Brabus today has announced they’ve built the world’s fastest and most expensive C-Class in the form of the Bullit, a blacked-out killer with a heart transplant like no other. The body is based on the C 63 AMG, but instead of the 6.3-liter aspirated V8 engine, this has an 800 horsepower incarnation of a V12 Biturbo. And if 800 hp does not impress you, it also has 1,420 Nm (1,047 lb-ft)1,420 Nm (1,047 lb-ft) of torque to help propel it to over 370 km/h (230 mph).
The engine is borrowed from an up-to-date Mercedes S 600 and is then increased from 5.5 to 6.3 liter with the help of a special crankshaft with longer stroke, larger, forged pistons and an increase in cylinder bore across the board. Intake and outlet ports of both cylinder heads are optimized for mixture flow, and fitted with sports camshafts. The engine now makes about 300 hp more than in stock form, so the stock exhaust configuration had to be changed to a custom one with integrated turbochargers.
But the Bullit Coupe is not for everybody, as it costs €449,820 in Germany, which is 593,483 at the current exchange rate. Still, there aren’t a lot of cars that will do 370 km/h (230 mph) on the market.
