| Brabus Rocket 800 - a modification from the Mercedes-Benz CLS-Class |
In the event Frankfurt Motor Show 2011, the 64th international motor show that took place from September 13 to 25, 2011 in Frankfurt, Germany, Brabus, one of the tuners for the German car manufacturer, Mercedes-Benz, showcased a CLS which it had turned into a speed demon. It was then called the Rocket 800. |

whether you judge it by its aesthetics or technical aspect, Brabus seems to have done its homework very seriously. On the aesthetics part, you'll find more air intakes around the front grille and on the front bumper. Additionally, this Mercedes-Benz tuner has also added a diffuser wing besides a spoiler. And, to make the German luxury sedan look even more appealing, a set of 4 Brabus Monoblock F Platinum Edition wheels is used. On the other hand, when you take a look at the interior of this formerly Mercedes-Benz CLS-Class, you'll find a comprehensive list of luxury items that are typical to Brabus.
Bearing the emblem Rocket 800, this car should be able to perform as expected. Fortunately, for the 2012 version, the Brabus Rocket 800 features a V12 engine under its hood. With this engine, the car is able to burst out 800 HP and a torque of 811 lb/ft at the maximum. Additionally, Brabus has also equipped the model with AMG Speedshift MCT 7-speed manual transmission. As a result, all the car will need are short 3.7 seconds to accelerate from a complete standstill to 60 mph.

However, being one of the fastest luxury sedans in the world to date, Brabus is not going to offer the Rocket 800 at a price that will seem affordable to most people. In fact, the price is pretty fantastic. You'll need to take a sum of 429,000 euros out of your pocket to take this car home with you.
