Anyone seen the 2007 Mercedes-Benz Brabus Bullit? Now, i am not a Mercedes fan for some of the werid things they do to their cars (making them automatics, insane usage of hp for nothing in my opinion) but this car is pretty...

Post Specs please. And put more effort into your posts.

De Bullit is equiped with the SV12 S Biturbo engine, wich has been originally designed for the Brabus CLS Rocket. The 6.3-liter V12 with 2 turbo's has 720hp & 1.320 Nm, altho its limited to 1100 Nm to make sure it all keeps working. Brabus claims the topspeed is over 360km/h


0 to 100 in 3.9 seconden. hits 200 after 10.49 and after 24.5 seconds its hits 300km/h

Price starts at 348.000 euro. depens on region and taxes.

(theres a bit more info about exhausts, brakes etc, but i had to translate it from a dutch website and sorta busy atm :p )

looks farirly decent me thinks, just hate that interior

Ever since the C63 AMG was released I have been a fan. IMO it is one of the best looking saloons on the market. Its comfortable, it is practical, you have the luxary, and the performance. No way would I shell out the money for a Brabus tuned version however, or really even the standard model at I believe 93k US when I could have an RS4 or 6 for nearly 30k+ less. See my biggest problem with Merc, aside from the automatics is the way they make use of their outrageous power. I dont know if anyone has seen the Top Gear episode featuring the SL65 AMG Brabus tuned edition but it basically shows why putting down 700hp and nearly 1000 ft lbs of torque in a Merc is relatively useless. For starters the electronics in the Merc, as sophisticated as they are actually inhibit the stability and proper useage of the car. You can turn TCS off, but its never fully disengaged. This causes the car to constantly exert braking pressure to various wheel while laying down the power in a corner which then causes the car to bobble in a sense mid corner. That and the weight and dynamics of most of these super mercedes really doesnt allow them to handle all the well to begin with. So in essence you have a car that can trounce most cars in a straight line sure, however if you have any interest in tracking the car and what not or even attacking some serious twisties you may want to think otherwise. If I were to consider owning one of these big bad Mercs it would have to be AWD and have the option to fully disengage TCS and ESM, untill then Im happy to just look at them as say, nice car.

I couldnt agree more with everything that you have said. Wonderfully engineered cars with prestige and luxury but such a useless waste. I mean the only reason to have this car with that kind of power and that kind of money shelled out is to have a Merc. Other than that you are wasting your money. Then again if you can afford this kind of car, you are buying the name and dont care about money anyway. Thats why Mercs are my least favorite cars IMO, but they are impressive...
