Mercedes E55 with SLR McLaren Engine . . .
If you’re a Mercedes fan, you’re probably familiar with the SLK-SLR engine swap commissioned by Dubai car collector Mohammed Ben Sulayem. He famously put an SLR engine into his white SLK55, turning it into an Enzo-killing rocket. Ben Sulayem is now working on a new project: putting an SLR engine into and E55!
See a video of his SLK racing a Ferrari Enzo, and winning HERE

P.S. - Look up Dubai on Emporis.com and check out all the skyscrapers they're putting up.

DAMN!!!! With every upshift in the Enzo the SLK-SLR gains an entire car length on him. LOL...I thought Enzo shifts lightening quick. What an awsome conversion!!
So how did he get the donor engines?? I highly doubt he bought two SLR's and just did regular body swaps. IF he did I wouldnt mind taking the skeleton.

That car is as crazy fast as the idea for the swap is crazy!!!
When your money oozes from the ground, you can afford to do things like that.

i know for cars like the m3, m5, you can't get the engine like that. it has to be from that car and unless the engine is gone, you can't replace it. pleaes correct me though
that's why it's so hard to see m3 and m5 engine in other cars. i remember reading about one guy who has a 5 wagon with m5 powertrain. he's a bmw mechanic and he had to get the m5 engine from the junk yard or something
