I was on my way home from school when I see an SLK wit two black patches on the hood. I was like "stickers". So I decided to check it out. After a fast lunch, I went to the house where it was parked. I get close and see that those black patches were actually the engine sticking out of the hood. I was like WTF? I was even more shocked when I read SLR on the engine. So I started snapping pics. When a Nissan Armada pulls up and who else but Bin Sulayem steps out of the house to get something from the Armada. Then he gets in the SLK and calls me to talk to him. At first I didnt recognise him, but he told me later on. My first reaction was to point speechless at the hood. He told me got the engine and put it in himself and changed the transmission, and it's a RWD. He said it had 615hp, and could go well over 350 km/h. He told me he had already been up to 320. He said it's a one of a kind, and that AMG are coming to Dubai just to see it.
The reason why he did such a crazy think was because all the other cars he has (Enzo, F50, F40, GT1, etc etc etc...) were undrivable in these streets cuz of all the traffic, so he settle with a SLK55 with an auto transmission, a comfy, easy ride in other words. But he wasnt happy with the power output...So hey, might as well drop an SLR engine into it...
Oh, and the sound...Mind blowing...
Crazy car...

I wonder how that messes with the weight balance of the car.

Very interesting swap indeed.

I wonder if he's worried about the air getting under that hood and just ripping the thing off of the car at speed.

That car is gorgeous. White is definitely a prime choice!



The SLR motor is pretty cool too! In fact is is absolutely absurd, but definitely badass.

SLR looks like crap compared to a Carrera GT, McLaren F1, Ferrari 575 Barchetta, etc etc.

Yes, and I'm afraid I'm not.

I'd go as far as to say I'd take a base SLK over an SLR (assuming I couldn't sell it); I don't care much for power, and I really hate the elongated nose and the rounded rear of the SLR.
