The last thing you’d expect in this life is for a luxury sedan to be converted into a race car. But it seems nowadays that the things you’d least expect to happen, well, tend to happen. So seeing this vintage Mercedes 300EL 6.3 converted to a race car should not come as a surprise to you.

Okay, being shocked to your core could be unavoidable. Let’s face it, not everyone is crazy enough to do something like this. Of course, that’s before the peeps from Bring-a-Trailer came in. Thanks to their bold desire to unleash something new, they decided to convert this luxury Mercedes 300EL 6.3 sedan into a race car.

So what can we expect from the revamped car? Well, it’s equipped with a M100 V8 engine that has the potential of reaching 300 horsepower. If that’s the case, then it’s estimated that the car could hit the 60 mph mark in just 6.5 seconds. Aside from having a powerful engine, it’s been fitted with unique racing seats covered in red upholstery and a racing steering wheel.

Although the Bring-a-Trailer had this unique ride auctioned on eBay, it apparently has been purchased based on our recent visit. Although we’re just guessing since the site is in German. At any rate, this car is too unique not to mention. So if you happen to be the new owner of this innovative ride, let us know how whether you’ve been able to outrace a Bentley.
