    BRABUS BULLIT BLACK ARROW The Four-Door V12 Biturbo Stealth Super Sports Car With 730 hp (720 hp SAE net), 1,320 Nm (974 lb-ft), 0 - 300 km/h (186 mph) in 24.5 seconds and a Top Speed of More than 360 km/h (225 mph)

    Ultra powerful, ultra fast and conspicuously inconspicuous: The four-door stealth super sports car BRABUS BULLIT BLACK ARROW offers performance superlatives like no other car on the market: The basis for the car is the body of the new C-Class sedan, covered with a special matte-black coating. The BRABUS SV12 S Biturbo twelve-cylinder engine was dropped into the engine bay with almost surgical precision. Performance is staggering: 3.9 seconds from rest to 100 km/h (62 mph), 24.5 seconds for 0 - 300 km/h (186 mph) and a top speed of more than 360 km/h (225 mph). BRABUS produces the BULLIT BLACK ARROW in small-series production starting at 348,000 Euros MSRP.

    The BRABUS BULLIT BLACK ARROW ensures that the world's fastest sedans continue to come from Bottrop. The BRABUS BULLIT BLACK ARROW follows in the footsteps of the 330-km/h (206 mph) BRABUS E V12 based on the W 210-series Mercedes E-Class, the 350.2-km/h (219 mph) E V12 Biturbo of the new W 211 generation and the world's current fastest sedan, the 365.7- km/h (227.2 mph) BRABUS ROCKET based on the Mercedes CLS.

    Numerous modifications to the reinforced body were necessary to install the turbocharged V12 engine in the C-Class engine bay. The BRABUS SV12 S Biturbo engine is derived directly from the BRABUS ROCKET and uses the latest Mercedes S 600 engine that has been completely reworked in the company-own engine building shop.

    Nothing beats displacement except even more displacement: A crankshaft with longer stroke, larger cylinder bore, and special pistons and piston rods increase displacement of the twelve-cylinder three-valve engine from 5.5 to 6.3 liters (336 to 385 cu. in.).

    Cylinder heads optimized for faster gas exchange and high-performance camshafts also contribute to the increase in power output. They are assisted by a more efficient dual turbocharging system, special manifolds, larger turbochargers and larger intercoolers. Because of space constraints in the C-Class body an entirely new stainless-steel high-performance exhaust system with low back-pressure metal catalysts had to be developed.

    The BRABUS motor engineers used state-of-the-art engine test benches to program new mapping for engine electronics and on-board diagnostics. The new mapping ensures optimal power yield while meeting strict EURO IV emission limits.

    The BRABUS SV12 S Biturbo displacement engine, lubricated like all BRABUS high-performance engines with ARAL Synthetic motor oil, produces 730 hp (720 hp SAE net) / 537 kW at just 5,100 rpm. The peak torque of 1,320 Nm (974 lb-ft) is limited in-car electronically to 1,100 Nm (811 lb-ft).

    Power is transferred to the rear wheels via a reinforced five-speed automatic transmission and a BRABUS limited-slip differential with a locking rate of 40 percent. Customers can choose from two final drive ratios. The BRABUS BULLIT BLACK ARROW features all modern driving dynamics systems such as ABS, ASR and ESP.

    The matte-black stealth street rocket delivers unique performance: Just 3.9 seconds pass for the sprint from 0 - 100 km/h (62 mph), 200 km/h (124 mph) is reached after just 10.49 seconds. And after just 24.5 seconds the car shatters the 300-km/h barrier (186 mph). Top speed is more than 360 km/h (225 mph).

    At these speeds favorable aerodynamic properties are absolutely essential. The BRABUS BULLIT BLACK ARROW was honed to perfection in the wind tunnel. The BULLIT front apron features large air ducts to supply cooling air for radiators and front brakes. Its sophisticated design further reduces lift on the front axle. Its aerodynamic counterparts in the rear are a three-piece rear spoiler and a rear apron with integrated diffuser. Both front and rear aprons are made from especially light yet highly robust autoclave-baked carbon fiber.

    A wider track optimizes directional stability so elementary at speeds beyond 300 km/h. The BRABUS designers have styled aluminum wheel arch flares for front and rear axle. They are seamlessly melded to the production body and add six centimeters (2.4 inches) to the C-Class width. BRABUS rocker panels optimize the airstream along the sides. They also feature integrated entry lights that make entering and exiting the vehicle safer in the dark.

