The guys in Bottrop are working their magic again... this time with their all new, $500,000 C-Coupe featuring their renowned 6.3L V12 Biturbo w/ quad intercooler cores and 800HP at the crank.

The car is based on the 5.5L M275 from the 600 series and a C-350. Not AMG vehicle and not AMG 6.0L motor.

 

 

I find it a bit ugly and the front bumper reminds me of an old EVO

 

Brabus facility in Bottrop where the motor and car is built:

 

I think those rims are perfection.

 

So badass!

 

Wow. Could do without the rear spoiler though.

 

500Gs??? For that? Uhhh...... no

 

It's a very special car... it's not just a random "bore-a-v12/stuff-a-v12" job... this is all custom made, one-off type of stuff. Crazy expensive for a C350 Coupe based car? Yes.

 

It would be interesting to learn more about the intake plumbing. Looks like the air filter edges seal against the hood. I'd guess that outside air enters beneath the bumper near the LED - but how does it get up to the air filters?

 

Nice photos Oxygen; rep points to you dude...

 

look at the 6th picture (underside of the hood). it's cowl induction.

very neat project! would I spend $.5 mil on it? no, but then again I don't have $.5 mil to spend on anything

 

It is definitely a unique exercise in excess. However, given the scope of available technology apparent in the facility and the displacement of the motor, they could have easily gotten the thing into triple digits and made a Veyron crusher. There are 800 HP turbo Porsches running around out there that can be had for half of what that car cost. If you're going out on a limb, then go all the way out.

 

Seems a tad overpriced...

 

I saw a snipit about Brabus on The Science Channel. Their operation is a marvel to watch. I even saved it on my DVR. I see this go fast rich kids' toy and I wish that I was able to have a toy and the lifestyle that goes with it!!
