This is beyond sex.

Its always the Lambo's, Rolls' and Porche's that get the attention. However, little do they know, the famous tuning company Brabus has been cooking something up that will blow the doors of your precious orange Lambo or red Porche. Ladies and Gentlemen, I give you, the 2008 Mercedes-Benz C63 Brabus Bullitt Black Arrow. Incase you don't know, tuning a car voids the warrantly. Unless of course, you're Brabus. Every so often, Mercedez Benz lets Brabus pimp out a few of their rides, and backs up the warrany, and for good reason.



Of course, cars with all looks and no speed are boring. The Black Arrow is designed to be just the opposite. That is why Brabus has crammed an enlarged version of the 6.3 litre, bi-turbo V-12 from the S600 underneath the hood. The result is 730 horsepower and 974 lbs/ft that had to be limited to a still staggering 811 lbs/ft. The aerodynamic kit was wind tunnel tested to the max; that must be why it can go over 225mph.

Furthering my theory that everything good in this world has carbon fibre on it, Brabus has seemed to want to put it on everything possible.

I just want to go over again, 730 horsepower and 974 lbs/ft that had to be limited to a still staggering 811 lbs/ft. The aerodynamic kit was wind tunnel tested to the max; that must be why it can go over 225mph. Just so you know.

Best of all, you can get it in any color you want, as long as its black.

Onto the straight goods...


















I think my favorite thing about this car is how low-profile it looks. It doesn't look like the type of car that does 225mph+, and yet, beneath the hood is 12 cylinders of raw, soul crushing, power.
