Bullit Time!

Bullit Time!

Brabus shows, with their Bullit Coupé 800, how the world's meanest Mercedes Benz C-class is supposed to be put together.

Brabus has thrown their newest supercar, the Bullit Coupé 800 on the street in Germany. The car is based on the Mercedes Benz C 63 AMG, but the 451 horsepower the original car puts out, wasn't nearly enough for the madness Brabus had in mind. That's why they increased the size of the engine room and threw the 'pathetic' V8 our of the window and replaced it with a mean V12 from the luxury sedan, S 600. After that they increased it from 5.5 liter to a 6.2 liter and of course they increased the air intake for the twin-turbo. All in all, they managed to squeeze out 800 horsepower from the engine that beforehand performed 517 horsepower. These modifications resulted in massive amounts of torque that Brabus electronically limited at 1100 Nm, just a tiny bit less that what you find in a Bugatti Veyron. 

How do they get a car like this, to stay on the road?

To get an almost 2 ton car driving 370km/h - Yeah, that's faster than a Lamborghini Aventador - and at the same time stay on the road, requires quite some extra equipment! That's why, the Bullit Coupé 800 has a front spoiler, a rear spoiler and a diffuser in carbonfiber, all of these help the aerodynamics of the car, making it stay on the road and handle better at these ridiculous speeds. Besides  the awesome carbonfiber equipment, the cars' black paint accompanied by red 800-logos and 20" special made aluminum rims, this car looks sweet as. 

The designers...

Clearly have a thing for black and red. The cabine is made up of black leather seats with red stitches, black alcantara surfaces with red stitches and a speedometer bathed in red light. Even though all of this red light makes the needle on the speedometer perfectly visible, it can be hard to keep track of it, when it flies from 0-300km/h in just 23,8 seconds, thanks to the mechanically improved seven-step automatic gearbox.The improvement to the gearbox was a necessity, because without it, the engine would rip it apart. 

The sale, oh the sale...

The sale is organized directly from Brabus' factory in Germany, and the price clearly matches the performance of that car. For just about $500000 this magnificent car can be yours. All you're missing now, is a couple of beatiful ladies and sunshine, then it'll take no time for you to recieve a call from Snoop Dogg saying he wants you in his next music video.
