Think of it as an ever so slightly less ostentatious Galibier.

German tuner Brabus will be bringing this extra crazy CLS to the Frankfurt Motor Show. The old Brabus CLS, known as the Brabus Rocket was the fastest sedan in the world and this successor looks to be just as impressive.

The Rocket's V12 engine produces a Galibier scaring 789 horsepower and 1047 ft-lbs of torque. In conjunction with the 7-speed AMG transmission the Rocket will go from a stop to 60 in 3.7 seconds and will make it to 186 in 23.8. No word on top speed, but the acceleration sure seems fun. 

If you want to make one yours you had better start pinching pennies though, since the €429,000 price is a bit steep.
