Brabus Bodo: A 1000-HP Tribute to the Founder Based on the Aston Martin Vanquish
Brabus unveils the Bodo, a limited-edition GT coupe based on the Aston Martin Vanquish. With 1000 hp and a striking carbon-fiber body, only 77 will be built.
Brabus has unveiled the Bodo, a large GT coupe based on the Aston Martin Vanquish. The car is named after company founder Bodo Buschmann, who dreamed of a true grand tourer rather than just a tuned engine and body kit.
The Bodo retains the Vanquish's roofline but little else. Brabus crafted a new carbon-fiber body with a boat-tail rear, a prominent grille, a deep front splitter, and a vented hood. The car is finished in black and sits on 21-inch Monoblock wheels. The brakes use six-piston calipers up front and four-piston at the rear.
Inside, the Aston Martin center console, digital instrument panel, and steering wheel carry over. Brabus adds quilted seats, carbon-fiber accents, and Mercedes-style air vents.
Power comes from a 5.2-liter twin-turbo V12. With new turbochargers, reworked cylinder heads, a revised fuel system, and a new exhaust, output climbs to 1000 hp. Torque is 1200 Nm. The coupe hits 60 mph in 3 seconds, and top speed is electronically limited to 359 km/h (223 mph).
Brabus will produce just 77 examples of the Bodo, building 10 to 15 per year. The price has not been announced.
