Brabus Rocket Bumper

Hello guys,

There are two versions of the Brabus rocket bumper available for the CLS. The first version is the PUR bumper and the carbon fiber add on lippe for both CLS 55 and 500. It is a bumper replacement. Second version is similar like the first version except the bumper is made from carbon fiber too.

First Version
Bumper (PUR)
LIPPE (CF)
Retail : $3000

Second Version
Bumper (CF)
LIPPE (CF)
Retail: $5500

Why is it expensive?
The bumper is limited in availability. Like any other Brabus parts, the bumper is tested and will improve the car aerodymically. In this case, there will be a greater downforce which in turn makes the car faster. Also, the CLS will have an enchance aggressive visual.
For more information on availability and pricing, please contact Kronen.

Note: Information is provided by Brabus North America.

greater downforce doesnt make the car faster, it makes it more stable, usually at the expense of some speed b/c the profile of the bumper/lip/spoiler that is used to increase downforce is made at the expense of some drag.

more drag= less speed.


and u work for a shop?

I heard the Brabus bumper is great in snowy areas...it doubles as a shovel to clear your driveway.
