229 mph! BRABUS ROCKET---The World's Fastest Sedan

730HP BRABUS S V12 S BITURBO ENGINE

The BRABUS ROCKET, built in small-series production based on the Mercedes-Benz CLS series, is the world's fastest sedan. During test runs on the high-speed track of Nardo, Italy, the 348,000-euro high-performance automobile beat the previous record of 217.6 mph, also held by BRABUS' E V12 Biturbo.

At the heart of this world-record-setting car is the twin-turbo V12 engine of the current Mercedes-Benz 600 model. It was fit into the confines of the sedan with surgical precision. BRABUS increases displacement to 6,233 ccm with a special crankshaft, larger cylinder bore and forged pistons. Internally, airflow in both intake and outlet manifolds of the cylinder heads is optimized, and sport camshafts are installed.

BRABUS engine specialists further equip the engine with larger turbochargers, a more efficient intercooling system, and stainless-steel high-performance exhaust system featuring four exhaust pipes and low back-pressure metal catalysts. A reprogrammed ECU orchestrates the perfect interaction of all new components.

The BRABUS S V12 S Biturbo engine is the most powerful TÜV-tested engine of German origin. The maximum power output of 730 hp / 537 kW is produced 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.
