"Brabus has jammed a 730hp, 1,320Nm, twin-turbo, 6.2-litre V12 in there!"

IS THAT NAME FOR REAL?
Yes, Brabus really did call it the Bullit Black Arrow, apparently. It started life as a C-Class saloon.

CRIKEY, IT LOOKS MEAN. WHAT HAS BRABUS DONE?
Gone bananas, it seems, and jammed a 730hp, 1,320Nm, twin-turbo, 6.2-litre V12 in there. Torque has to be limited to 1,100Nm, though.

THAT CAN'T HAVE BEEN AN EASY JOB.
The engine bay, bulkhead and exhaust system had to be re-engineered and just about everything re-enforced to handle the performance.

SO? HOW FAST?
0-100km/h takes 3.9 seconds (traction is probably an issue) but, more tellingly, 0-300km/h takes 24.5 seconds. Top speed is 'beyond' 360km/h.

HOW DOES IT STAY ON THE GROUND?
The BBBA's kit was developed in the wind tunnel to optimise radiator and brake cooling, reduce lift and generate downforce at silly speeds.

ANYTHING ELSE I SHOULD KNOW?
The BBA also boasts an adjustable, bespoke suspension, a special LSD, 12-piston brakes, 19-inch wheels and ESP as standard.
