Brabus Bodo Cabriolet: 986 horsepower, 77 cars, and a body made entirely of carbon fiber

Bodo Buschmann founded Brabus in 1977, and 77 is the number the car is built around: 77 cars worldwide, produced as a separate limited series from the 77 Bodo Gran Turismo Coupes, with the figure set below the rear window as a badge. Brabus revealed the Cabriolet on 14 August 2026. Constantin Buschmann, who runs the company and is Bodo's son, describes it as a project the two of them discussed for close to two decades before it was built.

The engine is a handcrafted 5.2-liter twin-turbo V12: 986 horsepower — 1,000PS in Brabus's own units — and 1,200 Nm, driving the rear wheels through an eight-speed automatic. The 2+2 reaches 100 km/h in 3.0 seconds and 200 km/h in 8.5, and top speed is electronically limited to 360 km/h. Combined WLTP consumption is 14.1 l/100 km and 321 g/km of CO2. It is the same V12 architecture Aston Martin uses in its own front-engined cars.

The entire body is carbon fiber, laid up in pre-preg, and the launch car wears a Brabus finish called Silk Stone. The roof is the part worth reading twice. It is a two-tone black and gray Jacquard fabric with an inverted Brabus 77 motif woven into the structure rather than printed onto it, which gives the surface a relief across its whole area and leaves nothing on top to wear off through UV exposure, abrasion or repeated folding.

At the front are LED matrix headlights and the Brabus grille, here with thirteen vertical slats. At the rear, a multi-stage spoiler deploys from the deck. Brabus has published the car in two specifications, Silk Stone and Black.

Brabus did not publish a price on the announcement page; reporting from the launch put it at €1,077,000 before tax, as of August 2026. With the Gran Turismo Coupe announced earlier in the same year at the same volume, the two runs together account for 154 cars.

Seventy-seven cars is a number that settles quickly, and it settles through relationships with the factory rather than a deposit queue. We import to order and quote landed, with duty, tax and timeline included, and we will say plainly whether an allocation is still reachable or whether the coupe is the better route in.
