Those speed-crazed engineers at Brabus have done it again and come up with the world's fastest saloon.
This time, the German loony tuners have shoehorned a twin turbo 6.2-litre V12 engine into a CLS to create a 225mph monster, appropriately called the Rocket.
The engine produces some 730bhp after Brabus has worked its magic, and it also has a whopping 974lb ft of torque.
For road use, the Rocket has a speed limiter fitted that holds it back to 350kph, or 219mph.
Nought to 60mph takes four seconds, but more telling is the 0-125mph time of just 10.5 seconds.
Hauling all of this to a stop are ceramic brakes discs that hide behind 19in alloy wheels.
The tyres on the Rocket have been specially developed by Yokohama to cope with the power and performance.
If you fancy a slice of this sort of lunacy, and God knows we do, you'll have to dig down the back of the sofa for around £250,000.
