No mention of what transmission will be used. Interesting concept... rumor mill says the pricetag is ±$700k USD.

I wonder when the 7.5 first showed up, and in what model.
On this German forum i saw it mentioned in 11/2008. Für Bernard - MB-Baureihen.de Community

"Den Renntech gab es als Einzelstück auch als 7,5L mit ein klein wenig mehr Dampf"

You can see at the end of his message which cars he had in that period.
He is a former Brabus employee.

660HP and RWD. Great for burnouts I guess..

I'd argue about the reporter stating it will be a modern interior layout,

"It wouldn't make sense to stay fairly true to the original Hammer's exterior, but then slap a massive touchscreen onto the dashboard to be more like modern machines."

It'll be a clean, vintage look.

I am not too sure about the body kit, but I cant wait to see a how to article on the 126 Board
from Gerry or Roy showing how to build and fit the engine !

Supposedly a 7 speed manual and they'll build 12 cars

They're calling it a CLK GTR SledgeHammer

Interesting.... I'm gonna need a nickname for my 500E when I'm done with it

I named my CLK BS "the temu"
