The Motorway<\/a> in Fort Collins, Colorado is currently taking a Mercedes W121 190D sedan and completely replacing the powertrain and suspension with components from a Nissan 350Z. That means the 1.9 L inline-four diesel and factory transmission has been replaced with a 3.5 L VQ35DE V6 and RE5R05A five-speed automatic transmission. The 50-year-old suspension will be replaced with the 350Z’s IRS and IFS including front and rear subframes.<\/p>\n
