If you’ve been looking for an excuse to settle down and have a family, This is it. This Brabus CLS Shooting Brake 850 is the only thing that can save you from the maddening boredom of family life. It’s a Mercedes, it’s a wagon, and it has 850 horsepower.

That means your wife would be happy because you’ve bought a station wagon Mercedes which is classy, safe and comfortable and has plenty of space for kid stuff in the back. What she doesn’t know is this car has a nuke under the bonnet. So you drop off the kids at day care or whatever, flick the traction control knob to Sport+, open up the exhaust valves, and go do man stuff until it’s time to pickup the kids again. Just be careful you set the exhaust back to normal because, as you can hear in this video, Brabus CLS Shooting Brake 850 is so loud in full attack mode, it can terrify the bejesus your children:

Yep, this is definitely our kind of family car!
