The Brabus Bodo Amethyst has arrived, and it may be the most theatrical coupe Brabus has ever dressed. Fresh images from Brabus Middle East show a purple carbon fibre body that refuses to be ignored. Brabus has built its reputation on taking fine machinery and making it more commanding, and this car does exactly that.
Purple Carbon Fibre Meets Dark Chrome
On paper, a purple coupe risks looking flamboyant. In reality, the violet tone sits beautifully with the Bodo’s aggressive sculpting. Dark chrome trim keeps the palette grounded, while black wing mirrors and polished multi-spoke wheels add a monolithic stance that dominates any kerb.
Those who remember the Rolls Royce Wraith with its purple interior will recognise the same confident boldness here. Brabus, however, pushes the theme considerably further, with purpose rather than pastel charm.

Inside the Brabus Bodo Amethyst
Inside, the Brabus Bodo Amethyst trades flamboyance for craftsmanship. Black leather upholstery covers the seats, while carbon fibre trim pieces receive a burgundy-tinted purple lacquer that gleams like a fine instrument. Bodo Buchmann’s signature, embroidered into the door pads, is a personal flourish that signals genuine tuner pride.
Beneath the bodywork sits a 5.2-liter twin-turbo V12 producing 1,000 hp and 885 lb-ft of torque. That torque arrives low in the rev range, delivering an effortless low-down shove that will humble lesser supercars. Cabin isolation at motorway speeds should remain whisper quiet, leaving the V12 as the only voice worth hearing.
Seventy-Seven Cars, Zero Compromise
Limited to 77 units and priced at $1.1 million, this is a rare proposition. Ultimately, scarcity will do the heavy lifting. My bold prediction is that the first examples of the Brabus Bodo Amethyst will trade above sticker within three years. Explore the full range at Brabus.
Purple perfection with purpose, this Bodo is a collector’s piece in the making. For more coverage of standout builds, visit Auto News Magazine.
