PHOTO GALLERY: The fastest, most beautiful sedan on earth?

362.4 km/h: The BRABUS ROCKET, built in small-series production based on the Mercedes CLS series, is the world's fastest sedan. During test runs on the high-speed track in the southern Italian town of Nardo the 348,000-euro high-performance automobile improved upon the previous record of 350.2 km/h, held also by BRABUS with the E V12 Biturbo.

The heart of the new record car is the twin-turbo V12 engine from the latest Mercedes 600
models. It was fitted into the tight confines of the four-door with almost surgical precision.
BRABUS (Brabus-Allee, D-46240 Bottrop, phone + 49 / (0) 2041 / 777-0, fax + 49 / (0) 2041 /
777 111, Internet www.brabus.com) increases displacement to 6,233 ccm with a special
crankshaft, larger cylinder bore and forged pistons. In addition the engine is extensively
modified internally: Airflow in both intake and outlet manifolds of both cylinder heads is
optimized and sport camshafts are installed.

without the three-pointed-star emblem, this gorgeous cls really resembles the infinity g, doesn’t it?
a manufacturer's logo do make a huge difference in terms of perception in a car..

I know style is a matter of taste, but I have never warmed to this specific Mercedes. There are others, like the SL and the E class, that are gorgeous, IMO.

For 348,000-euro,
how about having a CLS 63 AMG for Luxury+Sportiness and a SL 65 AMG for pure power,performance and Fun.

1 more example:
Instead of buying a Maybach 57S,how about having an S600L for all the luxury and an SL 65 AMG for playing or having fun with it's brute power and performance.
