However, when talking about CLS tuning projects, there is one developments that's in a class of its own: the Brabus Rocket.
Well, there are various rumors which indicate the Brabus is currently playing with CLS The Second in order to give us the next Rocket. Since we're talking about such a special car, waiting can literally be painful.
Fortunately, we now have a painkiller, in the form of the adjacent rendering, which gives us an idea of what the new Rocket could look like. Thanks to PS-Garage, we can now feast our eyes with what might just be the world's fastest four-door coupe - this was the title received by the original Rocket, when it came to the world in 2005.
Before we end this story, we'll remind you what the "old" Rocked packs: the driver gets to punish the road with 730 hp and 810 lb-ft (1,100) Nm of torque. The torque actually had to be electronically limited, with the original figure being 970 lb-ft (1,320 Nm).
All this power means that the vehicle could hit 62 mpg from a standing start in 4 seconds flat, while the 0 to 124 mph (200 km/h) sprint was covered in 10.5 seconds. As for the top speed, this sits at 227.2 mph (365.7 km/h), being electronically limited to 220 mph (350 km/h).
Sorry for the pain...
