I'm all for hot sports cars, but if I were Chad McQueen I'd be considering a lawsuit over this one. The gall of those Germans... using OUR name on one of THEIR cars!

All you'll see of this "Bullit" is its taillights, though. "The car sprints from 0 – 100 km/h (62 mph) in just 3.9 seconds, reaches 200 km/h (124 mph) after just 10.49 seconds and shatters the 300-km/h (186 mph) barrier after a mere 24.5 seconds. Top speed is more than 360 km/h (224 mph)." --Digiads (Holy Horsepower, Batman!)

Are they going to sell it here though?

Dunno. Was in such a state of shock I didn't even finish reading the article!
Here's all I could find:
"The BRABUS BULLIT is built on demand starting at 348,000 Euros MSRP." --Digiads (I guess this would include people of means here in the good ol' U.S. of A.) ????

I can buy a whole lotta stuff for 523,654.75

 

[DavidMidgley]

That's more than ten Bullitts fully loaded, eight Shelby GT 500's, a couple of KRs...


you get the flick.

You could buy 52,300 ford Festivas for that kinda money.Or one Saleen S7 TT Competition and smoke that car.:badgrin:

With a top speed of over 224 MPH, the owner better make sure it's are not riding on old rubber!

Smoke it like a cheap cigar!:wink:

Oh yeah, I almost forgot. I'll take one Feista and keep the change for something else. Like airline tickets to places I want to go. ;-)

Sup, Mark? Talk to me about this Saleen S7TT. What on Earth does this thing have under the hood that would make it fast enough to waste this Brabus? I'm dying to know. I'm betting my boots that if you're not wearing a gold Rolex, a salesman wouldn't even bother to sit down and talk turkey with you about a Brabus Bullit. It's an interesting car, but seems to have two doors too many. What were they thinking? "Gee, I think I'll take the wife and kids out to the mall today in my 720 h.p. SEDAN..." Go figure.

 

[Madpoodle]

Drop em at the mall, hit the highway.. I see no problem with that...

I'm sticking with the FESTIVA because the chicks love it:wink: Here is a link to a track run of a Saleen S7.See if you are not impressed.http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aUUQfrZ7Xi4
I'm sure the Brabus Bullit hasn't got a damn thing on this car,Except some extra doors and panty type comfort features.

I think the first six words of the article answer your question...

"The Ultimate Wolf in Sheep’s Clothing"


That thing is awesome!!

I have a friend who works for Merc and said that this is the baddest car that they have ever built. He said at 194 MPH, a set of roof fins are programmed to raise and adjust to windspeed, along with the suspension to help the car drop so that it can reach top speed.

2236 could do that to if I wanted :lol:

It is at that. Lotta dough, though. Lotta dough.

 

[RCSignals]

Merc? Merc = Mercury :wink:

 

[cdynaco]

At least they could have spelled it "Bullet".

 

[BiteTheBullitt0793]

personally, i would have to go with the 52,300 festivas. i would then give all members of IMBOC a couple dozen or so each, and then we could also have festiva nationals! festiva auto cross, festiva demo derby, festiva mud bog, etc... you get the picture. :badgrin: :badgrin: :badgrin:
