Last year, the German Federal Traffic Ministry and the Association of German Automobile Tuners (VDAT) created the Tune It Safe! program, the goal of which is to encourage drivers to adopt safe and legal tuning practices (and presumably have them employ established German tuning firms to do so). To highlight the program, TechArt created a Porsche 911 Carrera S police car for the Essen Motor Show, where it would be displayed as the world's fastest police car.

With the Essen show coming up again next month, Tune It Safe! had to follow up the TechArt Porsche with something equally impressive, and turned to another well-known supertuner from Deutschland -- Brabus -- for the assist. The result, as you'd expect, is far from disappointing.

Sporting full police livery in the Tune It Safe! booth this year will be one of Brabus' jaw-droppingly powerful CLS V12 S Rocket sedans. With 730 twin-turbocharged horses stampeding under its hood, the Rocket lives up to its moniker with a 225.19 mph top speed.

God forbid you should ever see one of these things materialize in your rearview with its gumballs flashing, because outrunning it is not on your list of options.

That's a nice touch. Occasionally, some of the fellas at my track will modify a police car for power and we usually get one of the officers that patrols our track to take for a test drive. Of course down here, we are talking Nissan Tsurus (early 90s Sentra design) and Dodge Neons, nothing like this beautiful CLS.

they should redesign the light on the roof. Not good from aerodynamic point of view. may be use LED lights instead?

Dude! That cop car is SICK!! :thumbup:

Wow, I can't believe how much that front bumper & the exterior paint uglify(is there such a word ?;) ) an otherwise beautiful car :(

I won't want to see that in my rear view mirror though . . .

i wouldnt go that far :p but yes its very nice :thumbup:

I agree about the lights on top, would look 10x better if they had them behind the rear window. Would look much cleaner.


I still wouldnt mind driving it, i think its (on the kickass 1-10 scale) about a 8.0, now the 730hp is a straight 10

Not a fan :dunno:

all i got to say is CLS is damn sexy.....Whoever design it know was today generation wants.:D
