This is incredible 362 km/h with a E55!

The E55 that puts out 725hp with a maximum torque of about 1000NM.

I saw it on 500sec.com, what kind of modification did he do?

Only the dial changed and keep the mechanism the same?

This seems rather steep.

Isn't that the 800+ hp Brabus CLS?

It must be an after market speedo, at least, as the metric ones dont go to 400kph - see Finny's awesome photos above.
He did just over 300kph in a modded E55.

The gearing is also non-standard E55 as at 6200rpm the speed should be 344kph (54.5km/1000rpm in top gear), and not as indicated.

No, the Brabus CLS ROCKET is an 730-hp / 537-kW 6.3-liter twelve-cylinder twin-turbo engine and this is a 'V8 Kompressor' with a modified speedometer from the E55!

So does anybody knows what modify he could have done?

They said the same about my picture with 305 and 306 km/h on the speedo! They are my own! And Brabus did it with an official record, so nothing is impossible!

So who is gullible?

I smell a dyno.....

If you look at the second speedo pic (340 km/h), the display reads BAS (brake assist) not available. This comes on along with the ABS and ESP disabled message when the car is put into dyno mode. My guess is they put the car on a dyno to do that picture.

I don't think so, because BARABUS will not leave any AMG logo on the dash, also the ROCKET is a B-turbo not a Kompressor
