This Mercedes V-Class van is a 585-hp V-8-powered AMG GT R underneath.
YouTube channel caught GAD Motors testing its AMG-ified van on the Nürburgring over the weekend, 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 585-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.
