Brabus Rocket CLS V12 S Biturbo
I previously blogged about the Brabus E V12 Biturbo based on the new Mercedes E-class. Brabus brings us another luxurious monster at the Frankfurt Motor Show 2005. This is the Brabus CLS V12 S Biturbo suitably nicknamed as the Brabus Rocket!
![]()
The Brabus Rocket is based on the Mercedes Benz CLS four-door coupe. This engine comes from the Mercedes Benz SL600 which originally had 5.5 liters displacement. It has 500hp at 6000rpm and 800Nm of torque. Brabus replaced the crankshaft, increased the bore and put new forged pistons into the engine. Intake and outlet valves in the cylinder head are also optimized and new racing camshafts are installed.
The result is a 6.3 liter V12 engine has been souped up to produce 730hp at 5100rpm and a mind-blowing 1320 Nm of torque from 2100rpm!
The twin-turbo engine also receives larger turbos, bigger more efficient intercoolers and a performance exhaust system with quad tailpipes sticking out at the rear end.
The car uses a modified 5-speed automatic transmission and transfers power to the rear wheels.
The car is also equipped with new suspensions. There are two choices, one tuned for comfort and one tuned for sports. Brakes have also been upgraded, with the front axle fitted with huge 12 piston calipers on aluminium discs and the back with 6 piston capilers on steel discs. Tyres are 255/35/ZR19 in front and 285/30/ZR19 on the back.
The Brabus CLS V12 S Biturbo “Rocket” goes from 0-100km/h in 4 seconds, and has an electronically limited top speed of 350km/h.
I think for looks alone, I’d pick this over the BMW M6… but the M6 has an SMG gearbox. Hmm…

now days, no need to buy this kind of cars. Msian speed limit is only up to 110km/h and if u go up to 150km/h, ur license can be detained. so u waste 200km/h…..
September 24, 2005 @ 6:24 pm
Wallauwehhhh….
September 24, 2005 @ 6:28 pm
r u sure so much power n torque goes to the rear drive only??this should have been a 4wheel drive…i dont tink rear wheels can cope la…mus be a handful to drive…
September 24, 2005 @ 6:56 pm
Walaoeh….. *drools*
Work 100 years also cant afford this car….. BAD ASS!!
September 24, 2005 @ 9:10 pm
lol reminds me of a person who posted before saying something like: “Paul! Stop making us drool over cars which we can’t afford!” haha.. damn right i must say
September 24, 2005 @ 9:26 pm
6000cc and only using 19″…what a waste…
howver….35 series is already too thin for comfort….
not sure how it will work in this setup though…

Seen the normal CLS on the road a couple a times. I thought it was a different car because of the way the brake lights looked. Very nice. The car that will be replacing the Mercs and Beemers the missus is currently driving.

Damn right! Mad, mad car!!! By the way, E-Nabill, isn’t there a thing that called ‘LSD’? Or maybe they uses Launch Control just like the one in the new M5. But 0-100km/h just 4 seconds? Isn’t that too slow for 1320 Nm torque? I guess it burn too much rubber on take off. Haha!

BAD ASS.
Grey body + Black rims = Power
September 25, 2005 @ 5:06 am
Yeah, but now you’ll hear the BMW boys yakking about random stuff because their precious M5 and M6 is beaten. Probably even a few whinging M3 owners. The ///M car owners are the worst.
This is the meanest sedan (coupe?) I’ve yet to encounter. Must be a beast to drive.
September 25, 2005 @ 9:25 am
Although I am Big Fan on MB cars, but this car really drop my glasses. Exterior and Interior looks like shit….t! Who did this design…..he should be fired!!!…….Performance wise Okaylah!….Really not a perfect combination on this vehicle…….SAT PAI CHOONG gat SAT PAI!! ……Said by Stephen CHOW!!
September 25, 2005 @ 11:10 am
its says limited at 350 km/h
wow that means can go more lagi
when is mercedes gonna join JGTC
September 25, 2005 @ 12:46 pm
they purposedly electronically limited it at 217mph so it wouldn’t take the Brabus E V12’s record at 218mph. i am sure this fella can go faster.
September 25, 2005 @ 1:21 pm

[...] The Audi A7, like it’s name, is a model positioned between the Audi A6 and the Audi A8. It is a direct contender for the Mercedes Benz CLS Coupe, part of a new wave of 4-door “coupes”, which are basically normal sedans with a sporty coupe-like rooflike. [...]
