Brabus bringing 800-HP "Bullit" C-Class Coupe to Geneva

Brabus has taken the time to work over the new Mercedes-Benz C-Class Coupe in the company's trademark over-the-top style. The result is the Brabus Bullit Coupe, which is headed for a debut at the Geneva Motor Show this week, complete with an 800-horsepower version of the same V12 found under the hood of the Mercedes-Benz S-Class. That kind of craziness is so beautiful, it almost brings a tear to our eye.

The engineers at Brabus bored out the block to 6.3 liters of displacement, up from 5.5 liters in factory form. Throw in a pair of turbos and you have a vehicle capable of dumping a staggering 1,047 pound-feet of torque on the rear tires.

Or at least you would if Brabus didn't have to electronically limit final output to 811 lb-ft of torque. The company says there simply isn't a transmission out there capable of standing up to that kind of twist. Even with the limited grunt, the Bullit Coupe can pop off a 0-62 mph run in 3.7 seconds on its way to a top speed of 229 mph. Pure brilliance.

Beef up that tranny lets get some 4digit tq numbers!

bagwell

huge B on the nose looks pretty tacky IMO.


oh and the $600,000 price tag [for a C class] makes me want to order one today....!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?

The rice spoiler on the trunk lid makes it all come together tho LOL.

I call BS, I know people putting over 1k Tq to the wheels, some in muscle cars etc. you can build a transmission to take it.

hell, Bugatti did it, albiet for substantially more money, but there are ways.

$600K for C -class and so many german fan boys said 375K for LF-A was to much it looks like bargin now. Even with 800hp it can only manage 3.7sec 0-60 to much power can't put it down sure has great top end speed but for 600K there about 10 other cars out there I rather get.

It's an MB, a brabus actually........so it gets automatic immunity

at the end of the day it's a still a c class just like a civic that is race ready to beat all the supercar out there

Stock '12 GT-R is beating that already (and $500k left for a nice garage-yes?)

Brabus used to make sense when there weren't that many high powered MB's available. Now, you can just buy an SL65 Black for less than half the price brand new and it does everything better - accelerate, handle better, looks much better/more exclusive, and even hold it's value better (although both suck in that regard).

I guess someone has to buy these cars new. I'd prefer to look at a used SL65 or CL65 with a 12 cylinder tt engine, stock 600+ hp and 700+ lb ft. for under $50k...
