The New Brabus Rocket 800 is Exactly what its Name Suggests


Do you remember the Brabus Rocket, the CLS based model from the german tuner? If not, it has been the fastest four door sedan on earth with a top speed of 365 Km/h thanks to a 6.3-Liter V12 developping a scary 730 hp. But with the second generation CLS already on the market for several months, BRABUS decided to introduce a replacement for its Rocket model too. The new Rocket 800, as its name suggests, pump out a whopping 800 Hp thanks to a 6.3-Liter Twin-turbo version of the almighty AMG V12 engine. The new performance numbers are even more astonishing with a 0 to 100 Km/h acceleration in 3.7 seconds and a top speed of 370 km/h (230 mph) which has been electronically limited to 350 Km/H (217 mph).

Outside, the 4 door coupe has new wider front and rear wheel arches, side skirts and a slightly modified front facia with additional air vents. Of course the inevitable daytime LEDs made their appearence. The whole package remains attractive nonetheless. You can check by your self in the gallery below.


Mercedes-Benz is going to Produce the CLS Shooting Brake Concept



After the first generation of the CLS four door coupe has been judged as a success by Mercedes-Benz with 170,000 units sold worldwide, the German marque is now willing to further extend the CLS range by greenlighting the CLS Shooting Brake for production starting in 2012. The CLS Shooting Brake concept was presented earlier this year in the Bejing Motor Show and has been positively welcomed by the media and the fans. The CLS Shooting Brake will benefit from the same powertrain options available for the coupe including a CLS63 AMG version.
