Brabus B63 S based on Mercedes C63 AMG

Brabus B63 S

The ultimate Brabus C-Class is of course the matte black monster that is the Brabus Bullit Black Arrow, (and its silver Brabus Bullit cousin) which shoe-horns a 6.3 liter twin turbocharged V12 into its engine bay, but for someone who already has the top of the C63 AMG line from Mercedes-Benz themselves and prefers to work on the 6.2 liter normally aspirated V8 instead, Brabus has the Brabus B63 S Performance Kit.

The tune-up kit consists of a free-flow performance catalyst, sports air filters, and an ECU tuning kit to boost the engine’s power output by 73 horses from 457hp to 530hp. Peak torque is also upped by 50Nm to a massive 650Nm now, which gives it a torque to displacement ratio that exceeds 100Nm per liter. A total of 0.4 seconds is shaved off the 0 to 100km/h sprint time, which now clocks in at 4.1 seconds.

So… “budget Bullit” anyone? Look for more photos after the jump.

    Not typo error la MyviKiller.

    Those German decide to call it `Bullit’, so Bullit it is.
    What does it means actually…??

    it’s not a typo, the real Bullit is a 720bhp/1100Nm monster with a top speed of 360KPH.
    check the link Paul provided in the bracket in the 2nd row.

    nicely done with the black hue, but would prefer a more understated rim tho like a BBS or something similar.

    this actually looks better than the bullitt, and wat does bullitt have to do with a c-class, steve mcqueen didn’t drive a c-klasse, did he?

    The Bullit Paul is referring to is the Brabus Bullit, which is based on a C-Class, not the Steve McQueen movie or the recent horrid Mustang special edition of the same name.

    bullit and bullitt is not to be confused. the single t bullit means bullet in german, where as bullitt refers to the movie steve mcqueen that he was in. he drove a modified ford mustang as was made into a ‘bullitt’ special edition by ford. google that and ull find out. on the side note, already ordered a w204 c200k avantgarde, hopefully be out by CNY
