German preparer Brabus transformed a “shy” Mercedes C-Class into a missile with 800hp…
There are several types of cars and then there is a very restricted category of cars that also have four wheels, they also look like a car but they are not cars. They are, yes, asphalt missiles! Missiles with steering wheel, radio, mirrors and sometimes even air conditioning…
Brabus' most recent creation (monstrous…) clearly belongs to this category of «cars-that-look like-cars-but-are-missiles». These gentlemen from Brabus, who are known for not being exaggerated at all (…) decided to take a C-Class Coupé and try to make it, simply, the most powerful “C” in the world. Did you succeed? It seems so. Like? They mounted a V12 engine from the S-Class right up front, and gave it steroids until it developed, nothing less than 780hp of power and 1100Nm of torque.
The torque generated is so great that it had to be electronically limited for the transmission and gearbox to withstand the strain! Those who certainly won't withstand all this sea of power are the poor rear tires, the only ones responsible for trying to put all this power on the ground. Given the figures presented, it is certain that even in 5th gear, this car will have enough power to disturb the traction control. A system that will not have an easy life at all...
Practical result? Only 3.7 seconds in the 0-100km/h sprint, and 0-200km/h accomplished in less than 10 seconds. Maximum speed? Hold on tight… 370km/h! This is definitely the most powerful C-Class in the world. Consumption was not disclosed, but should be close to those achieved by the Airbus A-380. The price is the same story, €449,820 in Germany, before tax. An account value don't you think?
