BRABUS QATAR

NBK was

established in 1957 by the late Sheikh Nasser Bin Khaled Al-Thani, Nasser Bin Khaled Automobiles is Qatar's exclusive distributor of three of the world's most respected, iconic brands: May Bach, Mercedes-Benz and SLR

The latest BRABUS special model, based on a Mercedes-Benz vehicle, delivers performance that only a very few of the world's super sports cars can match.

The ROCKET engine is powered by a twin-turbo BRABUS SV12 S engine, fitted into the tight confines of the two-door's engine bay with almost surgical precision. The engine is based on the latest 600-series twelve-cylinder engine and was developed by BRABUS with the goal of combining maximum power with exquisite running smoothness and maximum environmental friendliness.

The engine peripherals also underwent numerous modifications: Larger turbochargers, a more efficient intercooling system and a stainless-steel high-performance exhaust system with four exhaust pipes and low-back-pressure metal catalysts are all part of the engine concept. Newly programmed engine electronics orchestrate the perfect interaction of all new components and contribute not only to maximum power yield but also to meeting the latest EURO IV emission limits.

Power is transferred to the rear wheels via a modified five-speed automatic transmission and the BRABUS locking differential. To keep the enormous performance potential of the world's fastest sedan safely in check at all times the vehicle's aerodynamics, suspension and brakes were modified extensively

To make the suspension even more agile and safe, BRABUS engineers and test drivers in cooperation with Bilstein have developed a custom-calibrated height-adjustable coil-over suspension for the ROCKET. Maximum stopping power is yet another active safety feature offered by the BRABUS ROCKET. The high-performance brake system features vented ceramic brake discs in size 375 x 36 mm (14.8 x 1.42 inches) and 12-piston aluminum fixed calipers on the front axle.

BRABUS is the world's largest independent automobile tuner and considered to be a car manufacturer by the German Federal Motor Vehicle Registration Agency. It was recently voted 'Most Popular Tuning Brand' by 'Auto Motor und Sport' for the second year in a row. Its tradition of building legendary special models is as long as it is successful. What started in 1984 with a Mercedes 190 equipped with a V8 engine, led eventually to the BRABUS E V12, that in 1996 set a new world record for fastest street-legal sedan in the Guinness Book of World Records with a top speed of 330 km/hr. Today, that same record is held by the BRABUS ROCKET with a top speed of 365.7 km/h
