The German 'Tune It Safe!' government initiative spawned this Brabus Rocket Police Car, which strikes us as slightly ironic given the car features a distinctly lairy 720bhp 6.2-litre V12 that will push the CLS-based saloon to 62mph in four seconds flat. Still, if you're going to tune a Merc to within a lb.ft or two of snapping its axles, you might as well let the safe hands at Brabus do it. But please, don't try this at home.
As the name suggests, the Tune It Safe! programme encourages young tuners to take it easy with their cars by either relaxing with their DIY customisation, or handing the work to professionals like Brabus. Anyone with 350,000 Euros burning a hole in their lederhosen is more than welcome to opt for a Rocket rather than a nitrous oxide kit for their Mk III Golf GTI...
The Brabus Rocket would certainly have no problems keeping up with traffic offenders on the autobahn thanks to a 224mph top speed, although it's sadly yet another police pipe dream that will never see its flashing lights utilised. Shame, that.
