2012 SEMA SHOW: An Vintage Mercedes-Benz Shows Up To Show The New Kids Some Tricks

Now here's something to talk about fresh from the 2012 SEMA Show. If there's one thing this show is amazing at showing off, it's restomods.

A Mercedes-Benz specialist, Mechatronik, pulled together a very special project with its 1971 280 SE Coupe that features some modern bits. And when I say bits, I mean MUCH more than that.

It features a modern day 5.4-liter V8, which produces over 350 horsepower and has a modified suspension.

See it in action in the video below...
