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.
