from Brabus, Brabus buys the particular car from Mercedes and then modifies it in-house according to the customer’s requests.
Below is the elegant customer showroom, showcasing all of the endless customization options…
Brabus the name, doesn’t actually mean anything in German. Brabus is the first three letters of the two innovative gentleman’s last names that started the company back in 1977: Bodo Buschmann and Klaus Brackmann.
Anthony Hsieh of Brabus USA was kind enough to show me around the their beautiful facility.
Here you can see the set-up for a custom wide body.
A closer look…
So how do you make your Porsche Cayenne-turbo faster? Tech Art is the answer. Tech Art is the exclusive performance company offered through Brabus.
That’s one monster of a motor that’s about to become much, much more powerful…
Below is a small sample of accessories that are available through Brabus.
What I love so much about Brabus is that they can take the most tasteful vehicles money can buy and personalize them with perfect harmony as the were intended to be without interrupting the already flawless engineering. 
If you’re in the Irvine area of Southern California and want to set your German work of art apart from the rest, do your self a favor and visit Brabus USA.

I thought I’d share some pics from my trip to San Fran. Enjoy…
Here is a pic from our plane ride in.
Any time I travel to somewhere that I haven’t been before, I always take notice on the fashion and car culture that an area has. San Fran easily has both without over-doing itself. Here are a few random snaps I took just on the street.
This one threw me off for a sec. I can honestly say that I’ve never seen this swap done before, and I’ve seen alot.
Super clean Z on the street…
2-stroke on the street? Where I’m from, you only see these in the woods…
Playing with the wide lens…
While I was in San Francisco, I wanted to visit many of the designers and boutiques I had only seen on blogs. My first stop was at Black Scale, located right in Union Square.
Once inside, we were greeted by Rubin. He was super cool and was a major help in me navigating my way around town. If you’re in the area def check them out.

The store had a very clean look with a good use of space, considering they had 2 motorcycles on display…

Since we were in Japan town, we had to try the sushi and see how it fared against New York…
Ok, that didn’t last very long. After the first bite, I wanted to eat the plastic grass too…
No Rotas here…
LOL
Here’s a few pics of the shop…
Niki told me that they had recently gotten back from a race and all the
race cars were still loaded on the truck, except for this beautiful
Spoon Integra…
Some of the other cars being serviced…
Super clean Spoon EG
AE86
I caught this clean EG right outside of Autotech…
If you’re in the South San Fran area, check these guys out for all your Spoon needs!

The view landing back on the east coast…
Well, that’s it folks. That was my summarized trip to beautiful, laid-back San Francisco, California. Thanks for reading!

The owner of this garage known as “Nimrod” has built his garage out of recycled materials in the California’s Santa Cruz Mountains.
Charger Heaven
This dream garage was a local car dealership built in the 1950s that was renovated and turned into a museum, housing 35 Chargers, including 24 R/T Hemis.

My two favorite dream garages of all time were Iron man’s
