Brabus Rocket CLS

Brabus Rocket, the world's fastest four-door saloon.

The BRABUS ROCKET is powered by a twin-turbo BRABUS SV12 S engine, also available for all current Mercedes-Benz 600 and 65 models with twin-turbo V12 engine, produces a maximum power output of 730 hp / 537 kW at 5,100 rpm. Peak torque is 1,320 Nm, but is limited electronically to 1,100 Nm, available from a low 2,100 rpm.

The top speed of 365.7 km/h, limited electronically for street-legal operation to 350 km/h, is not the only attribute that elevates the BRABUS ROCKET to the very top of its segment. The four-door is also among the fastest accelerating cars in the world: 0 100 km/h in 4.0 seconds, 0 200 km/h in 10.5 seconds, 0 300 km/h in 29.5 seconds are numbers as unique as this exclusive BRABUS automobile itself.

Power is transferred to the rear wheels via a modified five-speed automatic transmission and the BRABUS locking differential.

Mercedes-Benz CLK 63 AMG Black Series

Mercedes-Benz revealed the 2008 CLK63 AMG Black Series — a street legal version of the Official F1 Safety Car. It’s not just the 6.2-litre V8 that’s been sprinkled with the Black Series magic dust either, as everything from the suspension, steering, brakes, interior and exterior have been altered in some way to improve and increase the CLK’s performance.


The Black Series uses AMG’s latest 6.2-litre unit. AMG is hugely proud of this engine. It’s a naturally aspirated V8 that’s their own in its entirety, their first rather than a modified Mercedes engine. It’s had its power boosted in the Black Series too, but it’s still an engine that develops it best at high revs - in stark contrast to its DTM predecessors’. The numbers say the CLK Black Series sprints to 62mph in 4.3 seconds – some 0.3 seconds faster than the standard CLK 63 AMG.
