An exclusive Mercedes-AMG CLS tuned by Brabus is up for grabs in the Netherlands with roughly 12,000 km (under 7,500 miles) on the counter and a €325,000 asking price before taxes. It cost €429,000 when it just came out eleven years ago.
The Brabus 800 Rocket is based on an extensively customized second-generation example of the CLS-Class. It commands a twin-turbo V12 bored out to 6223cc (6.223 liters) of displacement. Special turbochargers, air intake and exhaust systems and optimized ECU settings allow it to send 800 PS (789 hp / 588 kW) and 1,100 Nm (811 lb-ft) of torque to the wheels. The car sprints 0-100 km/h (0-62 mph) in 3.7 seconds and can – in theory, at least – exceed 370 km/h (230 mph) under ideal conditions.
The exterior immediately draws attention to itself thanks to a typical Brabus body kit and 19-inch aftermarket wheels. The interior features new upholstery, a different steering wheel and aluminum pedal pads. The seller claims all units are in excellent condition.
