Default Brabus Rocket CLS

Has anybody seen the spec on this monster!

V12 Bi turbo producing 730bhp, 0-62 in 4secs, 0-124 in 10.5, 0-186 in 29.5 and an electronically limited speed of 217mph, makeing it the worlds fastest production four seater saloon

I never really warmed to the CLS body shell, but this is stunning

0-186 in under 30 secs. Your scoob will take that long to hit 130mph.

Cant knock 730bhp. Shame they have made a total mess of the exterior. Laughable!

I'm glad the mainstream manufacturers are starting to push to boat out.

I'm sure the Zonda will benefit from the work going into the engine!

I don't have a scoob
But my car would match it to 60, and then start loosing out due to my 450bhp defecit ps I max out at 123 due to a close ratio gearbox, but get there in 16s (even with peak power being at 106mph)

The Zonda gets a completely different engine than the CLS, but do get official help from the AMG department.
And incidentally boys, whilst you may be divided on the exterior, sitting in the car is just fabulous, with a nice high waistline and beutiful dash.
