Brabus has really disappointed us with body kits for the smart fortwo or the Mercedes B-Class, but all that is forgiven when you look at the flagship of the C-Class range. This is the Brabus Bullit 800, and yes, we know that’s not how bullet is spelled, but that’s how the Germans want it. And with a mighty new engine at their disposal they can get away with anything.
The body of the car you see here in Geneva, filmed by Marchettino, is based on the C 63 AMG, but the engine is so much more than that. This has a V12 Biturbo with 800 hp and 1,420 Nm (1,047 lb-ft) of torque which help propel it to over 370 km/h (230 mph).
The engine comes from a Mercedes S-Class 600 model and has been increased in displacement to 6.3-liter via a special crankshaft with longer stroke, larger, forged pistons and an increase in cylinder bore across the board.
This masterpiece, however, comes with an equally impressive price tag - 449,820 in Germany, which is just under 600,000. But the good thing is there are no other C-Class tuned coupes that do 370 km/h (230 mph), so they’ve corned the market.
