Mechatronik transformed this 1969 Mercedes 280 SL (W113) into one of their “M-SL 500” models. In the engine bay sits a 5.0 L M113 V8 producing 320 hp and 460 Nm (339 lb-ft) of torque. The motor is paired with a drivetrain consisting of a NAG1 five-speed automatic transmission and Mechatronik’s limited-slip differential. The car rides on KW Automotive shocks and 20 mm lowering springs and 15×7-inch H2 wheels. It stops from two-piston calipers with ventilated rotors in front and rebuilt W113 rear brakes.

Mechatronik does incredible work. I wish I could afford to buy one of their conversions…
What a beautiful car. It’s too bad someone my height (6’6″) can’t fit into the car without replacing that beautiful steering wheel.
Is there a mercedes shop in the usa? doing swaps?