    The visual appearance of the BRABUS BULLIT BLACK ARROW is further characterized by the new hood. Its integrated 'gills' are not just distinctive features, they also ensure the engine's thermal health.

    The wheel arch flares provide space for especially wide matte-black BRABUS Monoblock S light-alloy wheels with high-performance tires from technology partners YOKOHAMA or Pirelli. The 9.5Jx19 wheels on the front axle are shod with size 265/30 ZR 19 tires. The rear axle is fitted with size 10Jx19 wheels and size 285/30 ZR 19 tires.

    The height-adjustable coil-over suspension was developed specifically for the BRABUS BULLIT BLACK ARROW. The gas-pressure shocks feature ten selectable settings each for bound and rebound. They provide a sporty yet comfortable ride and safe handling in any situation. Sport stabilizers reduces body roll to a minimum during fast cornering.

    The BRABUS high-performance brake system can handle even the most extreme stress. It features 12-piston aluminum fixed calipers on the front axle that grip vented and grooved 380 x 37 millimeter (15 x 1.46 inches) brake discs. The rear axle stops with 360 x 28 millimeter (14.2 x 1.1 inches) discs and six-piston aluminum fixed calipers.

    Exclusive individuality also abounds in the interior of the BRABUS automobile: The standard equipment package includes a fully leather interior hand-crafted in the company-own upholstery shop from the finest Mastik and Nubuk leathers.

    The custom 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.

    Two much power and torque for two wheels.

    I bet it's really fast in a straight line, though. The perfect car for Autobahn maniacs - IF it is reliable enough for that.

    Still don't like the snow tyres... ahem... black rims, though.

    This is absolutely...revolting!!! Carbon fibre grille, seats, venturi tunnel...and the dashboard material looks awful.
    In addition, we've all seen on motor shows how bad these big powerful Mercs handle.
    If it was an American muscle car then it would be fine, but as a Mercedes I don't think it works.

    (The worst thing is the front grille! Did the original weigh that much so they had to use carbon fibre?)

    It needs more power. And im serious, Brabus has been using that 6.3 v12 for ages now, we need a more powerful engine.. Imagine the top speed if the car had, say, 1100bhp? It would be a 4 door saloon doing 250 mph for christ's sake, it would be AWESOME. Oh, and i dont like the paint, or the wheels.

    You have to be joking! This is about the best interior I have ever seen, and an ultimate statement in elegance and badness, usually an antagonism.

    You guys ... seriously!

    This may be a repost but I don't care, I love everything about this car, especially the grille and other touches like that (it all works on/in this car)

    I would 100% sure buy this car If I had a million dollars. even though id have probably just over half left after. Call me crazy but to me this would be the ideal daily driver. or nightly driver.

    edit - ouch, runs on 98 octane!!>

    I like the Color, the wheels and the bodykit ... but after that, it all goes down a bit. Carbonfibre grill? Square-stitched-whatever-that´s called Interoir? With their demonstrator-cars, Brabus always shows their lack of style. It´s a Super-saloon ... it´s not supposed (IMHO of course) to look like some carbage where some guy without taste just glued everything onto a Car he could lay his hands on as long as it´s expensive. There is a difference between classy-sexy and prostiute-sexy ... someone need´s to tell Brabus they are on the wrong side, unlike AMG who (normally) get it right.

    But ... it´s a demonstrator ... you don´t have to have it all ... you can tell them to keep their stupid Carbonfibre grill, or whatever and have what you want. So no Problem there ... I´d just fire the guy who picks the kit for the demonstrator-cars ...

    Well my problem is that the CTS-V with less power can manage the same time, so I'm somewhat dissapointed. I suppose it's the turbo's, even though its a twin system it still takes them a bit to get going so even though the peak power/torque is pretty serious it's not usable by the time it makes it to 62

    I know it sounds like a lame excuse, but the 0-62 times stated by US manufacturers usually are lower than the times of European manufacturers. Let's just say US cars are tested under more ideal conditions.

    Hehe actually I have heard that as well, that Europeans tend to give more conservative numbers than the US in general. Either way it looks like a cool enough car to wrap around a tree
