Not really any special news regarding the CL Rocket, meaning that it was a given to happen--although I doubt the moniker "rocket" will be used for the CL. The new SV12 has the same power as the CLS, sans the "rocket" denomination. Frankly, the "rockets" have so much traction problems that the 65 AMGs are faster in any setting, and quite a lot cheaper and, to me, better looking. About the only advantage the rockets hold over the AMGs for the S and CL is the fact that Brabus tends to be less skimpy about tire dimension than does AMG--275mm rear tires may work for the regular 550 cars, not AMGs.
