May it be a crazy number again? Then maybe the project from the Instagram user "lwhs_w124“Just the thing. He is the proud owner of this Mercedes-Benz E200 (W124) in which almost nothing corresponds to the series. And we think we are not wrong in calling this vehicle a "rat". Even if the look is not that of the classic rusted one Rat Look Cars However, it is clearly not on Show & Shine designed. But first we come to the highlight under the bonnet! Here you have neuter installed an engine from BMW. Specifically, it is the six-cylinder M50, for example, in the E34 and later in the E36 with 2,0 or 2,5 liters (with 150 or 192 PS) did its job.

Now the engine sits in the Benz and just this fact makes the vehicle extremely extraordinary. But not only that! Optically, the Stuttgart is of course also out of the ordinary. Above all, the shrill foliation as far as we know from the team WrapJunkies was raised from Belgium. And of course the huge, individually made, clinched fender flares. They are fastened with exposed screw connections and painted glossy black as a contrast. The widened wheel arches accommodate huge 17 inch (10 x 17 & 11,5 x 17) "steel rims" which have an exorbitant drop center, especially on the rear axle.

"F***Forged" = no to forged wheels

Enough space to express your opinion about expensive forged wheels with an eye-catching "F*** Forged" sticker in white. Incidentally, the wheels are custom-made products based on a normal steel rim from the team velgen.nl are manufactured. They are covered with low-profile tires in the dimensions 225/35 R17 and 245/40 R17 from Hankook. And of course there would be the heavy lowering! An individual Airride air suspension from the house is installed Kean suspensions and this makes it possible to fit the steel rims consistently and down to the last millimeter in the wheel arch. The body also got a modified bumper with front spoiler and at the rear there was a huge frying counter.

at least the discs have remained

And a set of black taillights is now part of the new appearance of the E200 and makes the tail shine individually and particularly evil. And even from the outside you can see that even the interior is anything but standard. Except for the upper part of the dashboard everything is flown out causing weight and instead there is now a handmade metal stalls front and back including sports straps, a rustic center console and an extensive roll cage that was created in-house. Of course, the project is a completely different one, but nevertheless the principle of extreme remodeling somehow reminds us of the Mercedes 190E-EVO from Piper Motorsport. Unfortunately, we do not currently have any more details.
