.MercedesBenz V-class van is a 900-hp V-8–powered AMG GT R underneath:
YouTube channel caught GAD Motors testing its AMG-ified van on the Nürburgring, giving us our best look yet at just how capable this V-class can be. It sounds wonderful and, despite the gigantic body and presumably heavy curb weight, actually looks quick.
In addition to the upgraded 900-hp twin-turbo V-8 engine and seven-speed dual-clutch transmission, GAD also installed all of the associated electronics and a new exhaust system complete with catalytic converters and a gas particulate filter so the car could be driven on the road. To slow down the massive people carrier, there are carbon-ceramic brakes from the GT R as well. As with any build this complex, GAD had to fabricate a bunch of custom parts to make everything work together.
