The Brabus Bodo Makes Aston’s Vanquish Look Underpowered And Cheap

Key Points:

• Brabus has officially unveiled the limited-edition Bodo, a Gran Turismo honoring founder Bodo Buschmann, with only 77 units available worldwide, debuting at the FuoriConcorso event in Italy.
• The design draws loosely from the Aston Martin Vanquish, featuring a carbon fiber body, aggressive front end inspired by the Vision Mercedes-Maybach 6 and Ford Mustang RTR, and aerodynamic elements like a deployable rear spoiler acting as an air brake.
• Powered by a twin-turbo 5.2-liter V12 engine producing 986 hp and 885 lb-ft of torque, the Bodo accelerates from 0-62 mph in 3 seconds and reaches a top speed of 223 mph, surpassing the Vanquish’s performance figures.
• The interior is a refined 2+2 layout derived from the Vanquish, with premium leather, carbon fiber trim, redesigned dashboard elements, and ergonomically contoured seats embroidered with the car’s silhouette.
• Priced at €1 million ($1.16 million), the Bodo includes exclusive features like a leather weekender bag and a blockchain-based digital product passport for verified authenticity and ownership documentation.
