Brabus Mercedes C-Coupe 800 Bullit in Geneva

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.

Mihnea's favorite cars have already been built, the so-called modern classics from the '80s and '90s. He also loves local car culture from all over the world, so don't be surprised to see him getting excited about weird Japanese imports, low-rider VWs out of Germany, replicas from Russia or LS swaps down in Florida.
