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.

Steampunk Lamborghini Tractor: 36 HP, Million-Euro Dream

Five limited-edition Centenario Tractors, based on a 1960s Lamborghini DLA35 with a 2.2L diesel and 36 hp, have been transformed into steampunk hot-rods and are being auctioned. Created in 2016 to celebrate Ferruccio Lamborghini’s 100th birthday, these rolling art pieces—designed by Adler Capelli with Klima Lounge—feature hand-formed metal panels, a natural patina, and numerous Lamborghini badges; they’re fully functional but not meant for field work. Only about 310 miles have been logged since completion in 2020. Originally priced around €1.75 million (~$2 million) each, they sit far above the Revuelto’s US price tag of about $600k.
