Auto Talk: Brabus outdoes itself with 230-mph Rocket 800
Brabus has been making supersedans out of Mercedes-Benz four-doors since 1996 when it introduced the first E V12 that could only go 205 miles per hour. With each successive sedan, the German tuner managed to inch that top speed ever higher until recently when it claimed a top speed of 230 mph for the latest E V12 based on the current generation E-Class. As it goes with the standard cars, whatever the E-Class gets can’t be far behind for the CLS-Class. And so Brabus has introduced its second CLS-based super saloon, the Rocket 800, at this year’s Frankfurt Motor Show sporting the same mechanicals as the latest E V12. Funk Flex Find Flex On Google+
