Brabus Unveils Bodo, a 1,000-HP Coachbuilt V12 GT Limited to 77 Cars

The €1 million 2+2 pays tribute to founder Bodo Buschmann, signaling Brabus’s first true coachbuilt halo.

Overview

  • Brabus revealed the Bodo as its first coachbuilt model, a bespoke 2+2 grand tourer with a claimed 1,000 hp twin‑turbo 5.2‑liter V12.
  • The company cites 0–62 mph in about 3.0 seconds with an electronically limited 223 mph top speed, pending independent testing.
  • The car uses a carbon‑fiber body, carbon‑ceramic brakes, KW electronic coilovers, and bespoke Continental SportContact 7 Force tires.
  • Coverage disagrees on the donor chassis, with multiple outlets reporting an Aston Martin Vanquish base while leaked‑photo analysis points to a Mercedes‑AMG SL.
  • Production is capped at 77 units at roughly €1 million each, positioning the Bodo as a scarce halo GT for collectors ahead of Brabus’s anniversary.
