The Brabus Bullit Coupe 800 is one of the most insane rides you'll be able to see at the 2012 Geneva motor show. The coupe version of the Brabus Bullit is based on the Mercedes C63 AMG coupe, which has received a completely new engine. Brabus replaced the 6.3-liter V8 in the original car with a V12 Biturbo engine. The result is an 800 hp (788 bhp) / 588 kW and 1,420 Nm (1,047 lb-ft) monster, which will probably intimidate even The Stig. Brabus says that the coupe version of the Bullit is able to rocket itself from 0 to 62 mph (0-100 km/h) in 3.7 seconds and that it can reach a top speed of 370 km/h (230 mph). What's even more impressive is its 0-300 km/h acceleration time, which is 23.8 seconds.
As you can imagine, Brabus had to make countless modifications to the C63 AMG Coupe's body to be able to fit the massive V12 engine under its bonnet. Apart from those, the Brabus Bullit Coupe was fitted with a reinforced seven-speed automatic transmission and a limited-slip rear diff with a 40% locking rate, which required several other modifications. The Brabus Bullit Coupe comes with two exhaust manifolds with integrated turbos, and four water-to-air intercoolers.
The original body of the C63 AMG was not built for the kind of speeds the Bullit Coupe is capable of, so Brabus had to modify its aerodynamics.
The Bullit Coupe's aero pack includes a new front spoiler made from carbon, side skirts, a rear diffuser and a boot lid spoiler. The rear apron integrates four awesome ceramics-plated tailpipes.
The Brabus Bullit Coupe sits on 20-inch wheels and a BILSTEIN height-adjustable coilover suspension. Such immense horsepower requires a set of moon-size brakes. Brabus equipped the Bullit Coupe with 380 x 37 millimeters (15.0 x 1.45 in.) discs with 12-piston aluminum fixed calipers in the front and 360 x 28 millimeters (14.2 x 1.1 in.) discs with six-piston fixed aluminum calipers at the rear.
The Brabus Bullit Coupe's price has not been announced yet.
