The first Brabus Rocket was based on the Mercedes-Benz C 219 and was equipped with the most powerful Brabus engine of the time. The Rocket was officially a Brabus model, so all Mercedes-Benz emblems were replaced by Brabus logos, the only thing left is a Mercedes-Benz star on the steering wheel .
Like Mercedes-Benz , Brabus describes this vehicle as a four-door coupé . However, by the usual definition, it is a four-door sports sedan . In relation to the formerly fastest production sedan in the world, the Brabus E V12 , the Brabus Rocket was also named by Brabus as a four-door coupé because it does not replace the E V12, but is another fastest production vehicle in the world in its own class.
A special feature of the Brabus Rocket is the fact that Brabus gave this vehicle a name for the first time in addition to the usual model designation.
The basic price for the Brabus Rocket was 416,000 euros.
