BRABUS Goes Ultra-Sleek With its 1,000 HP, Long-Wheelbase "BODO" Masterpiece

Merging raw hypercar power with unprecedented silhouette refinement, the new BODO stands as the boldest and most visually striking aesthetic evolution in the history of the BRABUS brand.

BRABUS

The German luxury mobility brand BRABUS has officially unveiled the BRABUS “BODO,” a newly developed, strictly limited coachbuilt 2+2-seater Gran Turismo coupe. This Masterpiece supercar was unveiled live on stage at the esteemed FuoriConcorso event by Lake Como, Italy, as a tribute to the brand's late founder, Bodo Buschmann.

The BODO, derived from the Aston Martin Vanquish and predominantly composed of high-strength carbon fiber through a sophisticated pre-preg autoclave method, presents a sculptural profile engineered to harmonize high-speed stability with the brand's distinctive "1-Second-Wow" design ethos. The lightweight composite structure is essential for achieving an exceptionally low dry weight of 1,774 kg for a vehicle exceeding 16.4 feet in length. The bold façade features distinctive LED matrix headlights, a bespoke 13-slat radiator grille, and substantial RAM-AIR ducts for optimal induction. Active aerodynamics characterize the rear section, with an electrically deployed two-stage spoiler that dynamically modifies downforce or functions as an immediate air brake during rapid deceleration over 87 mph. The core of the coachbuilt creation is a custom, hand-assembled 5.2L V12 bi-turbo engine that produces 1,000 horsepower at 6,400 rpm and a sustained torque of 885 lb-ft. Power is transmitted straight to the rear wheels through an eight-speed automatic transmission equipped with an electronic locking differential. BODO accelerates from 0 to 100 km/h in 3 seconds, reaches 300 km/h in 23.9 seconds, and continues to accelerate until it attains an electronically restricted maximum speed of 360 km/h (about 224 mph).

BRABUS

BODO is equipped with exclusive 21” BRABUS Monoblock Z-GT “Shadow Edition” forged wheels, complemented by custom SportContact 7 Force high-performance tires, exclusively developed in collaboration with technology partner Continental. Six-piston front and four-piston rear calipers exert pressure on ventilated, perforated carbon-ceramic composite brake discs to guarantee fade-resistant braking performance. The chassis has an electronically regulated KW aluminum coilover system with five separate driving modes—Wet, GT, Sport, Sport+, and Individual—enabling the driver to promptly adjust the adaptive damping, suspension lift system, and engine mapping from the cockpit.

The interior aesthetics persist, with a custom Masterpiece cockpit meticulously handcrafted in BRABUS's in-house upholstery studio. The inside features a discreet "Piano Black" and "Shadow Gray" color scheme, adorned with high-quality leathers and meticulous stitching in the exclusive BRABUS "Shell" style. Exposed carbon fiber adorns the dashboard, center console, and flat-bottomed steering wheel. The founder's signature is intricately embroidered into the door panels, while the elegant silhouette of the coupe is stitched into the seat backrests.

The BRABUS “BODO” is exclusively limited to 77 units globally, constructed totally to the particular requirements of each purchaser. The base price commences at precisely €1,000,000 EUR, equivalent to slightly over $1,162,600 USD.
