Brabus Tuned 225MPH Monster

[Thmsshaun]

WOW WOW WOW

Brabus saloon rockets to 225mph
Those speed-crazed engineers at Brabus have done it again and come up with the world's fastest saloon.

This time, the German loony tuners have shoehorned a twin turbo 6.2-litre V12 engine into a CLS to create a 225mph monster, appropriately called the Rocket.

The engine produces some 730bhp after Brabus has worked its magic, and it also has a whopping 974lb ft of torque.

For road use, the Rocket has a speed limiter fitted that holds it back to 350kph, or 219mph.

Nought to 60mph takes four seconds, but more telling is the 0-125mph time of just 10.5 seconds.

Hauling all of this to a stop are ceramic brakes discs that hide behind 19in alloy wheels.

The tyres on the Rocket have been specially developed by Yokohama to cope with the power and performance.

If you fancy a slice of this sort of lunacy, and God knows we do, you'll have to dig down the back of the sofa for around £250,000.

I would, but still not happy with the restricted view caused by the large wing mirrors.

there's a CLS Brabus Rocket for sale on Mobile.de if anyone's interested for 460,900 euro's. I think I'll stick with my 1995 Brabus S Class, 100kph in 4.5 seconds, 200kph in 11.5 seconds and 320kph flat out and all for a bargain £30K, and with just over 160,000 kilometres on the clock she has never let me down. (hope I have not spoken too soon).

That's still pretty insane!

I almost bought a Smart ForFour Brabus (just for the sheer hell of it), but that is a rather pedestrian 6.9 secs
