In this day and age, the term super-saloon has never
been more diverse than when you can have both extreme luxury as well as
over-the-top performance in the same package.
The Brabus Rocket 900 is based on the
Mercedes-Maybach S600 and is mainly aimed at people who look at a Mulsanne
Speed and think "oh boy, I'd never make any of my meetings in time with
this thing."
Let's get serious about it, though. In the end, this
car packs a huge amount of power and since this Mercedes goes by the name
Rocket 900, you can pretty much tell where things are heading.
Its biturbo V12 engine is good for 900 PS and a whopping 1,500 Nm of torque, leading to a 0-100 km/h acceleration time of 3.7 seconds, and a top speed of 350 km/h.
In order to make this car look more distinguished
compared to a "regular" Maybach, Brabus have added a new front bumper,
custom grille, new rear bumper with integrated diffuser, 21" wheels and a
luscious dual-tone full-leather interior.
The cost of doing business? Roughly € 500,000
(US$ 536,000). Then again, with a name like the "Rocket", there was no
way this was going to be reasonably priced.
