Mechatronik in Pleidelsheim, Germany specializes in Mercedes restorations and restomods. The company went through this 1970 Mercedes W111 and upgraded every major part. They swapped the engine, transmission, and rear end from a AMG SLK 55. The 5.5 L V8 produces 415 horsepower (310 kW) and 398 lb-ft (540 Nm) of torque through a 7-speed automatic (AMG SPEEDSHIFT PLUS) transmission.

I’ve been dreaming about one of these for years. Unless I hit a BIG PowerBall I’m afraid it will remain forever out of my price range.
They should have done it up to look like The Red Pig racecar…
The one in this article is probably priced at $450K. I’m sure they would hook you up with one for some similar monies.
This is resto mid done to the extreme and with more class than I’ve ever seen. Very nice
