After introducing a slightly tweaked Mercedes-Benz A200 CDI last week, Brabus returned to its usual habit of turning very fast cars into ludicrous machines.
Their latest creation, which will be showcased during next month's Geneva Motor Show, is based on the 630 horsepower (737 lb-ft of torque) Mercedes-Benz CL 65 AMG Roadster.

As if the the 6.0-liter bi-turbo V12 engine wasn't powerful enough, Brabus managed to get it up to 800 HP and a limited 1,047 lb-ft of torque, for a 0 to 62 mph (100 km/h) sprint of 3.7 seconds and a top speed of 217 mph (350 km/h). And we thought, the "regular" AMG was a lightning-fast roadster!

This isn't the only modification the car gained, Brabus also including a carbon fiber wind tunnel-developed aerodynamic body kit, 20-inch alloy wheels, high-performance tires, limited-slip differential and a fully customizable interior with trim sets in "any color imaginable".
