'13 250 Coupe
This may be a repost but HOT DAMN
Last month, BRABUS teased everyone with a photo of a covered vehicle they said would be the ultimate "wolf in sheep's clothing." Today, they officially announced what that vehicle is. Say hello to the BRABUS Bullit, a Mercedes-Benz C-Class sedan that is the beneficiary of the utterly monstrous BRABUS SV12 S Biturbo engine transplant. Put plainly, that makes this rather understated-looking (for BRABUS, at least) sedan one of the fastest cars in the world, period.
Power from the twin-turbocharged V12 is a staggering 720 horses and an even more mind-numbing 974 lb-ft of torque. For the sake of tractability, BRABUS electronically limits the peak available torque at "only" 811 lb-ft. Still, you'd better have a substantial tire budget set aside, as you'll (literally) be burning through it very quickly. A heavily-modified 5-speed automatic with a BRABUS locking rear differential sends power rearward. Two different final drive ratios are offered, as well -- 2.65:1 or 2.24:1. Naturally, the exhaust, suspension and brakes are all modified as well.
Performance numbers are blistering: 0-62 in 3.9 seconds and a top speed of 224 mph. If have €348,000 handy (and you live in Europe), you can consider yourself to be in the market for one. For complete details and specs on the Bullit, just follow the jump.

2008 C350 Black/Black Leather, P2, 18" AMG, Pano, illuminated door sills, chrome handles, long wait
So what is the consensus on these 5 LEDs shooting down on either side of the skirts?
Would they look cheap on a 350? I like them myself....

that white stitched alcantara interior is hot!
I could only live with the LED hover lights only if they turn on when the doors open. The body kit is too much for my taste, but with a biturbo V12 I could look past it.

the interior is absolutely gorgeous.. and do i notice a engine/start stop button there? the stock C350 doesn't offer that if i remember correctly.. but then again the C350 doesn't offer a top speed of 224mph either loll...
Brabus has done it again.. but for that money i would be rolling around in a Carrera GT with straight pipes to be honest

heck, even the most upgraded 350 you can get in the US doesn't have it.

It obviously started it's life as a Euro model. It has Keyless Go, seat controls on the door, Parktronic, and the little comparment with the roll cover instead of extra-large American sized cup-holders.

So here it is. The monster Brabus Bullit!
I guess this is it. The brutal tuned new C-class by Brabus, which is gunna crush the current record of the fastest four-doorer in the world. Brabus is already having it with their tuned CLS rocket.
Rocket's official record top speed was 365.6 km/h but with the lighter weight of Bullit (1850kg) they're aiming to beat that.
What do you think?

Did anyone notice Brabus fixed one of my big complaints with this car: the side mirrors. On stock cars they are supported by black plastic arms, here Brabus painted them to match the car color, as they should be. I guess just something else they can include for that insane price!
