Brabus Bodo Dominates Hypercars: 1,000 HP V12, 360 km/h Top Speed, Only 77 Units Worldwide
Brabus unveils the Bodo hypercoupe with a 1,000 HP V12 and a 360 km/h top speed; it's limited to 77 units globally.
German tuning giant Brabus has revealed the all-new Brabus Bodo, an ultra-exclusive 1,000 hp grand tourer created as a tribute to the company’s late founder, Bodo Buschmann. Based on the Aston Martin Vanquish, the limited-production coupe combines aggressive carbon-fiber styling, luxury-focused interiors, and massive V12 performance. Brabus has confirmed that only 77 units of the Bodō will be produced globally, making it one of the rarest hyper GTs in the world.
The exterior design of the Brabus Bodo is far more aggressive than the standard Vanquish. It features a sculpted bonnet, a redesigned bumper, large air intakes, and extensive use of exposed carbon fiber across the body. The sleek coupe roofline flows into a dramatic rear section featuring slim LED taillamps, illuminated Brabus lettering, a huge diffuser, and quad exhaust tips. One of the biggest highlights is the active rear spoiler, which automatically adjusts depending on speed and driving conditions to improve aerodynamics and stability.
The Brabus Bodo rides on 21-inch forged Monoblock alloy wheels finished in black and wrapped in specially developed Continental tires. Underneath, the car uses an aluminum platform combined with lightweight carbon-fiber body panels to control weight, though it still tips the scales at around 1,910 kg. Brabus has also added adaptive suspension developed alongside KW Automotive, offering multiple driving modes including Wet and Super+ for different performance settings.

Inside the cabin, the Brabus Bodo retains some elements from the Aston Martin Vanquish, including the digital displays and infotainment setup, but receives extensive Brabus-specific customization. The interior gets black leather upholstery, Alcantara inserts, exposed carbon fiber detailing, and custom stitching throughout the cabin. Buyers can personalize nearly every surface, while Bodo Buschmann’s signature has been added to the door pads as a tribute to the founder. The coupe also features a panoramic glass roof, carbon-fiber paddle shifters, and a 2+2 seating layout.
Powering the Brabus Bodo is a monstrous 5.2-liter twin-turbocharged V12 petrol engine producing 1,000 hp and 1,200 Nm of torque. The power is sent to the rear wheels through an 8-speed automatic gearbox, helping the coupe sprint from 0 to 100 km/h in around 3 seconds. Brabus claims the Bodo can achieve a top speed of 360 km/h, placing it among the fastest grand tourers currently on sale globally.
Production of the Brabus Bodo will be limited to just 77 units, honoring 1977, the year Brabus was founded. Prices are expected to start at around 1 million euros before taxes and optional customization packages. With extreme performance, bespoke styling, and exclusivity, the Brabus Bodo stands as one of the boldest creations ever produced by the German performance brand.
