Nice to see photos of the underside. Looks like good craftsmanship. However all those yellow & red poly bushings... I can hear them squeaking all the way from USA. Price seems optimistic. I'm surprised they retained the stock differential and axle shafts, I've heard those can struggle once power levels get beyond 550hp or so. Maybe it's ok with street tires (not drag radials).

 

[Eno]

Beautiful modified car and work, but I rather have an original E60 AMG in the Datacard than this car according to my personal taste.

[alabbasi]

I do like the seats and the weapons grade exhaust system. If only I was a sheikh

 

[TerryA]

The front facia says it is SG Design but IMOP looks very similar to @Draginev Design.

The only thing I don't like are the rear seats but yea, that exhaust is sexy

 

[szvook]

That exhaust might look sexy, but it has no balls, sounds quite weak.

 

[gerryvz]

The front facia says it is SG Design but IMOP looks very similar to @Draginev Design.

Is this the same as SG Motorsports?

 

[gsxr]

Stern Garage Motorsportz, not Steve Geyer Motorsports...

 

[Draginev]

Yes partially. You could compare it here. Thou we shared different purpose and functions.
However, been trying to get hold of SG but it is still pending

 

[Draginev]

However, 2,4M Euros is very pricy when a Restomods project cost between 300k-600k alone. For that you need to kill a donor car, then all the work in 12 months probably. Why 2.4M is questionable.......

 

[Markus-MD]

Yeah right .But i am not sure that you can make this car Street leagel in Europe. Major Prob the Exhaust Gas Paper and aktualy 700Ps are more as 100% more as max power from E500 326 Ps and near 90% to E60 381Ps .You must have an Paper for the Stiffnes of the Carbody etc .Not here in Germany.Little bit sad to say this sorry.But my Respekt for this lot of Work

 

[Draginev]

It is understandable but for a 2.4 M you get this rare bent bumper that will only cause aerodynamic drag from the wheel spin. For alot of people make you reconsider if it is really worth that much? I have respect for SG and for the craftmanship that has been into it and all that sweat but expectations is very important.

 

[FD.]

Why so serious, guys?

"Crazy price" grabs more attention from around the world.

With this ad, they might attract five more customers asking for the same configuration — just with the more traditional styling of the exhaust tips and the front bumper and without the mentioned 'pure zport' yellow poly elements in the suspension… and within a 1 million budget.

__
And one more thing — I honestly don’t get why they had to ruin the sleeper image of the model with a crazy “inspired by G63 / E63” front bumper.

As far as I know, even within a €10K, ok max €20k budget, a professional team — even in Germany — would be happy to create a 3D model and molds for a classic 500E-style front bumper, just scaled up by 10% and with larger, well-hidden air inlets.

 

[yao500e]

amazing car. If they land that certain 100+ millionaire or billionaire, they will buy it for over $1 million USD+

I would upgrade to 8hp 8 speed transmission though. that would be WAY BETTER. It would put this car is SUPER CAR performance category as it should be

Great work has been done to the car but the price is crazy, for this price i can buy a few 911 reimagined by Singer, those cars are reengineered with an amazing craftsmanship and don’t cost that much, this is more like a 600k car

 

[Joe500]

Imagine spending 2.4M and getting the wrong turn signal lenses. And the wrong temperature units in your gauge cluster (km/h and Fahrenheit).

It´s 2,4 M Euro, not $.

 

[Joe500]

I never said $, and that doesn't really matter anyway lol

 

[yao500e]

No offense Stern Garage, but do you think even Deca-millionaires to billionaires are this stupid to pay 2.4 mill euro for this car?
I would say tops $250k to 300k USD would get a real buyer.

At least put a McIntosh head unit radio, like i did in my w124 E500 and at least do a 8hp70 transmission!!

 

[036]

I never said $, and that doesn't really matter anyway lol

I did. Why should german car registered in Germany have us turn signals and farenheit??

PS Nobody will buy this, not in urop, not even in Dubai.

Well that's exactly what I'm saying!! This car currently has km/h AND Fahrenheit (see pic 61).

Also, it has facelift headlights and hood but pre-facelift turn signal lenses. Facelift turn signal lenses are clear.

I also just realized it has non-036 headlight wiring. On 036 cars the inside headlights can only come on if your low beams are on. On this car, it has the regular W124 wiring where the inside lights act like fog lights where you can turn them on in the marker lights position.

 

[PHK]

The Frankenstein Five-hundred!

 

[anton28]

The word on the street is that this was a marketing push to shock everyone with that $2M price point and get everyone to share and spread the news, which it did. Supposedly, the real asking price is $600k, which is still too steep for that car. $250-$300k is where it should land.

Thats not the whole truth. The first 1993 facelifts,came with orange turn signals.Eitherway its kindofa insignificant thing,,,in the grand scheme of things

 

[gsxr]

I've never heard of facelift/MOPF2 coming from the factory with orange turn signals. Is there any documentation, or "delivery" photos to prove this?

 

[gsxr]

The word on the street is that this was a marketing push to shock everyone with that $2M price point and get everyone to share and spread the news, which it did.

I kind figured it was something like that. Similar to the Bespoke 560SEC that "sold" for $560k on BaHaT (link)... another marketing stunt.

Supposedly, the real asking price is $600k, which is still too steep for that car. $250-$300k is where it should land.

Agreed. For $600k it should be closer to Singer levels of refinement / engineering / production.

 

[anton28]

Wow, I completely missed that the 560K Bespoke 560SEC sale might have been more of a “marketing stunt.” Makes sense from "creating value" for their brand but also who would pay that TOP dollar for that color spec and driveline choice.

I actually spoke with those guys a couple of years ago when I was considering having them build a car for me. Needless to say, I didn’t move forward — something just didn’t sit right during our conversations. The way they skirted around questions was a major red flag for me when dealing with a builder.

 

[duuder]

For 2M I can build/pay for 4 cars and redo my clk bs with a carbon body with extra panels just in case..
