"1961 190SL with SL600 V12 "

There’s no typo in the title, in case you’re wondering. And if looks can be deceiving, we won’t blame you if you think that this 1961 Mercedes 190SL is just a restored classic. But the truth is, it’s not. On the contrary, in fact.

This, dear folks, is the Mercedes-Bent 190SL.

The project, which was the brainchild of Hot Rods and Custom Stuff, began by taking a 1961 Mercedes 190SL and stripping it of its original parts with only the car’s body left standing. Then, Hot Rods and Custom Stuff widened and lengthened the 190SL’s body to accommodate all the new parts that were going to be put in, most notably the platform of a 2004 Mercedes SL600.

After hours and hours of labor, the finished product is what was unveiled at SEMA 2010 – a car that seamlessly blended old school looks with new school performance features, a marriage that is both awesome to look at and even better to drive.

PERFORMANCE

The builders decided that using the original car’s 1.9-liter I4 engine just wouldn’t cut it in today’s world. So to give the Mercedes-Bent 190SL a more modern engine approach, the tuners replaced the original – and obviously outdated – engine with a twin-turbo 6.0-liter V12 engine that produces 604 horsepower and 738 lb/ft of torque that is mated to a 5 speed automatic with a lock up torque converter. In addition to the overhauled powertrain, the boys at Hot Rods and Custom Stuff also added a RENNtech ECU, a carbon fiber airbox, and an upgraded intercooler

INTERIOR AND EXTERIOR

About the only thing Hot Rods and Custom Stuff saved from the original 190SL is the body. Everything else has been a combination of newer Mercedes body parts, including in the interior, which, judging from the photos of the car, shows a combination of classic parts from the 190SL and up-to-date items that were obviously taken from more recent Mercedes vehicles. One thing we took a particular liking to was HRCS’s inclusion of the custom-fabricated, ivory-colored trim surrounding the gauges. Classic touch.
