Brabus Bullit - 720hp/964lb-ft
 
Last month, BRABUS teased everyone with a photo of a covered vehicle they said would be the ultimate "wolf in sheep's clothing." Today, they officially announced what that vehicle is. Say hello to the BRABUS Bullit, a Mercedes-Benz C-Class sedan that is the beneficiary of the utterly monstrous BRABUS SV12 S Biturbo engine transplant. Put plainly, that makes this rather understated-looking (for BRABUS, at least) sedan one of the fastest cars in the world, period.

Power from the twin-turbocharged V12 is a staggering 720 horses and an even more mind-numbing 974 lb-ft of torque. For the sake of tractability, BRABUS electronically limits the peak available torque at "only" 811 lb-ft. Still, you'd better have a substantial tire budget set aside, as you'll (literally) be burning through it very quickly. A heavily-modified 5-speed automatic with a BRABUS locking rear differential sends power rearward. Two different final drive ratios are offered, as well -- 2.65:1 or 2.24:1. Naturally, the exhaust, suspension and brakes are all modified as well.

Performance numbers are blistering: 0-62 in 3.9 seconds and a top speed of 224 mph.

i was waiting to see what the german tuners would do with the new c-class and BOOM its already done, damn i havent even seen the new c-class period.

1/4 mile times???? (brabus probably more worried about hp and lap times then some 1/4 mile, lol)

What large percentage of my retired bum portfolio do I have to
toss, to buy one of those sumbitches?! :rofl:

I do think the front end is a tad overdone: looks like Mitsubishi
design school in-training dropouts got a wack at that PowerRangers
front end. The power stats are remarkable, however.
