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.
