Brabus Bullit Coupe 800 is a Mercedes C63 AMG Coupe with a V12 on Steroids
The Smart Fortwo-based Ultimate 120 that we told you about in our previous post may be a special treat but the…800-pound gorilla at Brabus' 2012 Geneva Motor Show stand will no doubt be the Bullit Coupe 800.
With this limited production model, Brabus promises to offer supercar-shredding levels of performance under the guise of a C63 AMG Coupe. Of course, nothing comes for free and the Bullit Coupe 800 commands a supercar price - €378,000 or US$507,000 to be precise.
Brabus engineers started by replacing the regular C63 AMG Coupe's 6.3-liter V8 engine that develops 451hp and 600Nm with the same 6.3-liter twin-turbocharged V12 found under the hood of the limited run Brabus E V12 special, which in turn borrowed the engine from the S600.
Numerous alterations were made to the powerplant itself as well as the body of the C-Class model in order to fit the V12 in the engine bay. The highly modified 12-cylinder unit churns out an amazing 800PS (788hp) at 5,500rpm and a tire-shredding peak torque of 1,420 Nm (1,047 lb-ft), which is electronically limited to 1,100 Nm (811 lb-ft).
