When you can no longer believe your eyes
Can you really believe your eyes when this Mercedes-Benz W150 Type 770 from 1938 suddenly comes knocking in your rear-view mirror at 160 km/h on the highway, looking for room to overtake with its poor-soul light?
Everyone would probably think they were hallucinating at that moment. How crazy would it be if this thing were to pass you at a good 180 km/h and take off?
Yes, there is not a "normal" 7.7-liter 8-cylinder 770 with 169 kW under the hood here, no, the engine from the ML 55 AMG with a good 347 hp is doing its work under the long hood.
Power is one thing, but whether the brakes and suspension are up to the job is another question. Well, there are no limits to creativity, but unfortunately there are.
Unfortunately, the owner of the locked car could not be found, because the modern ML cockpit would have been worth another photo.
P.S. If you would like to see the monumental Benz for yourself, please visit the Retro Classics in Stuttgart, which is still open until Sunday, April 24, 2022. Our full final report on Retro Classics Stuttgart 2022 will follow on Monday.
