Brabus has become somewhat of a mainstream tuner, offering body kits for you lazy Mercedes B-Class diesel driers. But once in a while, they come up with something that breaks all the rules and defies the laws of physics.
This is one such car, the Brabus Mercedes C-Coupe 800 Bullit. The body of the car might make you thing this is a tuned C63 AMG, but it’s really not. That’s because they took one of the coolest engines in the world and replaced it with something even cooler, 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 was pulled out of the Mercedes S-Class but they didn’t just leave it at that, at it’s been increased in capacity to 6.3 liters with a sports rankshaft with longer stroke, larger, forged pistons and an increase in cylinder bore.
Although it sounds like a concept, the Brabus Bullet is a very real car that you can buy for €449,820 in Germany, which is about $600,000. That’s a lot of money, but it’s much cooler than a Juke-R in our opinion.

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.
