You have to be a big petrolhead to pay €398.000 excluding taxes for a Mercedes-Benz. Well, a four-door Benz. This is the sum Brabus asks for the 800 Rocket. Only a few will be made but for Brabus that’s enough to keep customers pleased. One of these copies appeared on Autogespot lately. It’s the first time this car gets spotted. You would expect it to be spotted in Germany, but it is spotted on the other side of the Channel, the United Kingdom.
He have seen ourselves how specialized Brabus is on the surface of building new engines. We don’t talk about just replacing some parts. Brabus starts with a stock engine, every single part is produced by Brabus itself. This particular result has the strongest v12 Brabus offers at the moment, the 800. 800 is the number of bhp’s produced by the car, quite a lot for a saloon car. The 800 Rocket is good enough for a topspeed of 320 kph or 350 kph, it depends what tires the car is fitted with. This topspeed is limited to prevent any possible accidents but Brabus itself was able to reach a speed of 376 kph with this car on Nardo. Only 23.8 seconds were needed to reach 300 kph.
The 800 Rocket can be recognized by all kinds of details. The most obvious ones are the air intakes, the small Brabus-logos and the extra rearspoiler. In this case the spoilers aren’t just for fun, Brabus thinks everything about their product must be functional. On the moment of writing this isn’t the only 800-version Brabs offers. Brabus also has got the 800 E V12 Cabriolet , 800 E V12 "One Of Ten", Bullit Coupé 800, Brabus 800 Widestar, Brabus 800 Roadster and SV12 R Biturbo 800 with the 800-addition. More than enough choice if you want an 800-bhp Brabus!
