Recently, German tuner Brabus teased a new car on their social media. The teaser images didn’t reveal much, except for a unique ’77’ logo, and hinted at a sleek coupe body style.
In case you’re wondering what Brabus has been up to, this is it – the Brabus Bodo, a new front-engined coupe with a sinister design, in true Brabus style. The car is named after the company’s founder Bodo Buschmann, and the ’77’ logo is a nod to the year when the company was established in Bottrop, Germany.
The Brabus Bodo is likely to be based on the new Mercedes-Benz SL. The exterior design appears to be inspired by the Vision Maybach 6 concept. It features a long hood with a prominent crease in the centre and a sharknose-style front end. It has massively flared rear fenders and a sloping roofline. The rear fascia has a unique design and features quad LED taillights with the ‘Brabus’ lettering in the centre and quad exhausts in a double-stacked configuration.
Bodo Buschmann loved the V12. He created the insane Brabus SL 7.3S powered by a 7.3-liter V12 engine. Hence, there’s a good chance that the new Brabus Bodo could have a V12 under the hood.
