Brabus Rocket



This
automobile, built in small-series production based on the Mercedes CLS model series, is
powered by a 730-hp / 537-kW 6.3-liter twelve-cylinder twin-turbo engine, that was implanted
with almost surgical precision into the engine bay of the four-door. The performance speaks
for itself: 0 – 100 km/h in 4.0 seconds, 0 – 200 km/h in 10.5 seconds, 0 – 300 km/h in 29.5
seconds are just as unique as is the electronically limited top speed of 350 km/h.

Just like with the last iteration of the EV12 -- we'll see if they ever actually produce any more of these, or if this is just a one-off showcar which will make the rounds for promotional purposes....

It is a neat car, though - I'll give them that.

And thanks for the link, Beckhammania23.

Thought I recently saw a blurb in one of the car mags with the Brabus car and it was actually a tick slower than stock "Gee, let me spend a fortune and make it slower" Does anyone ever buy these Brabus cars? And if so, why would you?

i like to ride my bike
^^^ Why wouldn't there be anybody to buy BRABUS?
You got Kleemann too, so anybody who that power
and has the money could buy it.
My guess is that the V12 conversions are more of a
limited edition thats why you dont really see them around.
