Brabus Bullit

[CrazyRuskie]

Over the past three decades Brabus has perfected the art of transplanting large and extremely powerful engines into the bodies of small cars. That path led to numerous world records and entries into the Guinness Book of World Records. The Brabus Bullit, built in small-series production based on the new Mercedes C-Class sedan, celebrates its world debut at the IAA 2007 as the ultimate wolf in sheep’s clothing.



At the heart of this supercar Brabus placed the Brabus SV12 S Biturbo displacement engine. It was originally designed for the world’s fastest sedan, the Brabus Rocket. The implantation of the 6.3-liter engine into the confines of the W 204 series body is yet more proof for the superiority of Brabus know-how.



The Brabus engine specialists developed an entirely new turbocharging system with two larger chargers and more efficient intercoolers. The Brabus SV12 S Biturbo displacement engine also breathes more feely thanks to metal catalysts with low back pressure and a stainless-steel high-performance exhaust system custom-tailored for the C-Class body.




New engine electronics ensure the perfect combination of maximum power yield and running smoothness. The use of custom mapping and the on-board diagnostics system result in low exhaust emissions that meet stringent Euro IV limits. The Brabus Bullit features state-of-the-art traction and stability control systems such as ABS, ASR and ESP.



The turbocharged twelve-cylinder engine delivers 720 bhp of superlative power and 974 lb-ft of superlative peak torque. The latter is limited electronically in-car to 811 lb-ft.



Power is transferred to the rear wheels via a massively modified five-speed automatic transmission and a Brabus rear locking differential with a locking rate of up to 40 percent. It is available with two different final drive ratios.



The performance figures for the Brabus Bullit place it into pole position in its class: The car sprints from 0 – 60 mph in just 3.8 seconds, reaches 124 mph after just 10.49 seconds and shatters the 186-mph (300 km/h) barrier after a mere 24.5 seconds. Top speed is more than 224 mph. There are only a very few super sports cars in the world that can hope to match these numbers.



Such performance places special demands on aerodynamic properties, suspension and brakes. The sedan body was optimized for runs beyond 186 mph in the wind tunnel.



The Brabus Bullit front apron was designed to provide maximum cooling air supply for radiators and front brakes while at the same time minimizing aerodynamic lift. For a perfect aerodynamic balance the four-door features a three-piece rear spoiler and a rear apron with integrated diffuser. Front and rear spoilers are manufactured from especially lightweight yet high-strength carbon fiber, baked in an autoclave.




Brabus rocker panels smooth the airstream along the sides and with their integrated entrance lights make entering and exiting the vehicle safer under low-light conditions.



The slightly understated sporty appearance of the supercar is further characterized by aluminum fender flares front and back, seamlessly molded to the stock body. They add 2.36 inches to the width of the C-Class body.



They also make room for especially wide Brabus wheels and Yokohama Advan high-performance tires. The Bullit runs on size 9.5Jx19 Brabus Monoblock S light-alloy wheels and size 265/30 ZR19 tires on the steering axle. The rear axle features 10Jx19 wheels with size 285/30 ZR19 tires.



The suspension too was custom-developed to account for the power and the weight of the twin-turbo V12 engine. The sporty yet comfortable height-adjustable Brabus coil-over suspension features ten selectable settings each for bound and rebound, and ensures safe handling in all driving situations. Sport sway bars reduce body roll during fast cornering to a minimum.



The Brabus high-performance brake system can handle even the most extreme stress. It features 12-piston aluminum fixed calipers on the front axle that grip vented and grooved 380 x 37 millimeter (15 x 1.46 inches) brake discs. The rear axle stops with 360 x 28 millimeter (14.2 x 1.1 inches) discs and six-piston aluminum fixed calipers.



This Brabus automobile also offers exclusive individuality in the interior: The standard equipment package includes a fully leather interior hand-crafted in the company-own upholstery shop from the finest Mastik and Nubuk leathers.




The custom Bullit seats offer a perfect combination of comfort and lateral support. Their carbon-fiber rear covers lend the interior an especially sporty feel. This look is complemented by carbon-fiber components on dashboard, center console and door panels as well as by the ergonomically shaped sport steering wheel and aluminum pedals and shifter.

WAOOOOOOWWWW!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I CAN STARE FOREVER AT THIS KIT!

So AGGRESSIVE.

[sleeper400]

that is INSANE!

[izmir41500]

love it except for the headlights. needs something else in the front.

[CrazyRuskie]

I love everything about this car..... everything....... I want to know the price

[JOKER]

RICE

Too much on the front.

[CrazyRuskie]

Rice? You have got to be fricken kidding me...

I guess that Zonda is Rice too, and the Bugatti Veyron, Ferrari Enzo, etc....

[///M32G35]

My only complaints would be the slushbox and the possibly skewed weight distribution. Wonder what the curb weight and front to rear distribution are?
Other than that it looks great and I'm sure is a beast, although my loyalties lay elsewhere.

there's just too much going on.

Some kind of a snow blower or some sh!t. They could have done a better job.
Just cuz it's a Mercedes I'm not going to look over the flaws.

[absolutg]

how much???

[Klubbheads]

OK here is a suggestion to everyone. A car that has over 600 hp stock can NOT be rice no matter what u do. Even if u put park bench as a back wing it will still not be rice. Every panel on this car has a purpose for not flying like a fighter jet.

I just want this car to step on the gazzzzz!!! I would not give a shiet about the handling.

[Dustin@StrafeAutomotive]

they could have done something different other than throwing on our oem 19's on there

[SPEEED]

It's a little too busy to my linking. With all these grooves, scoops, spoilers, etc. it can't be too good for the car's drag. The interior on the other hand is to die for!

[dunglan7]

That's one mean a$$ looking C-class!

[GreenGoblin]

wow that is sick looking
