BRABUS: The Ultimate in Performance and Prestige.

When it comes to high-performance motoring, few names command the same respect as BRABUS. Since 1977, this German powerhouse has taken already outstanding vehicles and elevated them into something truly extraordinary. A BRABUS isn’t just a car — it’s a statement of individuality, craftsmanship, and engineering mastery.

Why BRABUS?

Every BRABUS model begins with precision tuning and bespoke engineering. We’re not talking about bolt-on styling parts — BRABUS redefines what’s possible with cutting-edge aerodynamics, uprated powertrains, handcrafted interiors, and performance exhaust systems that are tuned for both sound and efficiency. The result? Vehicles that deliver unrivalled power, sharper response, and a driving experience unlike anything else on the road.

For collectors and enthusiasts, BRABUS represents the pinnacle of desirability. From record-breaking performance figures to hand-stitched interiors and exclusive styling, BRABUS vehicles hold their value, turn heads, and carry a level of prestige that few marques in the world can match.

The Smart BRABUS – Small but Mighty

One of BRABUS’ most exciting collaborations has been with Smart. The Smart BRABUS is proof that big performance can come in a compact package. Factory-built Smart BRABUS models roll off the line with uprated engines, tuned suspension, distinctive styling, and that unmistakable BRABUS character. They’re agile, stylish, and incredibly fun to drive — a rare combination that makes them highly desirable in the city car segment.

Which other vehicles Can Be BRABUS?

BRABUS is most closely tied to Mercedes-Benz, with famous conversions across the AMG and G-Class ranges, but their expertise extends further. BRABUS offers bespoke upgrades and complete builds for:

  • Mercedes-Benz (including AMG and Mercedes-Maybach)

  • Smart

  • Porsche

  • Range Rover

  • Rolls Royce

Factory Model or Conversion – The Choice is Yours

Some vehicles, like the Smart BRABUS, are built as full BRABUS editions from the factory. But what makes BRABUS even more exciting is that existing cars can be transformed into BRABUS masterpieces through official upgrade packages. At Armstrong’s Autobody, we can source and install genuine BRABUS components — from performance exhausts and wheels to interior refinements and complete bodywork enhancements. These conversions don’t just look the part; they’re engineered to the exacting standards of BRABUS in Germany.

Why Armstrong’s?

As New Zealand’s Brabus Certified Centre, Armstrong’s Autobody brings this world of exclusivity and performance closer than ever. Our technicians are trained to BRABUS standards, we use only genuine BRABUS parts, and our refinishing and repair methods are approved at the highest level. Whether you want to maintain, restore, or upgrade your BRABUS, we ensure every detail meets the prestige of the badge.
