Editing Brabus (section)

== History ==
The company began with Bodo Buschmann wanting to customise his cars. Discovering most existing customisers could not grasp his vision or meet his requirements, he started his own brand. Brabus GmbH was registered in 1977 in [[West Germany]] with Buschmann's friend Klaus Brackmann to satisfy German law requiring a company to be established with at least two people. The company name was derived from the first three characters of the founders' surnames ('''Bra'''ckmann, '''Bus'''chmann). Following the company's foundation, Brackmann sold his company shares to Buschmann for 100 euros.<ref>{{cite web| url= http://am.u-car.com.tw/17306.html |title=惡魔奔馳秀－Brabus改裝廠巡禮(上) |first=Chen |last=Oingi |date=31 October 2012 |website=am.u-car.com.tw |language=Chinese |access-date=17 September 2022}}</ref>
