We first shared Piper Motorsport<\/a>‘s amazing Frankenbenz project in 2015<\/a>. The project’s lofty goal was wrap a Mercedes 190E body around a C63 AMG chassis. Thus giving the classic sedan AMG’s amazing 6.2 L M156 V8, SpeedShift seven-speed transmission, suspension, brakes, and electronics. The company recently installed a supercharger, finished body\/paint and is working on final assembly. Hopefully we see it driving very soon.<\/p>\n
