My Brabus Bullit

Here she is at last all ready to come back home to me

I have purchased this car brand new from Brabus ever since it was debuted, i was never happy with the performance of this car i have tried getting it tune with Speedriven and i was no successful, so after the guys at GAD did an excellent job in my CLS63 biturbo i asked them if they can do something with the Bullit, and so after they have convinced me i will be happy with the car once they have the chance to do there magic, i shipped my car to Germany.

Now she became a real Bullit on a SuperFlow Dyno my car pulled 870hp and 1340NM of torque, no performance numbers on her yet will get some soon

Thanks guys

The Bullit always had a V12 in there this is a Brabus conversion to start with.

Changes made to the original Brabus setup are revised intercoolers, air box, larger turbos and a custom tune to make it work

Very nice!

Do you know if larger turbos and tune account for the difference between Brabus' 730hp and 800hp setup?

A beautiful car.

It would also look good with the mirrors updated.

I did buy the 800hp kit from Brabus, and tried to install ram air filters that all went wrong including there tune which was really useless, I have learned that they are good in marketing and they are bad in delivering, the original Brabus turbos are slightly larger than the original 65 turbos, the manifolds what so ever are really spot on, that also helped save one money and doing it all over, GAD-Motors have used bigger turbos the run with the 870hp was on low boost 1.45bar now she is running 1.65bar. Couldn't get a reading due to having excessive wheel spin on the dyno

Just to clarify the reason why you're not happy with the performance of this car was because it didn't have enough boost or hp? So you had GAD upgrade the intercoolers as well air box, larger turbos and a custom tune?

Can't imagine the power that thing must be putting down since it's in a C-class chassis which i'm guessing is around 3,800lbs curb weight?

How much did the original Bullit cost you if you don't mind me asking on top of the GAD mods?

Congrats on a truly remarkable beast!

I was not happy because of the power! Car was over marketed by Brabus, the build is excellent but it has no power, the guys at GAD I think have figured an excellent setup for this car, some of the things they upgraded also where injectors and a larger throttle. I am sorry I do not want to go into how much I spent!

Congrats on the new setup. Do you get any grip with 1340nm ?
What tire setup are you running?

I always thought Brabus was overrated
The guys at GAD seem to be the new leaders in the marketing of modding Mercs.

I haven't driven the car with the new tire setup which are Trofeo R, I hope they get that power on the road, will put a feed back when I give her a go.

GAD are just raising the competition I believe they are good at least that's what I have experienced with my CLS63 and the Bullit now, and by mid May will have my C63BS ready by them and I hope it's just another monster
