Brabus Bodo

[Jonathan19]

Brabus has teased its new creation, the Bodo.

Something new is coming.
Can you feel it?
The relentless power.
The ambition to go further.
To push harder.
To create what doesn’t exist yet. It doesn’t wait for permission.
It starts from within. It never fades.
It keeps evolving.
Reaching for new heights.
This is our passion.
This is BODO.

Named after the late company founder Bodo Buschmann, who I actually met way back in the mid-1980s at the Essen Motor Show through a late motorsport journalist acquaintance of mine. I recall Herr Buschmann being a very approachable, likeable gentleman.

Please pardon the blatant name-drop.

What car will it be based on?

C192 or R232, perhaps ? I haven't a clue, actually.

Very few details are available at the moment, but for a car that will bear the founder's name, it must be epic.

It’s well known that he was a S-Class Fan and a V12 Fan.

A modified S-Class SWB with a tuned V12 would be probably the most adequate car, or a R232 with this engine.

Also known for the SL 7L V12, a current SL with a V12 will be so cool but don't know if possible.

At least for this time, the wife of the BRABUS CEO doesnt need to worry about, whether this car is a fake BRABUS or no.

If I recall correctly, all BRABUS vehicles exhibited at the 1985 Essen Motor Show were painted in a very glossy black. I was invited to take a seat inside a BRABUS W126 in order to relish the the clarity and force of the car's sound system. Up until that time, I had never experienced anything quite like it. A buddy of mine had a fancy home sound system complete with JBL studio monitors. Very "state of the art". The system in that BRABUS blew it away IMHO.
