Der Bodo erinnert zwar aus manchen Perspektiven an eine Mercedes-Studie auf Steroiden, wird aber in einer Kleinserie von 77 Exemplaren gefertigt.
Außerdem fußt der Bodo nicht auf AMG-, sondern auf Aston Martin-Technologie.

Overview

  • Brabus unveiled the Bodo on Monday, introducing an independently styled 2+2 grand tourer built under its own name.
  • The coupe runs a Brabus‑tuned 5.2‑liter twin‑turbo V12 rated at 1,000 PS and 1,200 Nm with company‑claimed 0–100 km/h in 3.0 seconds and a 360 km/h top speed.
  • An Aston Martin Vanquish aluminum chassis sits beneath a full carbon body with an active rear spoiler and diffuser plus a KW‑developed adaptive suspension and a lift system.
  • Production is limited to 77 cars with pricing around €1,000,000 before tax, which equates to about €1,190,000 with German VAT.
  • The car is a tribute to late founder Bodo Buschmann as CEO Constantin Buschmann uses it to pivot Brabus into coachbuilt, collector‑focused grand tourers.
