Brabus Rockets to 366km/h World Record

World fastest street legal sedan

BRABUS has been building the world's fastest street-legal sedans for several years running. This 'tradition' started in 1996 with the 330-km/h BRABUS E V12 and reached the next level in 2003 in the guise of the 350.2-km/h E V12 Biturbo. In 2006 the BRABUS ROCKET, built in small-series production and based on the Mercedes CLS series, improved the world record to 362.4 km/h. But the BRABUS R&D team wouldn't be the top-notch engineers they are if they were satisfied with that achievement. That's why in mid-October of 2006 they once more made the trek to the world-famous high-speed circular track in Nardo, Southern Italy. Under the keen eyes of the German Technical Inspection Agency (TÜV Süd) the 348,000-Euro ultra-performance automobile improved the world record for street-legal sedans to 365.7 km/h.

Nice stuff thanks

Just_me posted the official test by AMuS and amazingly, as dominix said there was vehicles which were even faster

but nobody can deny this speed, espeically for a sedan.

I want one...but i don't want to pay for it

Really crazy! one things` for sure, the wheels on this CLS don`t look good at all!

Maby thay allow less drag than the standard CLS63 wheels.

Don't worry, the Rocket come proper Brabus alloys, i assume those wheels were only fitted for the high speed test (to, as you said, allow less drag)
