What makes a Borrmann
Every donor car is different. Every Borrmann is unique. But the process is defined by six disciplines — each with its own expertise, each held to the same standard. The result is individual. The approach is not.
Engineering
The chassis is carefully inspected, reworked and, where its condition demands it, re-engineered from first principles. The original factory geometry remains the foundation – developed with intent for greater rigidity, longevity and a structure worthy of the character of the car.
Bodywork
Every panel is checked by hand and brought precisely to size. The body is worked down to the last detail – held to the standard of form, panel gaps and fit one expects of a new car.
Powertrain
Two powertrains are offered: a modern 6.2-litre V8 with 435 PS, or a fully electric drive. We make each a symbiosis of modern drive technology and the unmistakable character of the car.
Paint
The body is taken back to bare metal and primed against corrosion. Coat follows coat, hand-flatted between each, until every surface is true. The colour is chosen with the owner in the atelier under daylight; clear coat, wet sanding and polishing give it the depth of a finish built by hand.
Trim
Every hide is chosen for its character, feel and grain. Cutting and stitching are carried out with the greatest care and matched to one another. Material, lines and details work together – until the entire interior carries one shared design signature.
Testing
Every car is driven on public roads before delivery, by the engineer who built it. Only when every detail is right is it ready for handover.
Bespoke options
Alongside our six core disciplines, we offer two exceptional upgrades for selected projects – ones that turn craftsmanship into pure art.
SchrammWerk custom paint
For true one-offs, we work with the international custom painter Danny Schramm (SchrammWerk), who turns selected Borrmann cars into rolling works of art through masterful surface artistry.
Aluminium lightweight package
On request, we build the bonnet, the doors and the rear hatch – the boot lid on the roadster – entirely by hand from aluminium sheet. A tribute to classic motor racing that not only saves weight but takes the art of coachbuilding to its peak.
Finished where nobody looks
The underside is finished like the top side. The load bay is trimmed like the cabin. The brackets and fittings that no longer exist in any catalogue are machined in-house, because the alternative is a compromise that would show in ten years.
The foundation of Borrmann Motors
A childhood dream became a vision, and from that vision came Borrmann Motors. We do not build cars for the mass market, but dreams on wheels. A Borrmann carries the signature of three founders who put their names to perfection – and who remain your personal contact long after the keys are handed over.
Klaus Borrmann
“The Vision” – Responsible for design, brand identity and the lines of every project.
Dennis Zobel
“The Engineering” – Translates the dreams into precise geometry and mechanical perfection.
Paul Brettschneider
“The Promise” – Your direct contact from the first sketch to the handover of the keys at the atelier.
