Full Details At The Brabus Bullit Black Arrow – Mercedes C-Class with V12 Engine
Posted by Admin on July 15, 2008
Brabus has announced a special variant of the already powerful Mercedes Benz C-Class Bullit, titled the Brabus Bullit Black Arrow at the Geneva Motor Show. Today, Brabus has given us a plethora of new photos showcasing the model along with a lengthy press release outlining what you can expect from the 730-horsepower C Class.
How can you describe Mercedes’s smallest sedan given an incredibly large (6.3L) v12? How about an absurd amount of power wrapped in a surreptitious shell would define the Brabus Bullit Black Arrow well. Some would consider this 730 hp/537 kW V12, capable of producing a peak torque of 1,320 Nm, is already somewhat impractical in a C-Class, and then taking into account, piloting a vehicle capable of accelerating from 0-62mph in 3.9 seconds, 0-186mph in 24.5 seconds and achieving a top speed of more than 225 mph is even a bit…gratuitous. We think its exactly what the doctor ordered.
This is Brabus ladies and gentlemen, and Brabus doesn’t really care what the general population thinks. Tuning, especially when attempting to improve on a brand that already sets the bar for the automotive world, is about taking an already spectacular model, and making it even better. And make no mistake, that’s exactly what Brabus has accomplished with the Brabus Bullit Black Arrow.
In order to improve on the Mercedes C-Class, and their own Brabus Bullit, Brabus had to incorporate a wealth of upgrades that are second to none. Starting with the 730HP 6.3L V12, they then added a reinforced 5-speed transmission, height-adjustable coil-over suspension and a high-performance brake system all aimed at making the Bullit the most omnipotent C-Class ever produced.
