Dubai: Gargash Enterprises, general distributor for Mercedes-Benz and Brabus vehicles in Dubai, Sharjah and the Northern Emirates, has been representing the Brabus brand in the UAE since 1997.

Brabus, which recently celebrated its 30th anniversary, has chose Dubai motor show to unveil the latest addition to its super car range - the Brabus Rocket.

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 idea of dropping an immensely powerful engine into the engine bay of a sedan with almost indiscernible exterior modifications now reaches its latest pinnacle with the debut of a new 'wolf in sheep's clothing.'

"The advances achieved by Brabus in the Rocket start from a high baseline," stated Wassim Derbi, Marketing Manager of Gargash Enterprises. "With cutting edge technology, style and performance, this model clearly outperforms its competitors and is already a winner with our discerning customers."

The Rocket is powered by a twin-turbo Brabus SV12 S engine, fitted into the tight confines of the four-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.

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.
