Cars of Braquo TV Series

Braquo is a French TV series about cops, mobsters and the unofficial stars of the show, the incredible fleet of European Cars. These cars, almost exclusively in black, underpin the drama as they are stolen, torched, shot-at, rebirthed, shipped to or from Eastern Europe and generally driven to their full potential. If you enjoyed The Killing (Forbrydelsen), The Bridge (Bron Broen) or Spiral (Engrenages), you'll really enjoy this one. Read more about Braquo here.

Below: The name you'll hear over and over again: Eddy Caplan.


Here are some of the cars that make quite an impression across the three seasons. Note there were countless Peugeots, Renaults and Citroens which don't make the cut unfortunately, along with many other vehicles which don't play a larger role in the drama.

Another show I love with a great car is The Bridge. Click here to see The Bridge's Porsche 911.
