Default If I had 398.000 Euro...

I'd buy a Brabus Bullit.....even though I like BMW more


V12 Twin Turbo with 730 whp and 811 lbf torque in a C-Class Sedan!
The torque is limited, actually the car has 973 lbf! Brabus used a modified Maybach transmission to bring the power to the street.

0-60 - 3,8 sec
Vmax - over 223 mph


here are 2 videos from the Frankfurt IAA
YouTube - Autosalon Frankfurt 2007: Brabus Bullit V12
YouTube - IAA 2007 Brabus Bullit



sure there's a better investment for 398000 euros than in a car.....but I think it's worth every cent.....the interieur literaly consists out of suede, leather and carbon fiber

Brabus uses this engine in a lot of cars.

CLS for example.....but I'd rock the C Sedan because it looks the best from the in- and outside

You simply can't put that power onto the road though, that was my point with that video. It's a shame, Brabus really does have some amazing cars/engines. The CLS Brabus Rocket is my favorite.

ah ok, I missed your point.

well you certainly know we have no speed limits at some Autobahn sections....I'm sure you could go the Vmax in the middle of the night on the Autobahn near Frankfurt....all straight 3 and 4 lanes.

why cant you? thats just a little bit of suspension/tire work and you'd be relatively fine.

You look at the top gear video I posted? Jeremy Clarkson, a respected automotive journalist says that it absolutely flies in a straight line, but the torque generated by the car just simply overcomes the computer, and all you do is just roast the tires.

End quote of his review is, "Absolute power corrupts, absolutely."

Good way to describe this car... unless you threw slicks on it. And by the way... this M-B is an automatic...

I love brabus... but I would never buy one. For that kind of money I'd have a Porsche Carrera GT.

...then do what everyone else that races a car with the ability to light up the tires does, and don't light up the tires. it's not a very hard concept.
