1969 Ford Mustang with Mercedes AMG powertrain

Have you ever wondered, what would look like an American car with a Mercedes AMG engine? Check out the 1969 Ford Mustang, which has been brought back to life.

Anarchy Garage, a UK-based company, found a 1969 Mustang in very poor condition. The project cost £ 24,000 ($ 33,000), which includes the purchase of cars and AMG parts.

The classic exterior look has been retained, while the drivetrain and interior have undergone changes. A Mercedes dashboard, center console, steering wheel, transmission, as well as seats are installed.

Under the hood is a 5.5-liter twin-turbo V8 engine with 721 hp and 885 lb-ft (1,200 Nm) of torque. It is the same engine used by the 2021 Mercedes E63 AMG. The car is equipped with a seven-speed automatic transmission and rear-wheel drive, and a limited slip differential.

The revived Mustang uses a set of 19-inch tires, and for a safe stop there are six-piston front brakes and four-piston rear brakes.

Upgraded Mercedes-AMG GLS 63

Brabus, specializing in Mercedes cars, has decided to upgrade the largest Mercedes SUV. It is a Mercedes-AMG GLS 63 model that was presented for 2021.

Unique in style and great spaciousness, thanks to the Brabus, the new sports SUV brings a whole new experience.

The car is equipped with a new adaptive air suspension, a new exhaust system with four stainless steel pipes, a front spoiler and rear diffuser for better control, larger air intakes on the front bumper, a front grille with the Brabus emblem.

Inside, there are 7 seats upholstered in black leather, aluminum pedals and carbon accessories on the dashboard and door panels.

Its 603 hp at 6500 rpm and 627 lb-ft of torque were clearly not enough for Brabus. Therefore, they decided that this SUV should make a step forward by improving its performance. Now the 4.0-liter twin-turbocharged V8 engine, thanks to special turbochargers, produces 800 hp and 737 lb-ft of torque. The engine is paired with a nine-speed automatic transmission.

The car is mounted on forged 24-inch wheels, which allow it to reach 62 mph in 3.8 seconds with an electronically limited top speed of 174 mph (280 km / h).
