Brabus is a world-famous tuning studio that modernizes cars of various makes and models. The main activity of the Brabus studio is Mercedes cars, the most popular of which is Gelandewagen.
Despite the fact that during the entire period of production of the Gelandewagen several modifications were released, including the “charged” version of the AMG, many motorists prefer to go to a tuning studio for their own Brabus Gelendvagen car.
Company History
The Brabus tuning studio was founded in 1977 by two German engineers - Brakman and Bushman, who decided to professionally engage in the modernization of serial car models. The combined names of the founders began to be used as the name of the company. In 1999, the tuning studio merged with the Daimler-Chrysler concern, and today it is considered the largest and most famous in the world.
The popularity, demand and elitism of Brabus did not save it from the appearance of competitors - Mercedes AMG, Lorinser, Karlsson Autotechnik,Kleemann and Renntech. However, it is worth noting that it is Brabus cars that can be found on city streets, while the creations of other tuning studios are extremely rare.

Tuning studio Brabus in honor of the thirtieth anniversary of Gelandewagen, celebrated in 2009, released an upgraded version of the G-class car. The car from Brabus received minimal changes to the exterior and interior:

- An aerodynamic shield has been installed at the bottom of the engine compartment.
- Body and rims offered in black.
- Sills with Brabus branding appeared on the door sills.
- The interior was made of genuine high-quality black leather.
As a result, even from the photo of the car from Brabus, we can say that the upgraded version of Gelandewagen received an aggressive and severe design.
However, the main highlight of the work done by the engineers of the tuning studio is the technical characteristics of the car. Gelandewagen Brabus was equipped with a 6.3-liter 12-cylinder biturbo engine with 700 horsepower. Paired with him was a five-speed automatic transmission.
Better performance has reduced the acceleration time to 4.3 seconds and raised the top speed to 280 km/h, but it is electronically limited to 240 km/h. square and sever althe clumsy appearance of the SUV does not match its technical parameters, power and agility, which cannot but surprise.
