If The Devil Drove Mercedes, This Evil Chevy V8-Powered Dragster Would Be It
Drag-racer engine in a Sixties' saloon makes for one mighty Merc
A 1969 Mercedes 280S that runs eight-second quarter miles? Meet DEBENZ: an Aussie-converted German mafia saloon running a supercharged American engine. Look what happens when these great nations learn to get along and play nicely.
The mad Merc runs a supercharged small-block 7.0-litre Chevrolet V8 driving the rear wheels (duh) through a drag racing transmission. Yet with no mad aero, no blocked-out windows and even working lights, DEBENZ is still a road-legal ride. It just happens to be able to pop wheelies for fun away from the lights.
DEBENZ might be the ultimate bad-ass retro Merc for straight lines, but if you want to point one round some turns you'll be needing this 700bhp, super-turbo-charged Mercedes diesel wagon...
