Brabus Bodo Cabriolet: 1,000 HP Open-Top Hyper-GT With 223 MPH Cap

Brabus has unveiled the Bodo Cabriolet, an open-top coachbuilt variant based on an Aston Martin Vanquish Volante, featuring a reworked 5.2-liter twin-turbo V12 rated at 1,000 horsepower and 885 lb-ft of torque. The carbon-fiber body keeps weight around 3,911 pounds, and the car uses an eight-speed automatic with an LSD to drive the rear wheels. Performance promises 0-60 mph in 3.0 seconds and a governed top speed of 223 mph. Production is capped at 77 units worldwide (shared with the Bodo Hyper-GT coupe), with a starting price near €1,077,000 (~$1.174 million). Unveiled at The Quail during Monterey Car Week, the Cabriolet features active aero, 22-inch wheels, and a bespoke cabin built around the Vanquish donor for ultra-exclusive, high-end driving.

Porsche 911 GT3 S/C: a cabriolet track weapon with road manners

Porsche’s 911 GT3 S/C takes a Carrera Cabriolet and grafts in lightweight, race-honed bits from the GT3/S/T line: carbon panels, magnesium wheels, carbon-ceramic brakes and a carbon shear plate, weighing about 1,497 kg. It uses a 4.0-litre naturally aspirated flat‑six that revs to 9,000 rpm, producing 503 hp and 332 lb‑ft, with a 0–62 mph time of 3.9 seconds and a top speed of 194 mph. The car keeps a six‑speed manual and the roof can be lowered in 12 seconds up to 31 mph, while the double-wishbone front suspension and GT3 Touring–inspired setup deliver minimal body roll and sharp, communicative handling. It starts at £200,500, but optioning up (including the £24k Street Style Pack) can push prices well beyond £260k. Porsche says demand has exceeded expectations, and while some see the cabriolet approach as controversial, the S/C offers a road-focused alternative that still feels like a proper GT3 on every bend.
