"Bullit"? How dare they?

 

[fritzl]

A C-Class for half a million. That makes sense.

 

[DNW]

The front looks like a Honda Civic.

 

[johnapril]

Good thing it's not quick.

I promise if you tried to drive that around the Southern US it'd overheat.

 

[zjpj83]

Wonder how long that engine will last

 

[nootje]

the cls brabus broke down during the public test drive, I guess this hideous thing wont fare any better..

 

[speedster.8]

It started with the E-class Rocket afairc. blistering performance, awesome sound (almost SLR). but the ones that have been tested on 5th gear & Topgear have not been to stable ...

974 ft lbs......how will the car even hook up off the line, I'd imagine the rear would just go up in smoke with the mere thought of feathering the throttle.

Couple years back the boys from one of Brit mags (I forget which) took E-Class Brabus V12 onto autobahn and dialed as much as 190MPH on it.
Which, once you factor in its family car origin, must've been a mental ******* experience

Losing along a handful of 2-door sports cars whose owners looked as though somebody hit'em with a metal pipe upside the head

They come with Launch Mode, I reckon.
Increasing number of producers of cars packing hang-on-to-your-dear-nuts amounts of horsepower tend to do that these days.

@ fritzl
Do you remember the 500E that Porsche made for MB ?
That rig was insane in the brain
