Exactly how fast depends on many factors including the type of vehicle.
While we don't have all the details in our hands yet, given the Brabus brand's previous achievements in the tuning industry, something tells us that its new Special Project Mercedes-Benz Sprinter Ambulance for the desert won’t disappoint when it comes to speed.

There was even a performance version named 500 E from 1990 to 1993 and E500 from 1994 to 1995, which was developed in close cooperation with Porsche. In fact, Porsche actually hand built the cars at its Rossle-Bau plant in Zuffenhausen, Germany.
The E500 was powered by a specially tuned 5.0-liter V8 engine rated at 322hp (326PS) at 5,700 rpm and 480Nm (354 lb-ft) at 3,900 rpm, allowing for a zero to 100km/h (62mph) sprint time of 5.5 seconds and a top speed of 260km/h (162mph).
With this limited production model, Brabus promises to offer supercar-shredding levels of performance under the guise of a C63 AMG Coupe. Of course, nothing comes for free and the Bullit Coupe 800 commands a supercar price - €378,000 or US$507,000 to be precise.
Brabus engineers started by replacing the regular C63 AMG Coupe's 6.3-liter V8 engine that develops 451hp and 600Nm with the same 6.3-liter twin-turbocharged V12 found under the hood of the limited run Brabus E V12 special, which in turn borrowed the engine from the S600.
Numerous alterations were made to the powerplant itself as well as the body of the C-Class model in order to fit the V12 in the engine bay. The highly modified 12-cylinder unit churns out an amazing 800PS (788hp) at 5,500rpm and a tire-shredding peak torque of 1,420 Nm (1,047 lb-ft), which is electronically limited to 1,100 Nm (811 lb-ft).

The name refers to both the output (120PS or 118bhp) and the number of cars Brabus plans to produce but not to its price that is set at a mind boggling €45,900 or about US$61,600 a piece!

Yet the latest model bearing the Brabus moniker will emit no smoke whatsoever. Certainly not from its tires and not from its exhaust pipe either. This is because the Brabus electric drive is based on the all-electric, zero emissions version of the ForTwo.

However, that doesn't mean you should park anywhere you can because you may be in for an unpleasant surprise upon your return as this owner of what looks like it's the Brabus edition of the ForTwo found out, presumably in Paris, France.
The driver evidently parked the car over a motorized bollard which had enough power to lift the Fortwo partially in the air. Video follows after the break.

For starters, you take the standard twin-turbo 5.5-liter V12 and tune it with a Brabus-developed crankshaft with longer stroke, increased cylinder bore and larger pistons. Now that you have a V12 with a 6.3-liter displacement, you can add four new camshafts and fine-machine the two cylinder heads of the V12 in order to optimize the mixture flow.
