The spirit of AMG: "The Silver Pig" by Magnus Walker!

Can you still remember the legendary “Rote-Sau”? That was a Mercedes Benz 300 SEL AMG and the top model of what was then the S-Class (model series W 109). The Reviva team has the classic even built as a street version. At that time, the original was even known as "6.3" Touring car racing and in the Rally Sport With. And it was also a popular tuning object because the engine was specifically designed to be “gentle” despite its high output. It was relatively easy to increase the performance. And the "red pig" was also a 300 SEL 6.3 used in touring car racing. He had one on 6,8 liter displacement drilled out V8 engine with over 400 PS on board and was the first model of the tuner AMG to come with new Cylinder heads showed a significantly more complex increase in performance compared to other vehicles. And privateers were in 1971 with three 6,8 liter touring car on road. And the silver metallic painted by Klaus Behrmann with around 360 hp and automatic transmission won eight circuit and airfield races seven pieces.

And AMG had the red racer (nickname “Rote Sau”) at the start as an accident-damaged W 109. The self-made project was created with Daimler-Benz parts in view of the engine and had a ZF five-speed transmission installed. At the 24-hour race in Spa in 1971, the red racer made it Class win and Rank two in the overall ranking. Just as a bumblebee shouldn't actually fly, this one would have large and heavy projectile actually not allowed to win. But the Red sow had made it. And Magnus Walker Aside from the Porsche brand, apparently also has a weakness for the Mercedes brand. The Porsche enthusiast and collector enjoys a “silver pig”. Referred to as "The Silver Sau" the vehicle is based on the red pig from the 24 hours of Spa-Francorchamps in 1971. The "Silver Pig" - Silver Pig from Germany is a pretty well made and looks detailed Tribute to the legend.
