Earlier this month, the BRABUS BULLIT Coupe 800 celebrated its world debut at the 2012 Geneva Motor Show. The Bullit is based on the two-door Mercedes C 63 AMG model. In place of the 6.3-liter fast-revving V8 that powers the production car, a twelve-cylinder engine, the BRABUS 800 V12 Biturbo brings the beast to life.
