Brabus Birthday Bash
A little something Brabus will unwrap on its 30th birthday at the Frankfurt auto show next month. The tuner teases only that it's a "wolf in sheep's clothing" and a Mercedes.
BOTTROP, Germany — Brabus, the famed German tuning house begun in 1977 by Bodo Buschmann, marks its 30th anniversary this fall at the 2007 Frankfurt Auto Show, with the launch of a new high-performance Mercedes model that it describes only as a "wolf in sheep's clothing."
The company also will unveil a redesigned Web site.
Brabus' long tradition of hyper-tuned Mercedes-Benz vehicles revolves around a simple but effective formula: Stuff an oversize engine under the hood, beef up the suspension and keep the exterior add-ons to a minimum.
Among its more notable achievements in recent years are the E V12, which in 1996 established a new mark for fastest street-legal sedan, and the current record holder, the Brabus Rocket, which set an official top speed of 227 mph.
What this means to you: We hope for at least 30 more years of heart-stopping supercars from Bottrop.

Keep in mind what Brabus has mentioned; "wolf in sheep's clothing."
It's most definitely a C-Class or a Benz sedan of some sort, tuned to some monstrous level and likely looking low-key exterior-wise.

isnt benz supposed to release the new e-class at the frankfurt show also? if so i say they come back with tuned v12 in the new e-class. if not the c-class with a v12...a tite squeeze but it is brabus
But as their previous CLS rocket ship, it's over $400k, crazy price
At the end of the day, it's a damn cls.........just a super duper fast one.
Their wheel design hasn't changed in ages unlike AMGs
