Brabus Bullit

 

 

 

The brand new Brabus Bullit is the 'Ultimate Wolf in Sheep’s Clothing' with its massive V12 Biturbo Engine, producing a brain tingling 720bhp (730 PS) of brute power, and a tire shredding 974 lb-ft (1,320 Nm) of torque (which they have had to limit electronically to 1,100 Nm (811 lb-ft) for fear of popping your tires every morning setting off for work) which gives the Brabus a top speed of more than 360 km/h (224 mph)
Over the past thirty years Brabus has have become extremely good at shoehorning large and extremely powerful engines into the much smaller cars. This path led to numerous world records for Brabus and entries into the Guinness Book of World Records. The all-new Brabus Bullit, is built in small-series production based on the new Mercedes C-Class sedan, to celebrate its world debut at the IAA 2007 as the ultimate wolf in sheep’s clothing.

 

 

 

The Brabus SV12 S Biturbo engine is produced entirely in-house in the state-of-the-art Brabus engine building shop. Displacement of the twelve-cylinder three-valve engine is increased with the help of a larger cylinder bore, special pistons and piston rods. The conversion further includes re-machining the cylinder heads and fitting them with special camshafts. The Brabus engine specialists further developed an entirely new turbocharging system with two larger chargers and more efficient intercoolers. The V12 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 Mercedes 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, which you won't be turning off, if you want to stay alive that is.

 

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 ultimate sheep in wolfs clothing place it into pole position in its class: The car sprints from 0 – 100 km/h (62 mph) in just 3.9 seconds, reaches 200 km/h (124 mph) after just 10.49 seconds and shatters the 300-km/h (186 mph) barrier after a mere 24.5 seconds. Top speed is more than 360 km/h (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.

Such performance places special demands on aerodynamic properties, suspension and brakes. The sedan body was optimized for runs beyond 300 km/h (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.

A special aluminum hood with ventilation slots is more than just a visual cue; it also contributes to the thermal health of all components under the hood.

 

The custom Brabus 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.  

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 six centimeters (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 ZR 19 tires on the steering axle. The rear axle features 10Jx19 wheels with size 285/30 ZR 19 tires.

 

The Brabus Bullit is built on demand starting at 348,000 Euros MSRP.
