Mechatronik<\/a> is a company located in Pleidelsheim, Germany that builds classic Mercedes coupes or sedans with modern powertrains. Take for example this 1969 Mercedes-Benz 280 SL (W113) which originally came with a 2778 cc (2.8 L) M130 inline-six. Mechatronik replaced that engine with a 4.3 L M113 E43 V8 from a W202 C43 AMG. The ad states the engine produces 290 hp but other sources list the AMG V8 produces 302 hp and 302 lb-ft of torque. Other amenities installed was a modern automatic transmission, anti-lock brakes and traction control. Of course these upgrades don’t come cheap. The coupe is listed for \u20ac299,000 or about $322,232.<\/p>\n

This video is of another M-SL but it gives you an idea of the wonderful sound that this car would make.
