Just a wicked car in every sense": an Italian roadtrip in the Brabus Bodo

A new Brabus Bodo supercar is being introduced by the tuner in limited numbers, with the article framing it as an ultra-exclusive, aggressively styled build. The write-up recounts a tense moment with police while the author drives near Lake Como, using the episode to set up the surreal presence of the Brabus Bodo. Brabus, founded in 1977, is known for extreme modifications of Mercedes-Benz platforms, including past experiments with V8s and V12s, and a broader expansion beyond Mercedes into work on Range Rover, Lamborghini, Porsche, and Rolls-Royce, while still handling more than 80% of its business for Mercedes. The Bodo is described as pre-war Mercedes-inspired, with exposed carbon-fiber bodywork, and just 77 units planned starting around £1 million.
