DRIVEN BY LEGACY

What happens when you follow your dream, your passion, your ambition—and you absolutely refuse to let anybody or anything get in your way? This story begins with a person. With one man who saw possibility where others saw limits. That man was Bodo Buschmann. Not a man of half measures, but a life of bold decisions. In 1977, in Bottrop, the heart of Germany’s Ruhr region, his vision turned into an idea. That idea turned into a lifelong passion, and that passion is what built BRABUS.

Bodo was its voice, its soul, its driving force. Decades worth of cars, innovations that pushed boundaries, and for 42 years, he and his team kept pushing. Bodo didn't just build cars. He built a legacy on the belief that extraordinary was the only standard worth having. To him, a car was never just the means. It was the end. It was identity. He defined our future, he followed his passion, he made us who we are. And in the end, his legacy became our mission.

Yet one thing remained unfinished.
One concept. One car.

DESIGN & EXTERIOR. BORN FROM PASSION.

“I want to build a large coupe,” we would hear Bodo say time and again. “A Gran Turismo. Attitude-forward, high-class, unapologetic. I want it to be inspired by the golden age of the automobile, yet translated into modern day. Progressive, bold, effortless in its presence, powerful and undeniably BRABUS.” Now, we are honoring his name by finally bringing his vision to life. And, of course, it could only carry one name: BODO. Production is limited to 77 units worldwide, with annual production volumes ranging between 10 and 15 vehicles.

With the support of state-of-the-art Computer-Aided Design (CAD) technology, numerous iterations were developed until the BRABUS engineers, designers and production experts arrived at the perfect synthesis of striking aesthetics and uncompromising power. Slated for a top speed of 360 km/h (223 mph) since the first sketch of the BRABUS BODO was put to paper, aerodynamic efficiency also played a defining role throughout the entire engineering process, with strong vertical load and precise balance between the front and rear axles forming key pillars of the vehicle’s development.

To achieve this, the entire body—apart from the windows and fixed panoramic glass roof—was constructed from high-strength carbon fiber. Within BRABUS’ advanced composite manufacturing facilities, each individual component was formed using molds and then cured under controlled heat and pressure inside an autoclave. Particular emphasis was placed on perfect fitment, exemplary panel gaps and flawlessly smooth surface finishes.

POWER & SOUND. GRAN TURISMO.

The BRABUS BODO is equipped with a hand-built 5.2-liter V12 biturbo engine, featuring two flow-optimized four-valve cylinder heads and a fuel injection system engineered according to the latest technological standards. Complementing this is the BRABUS high-performance turbo system, consisting of a RAM-AIR airbox, highly efficient intercooling and two specially developed turbochargers.

This sophisticated powerplant produces a peak performance output of 735 kW / 1,000 hp at 6,400 rpm as well as a maximum torque of 1,200 Nm (885 lb-ft), which is available consistently between 2,900 and 5,000 rpm. Power is transmitted to the rear wheels via an eight-speed automatic transmission with a torque converter, which can also be operated manually using the carbon-fiber BRABUS paddle shifters at the steering wheel. The electronic differential regulates traction differences between the two driven wheels instantly, with up to 100 percent locking capability. The entire drivetrain is lubricated using high-performance fluids from technology partner MOTUL.

From a standstill, the 2+2-seater accelerates to 100 km/h (62 mph) in just 3.0 seconds. After 8.5 seconds, the Gran Turismo coupe reaches 200 km/h (124 mph). The sprint from 0 to 300 km/h (186 mph) is completed in just 23.9 seconds. Even at this point, the vehicle’s potential is far from exhausted: only at 360 km/h (223 mph) does an electronic limiter bring further acceleration to a halt.

WHEELS & CHASSIS. EFFORTLESS.

Complementing its low, wide stance, the 2+2-seater rolls on concave 21-inch BRABUS Monoblock Z-GT “Shadow Edition” forged wheels in size 9.5Jx21, fitted with 275/35 ZR 21 Continental SportContact 7 Force high-performance tires, developed exclusively for the BRABUS BODO. At the rear axle, 325/30 ZR 21 tires mounted on eleven-and-a-half-inch-wide wheels ensure optimal traction for the driven rear wheels as well as outstanding lateral stability during fast cornering. Manufactured using the latest forging technology and CNC machining, they feature 20 intricate, concavely shaped spokes, along with a center-lock-style hub cover. They not only offer exceptional strength but are also remarkably lightweight for their large dimensions. This reduces unsprung mass, resulting in more agile handling. A brand-typical black finish completes the look.

The suspension architecture of the BRABUS BODO combines a double wishbone front setup with a highly sophisticated multi-link rear axle. From the cockpit, the driver can select from five different driving modes, ranging from a comfort-oriented setup for everyday road use to a distinctly firm configuration designed for maximum performance on the racetrack. Furthermore, the BRABUS BODO is equipped with a lift system for both the front and rear axles, allowing the entire vehicle to be raised by approximately 25 millimeters (0.9 in.). Once a speed of 45 km/h (28 mph) is reached, the suspension automatically returns to its normal ride height.

INTERIOR. UNDENIABLY BRABUS.

In the in-house BRABUS upholstery workshop, the Masterpiece interior of the BRABUS BODO was designed with a clear focus on combining long-distance comfort, precise driver control and unmistakable craftsmanship. In keeping with the “Piano Black” exterior finish, the cabin is trimmed in smooth black leather and contrasting black Nubuck leather, underscored by a selection of carbon-fiber elements on the steering wheel, dashboard, center console and door panels. High-gloss BRABUS “Shadow Gray” accents on selected interior components further emphasize the technical and contemporary character of the cockpit.

Occupants of the Gran Turismo coupe are welcomed by stainless-steel BRABUS entry panels and the embroidered signature of the vehicle’s namesake integrated into the door panels. The ergonomically contoured seats are designed to provide both exceptional comfort and strong lateral support during dynamic driving. Smooth leather is used throughout the seat surfaces, side bolsters and the integrated headrests, while Nubuck leather sections on the center console and integrated armrests in the door panels enhance grip and stability for driver and passenger. The dynamic silhouette of the BRABUS BODO is additionally embroidered into the seat backrests as a bespoke design detail.

ENGINEERED WITHOUT COMPROMISE.

The BRABUS BODO combines exceptional craftsmanship, advanced engineering, and bespoke customization to create one of the world's most exclusive expedition vehicles.
