Mercedes-Benz Ponton Restomod Hides C63 AMG Secret Under the Skin
Strikingly transformed 1961 Mercedes Ponton by Xtreem Motors, is a restomod that melds the classic W121 body with the vigor of a W204 C63 AMG chassis.
The Mysterious Rebirth
Xtreem Motors from South London has redefined automotive innovation with a remarkable reengineering of the 1961 Mercedes-Benz Ponton. This ghostly incarnation conceals a potent heart, grafting the classic structure onto a formidable W204 C63 AMG chassis. The bespoke amalgamation echoes spine-chilling, hair-raising echoes of the past.
The Powerful Fusion
Beneath its elongated hood roars the naturally aspirated M156 6.2-liter AMG V8 engine, producing a commanding 450 horsepower. The resonating soundtrack from its quad-pipe exhaust system reverberates through the streets, ensuring that this reincarnated beast captures attention with every twist of the wheel.
Aesthetics Redefined
Every panel of the vintage Benz has been meticulously replaced and coated in Raptor Paint, akin to the dark allure of Vantablack. The AMG-powered Ponton glides on gloss-black 21-inch multi-spoke wheels, accompanied by red brake calipers that harmonize with the menacing aura exuded by the AMG lettering and grille.
A Contrasting Narrative
While retaining the classic Ponton's round headlights, the vehicle introduces modernistic technology, transitioning from matte black when dormant to illuminating brilliance when activated. However, the interior, unlike the exterior, surprises with a contemporary AMG ambiance, featuring red leather seats, contrasting harnesses, and a futuristic AMG steering wheel set against exposed metal door cards.
The Price of Sinister Innovation
Details on the pricing for this menacing creation remain shrouded in mystery, with the Xtreem Motors team simply hinting, "A lot!" Nevertheless, this sinister marvel is yet to undergo final tweaks for road-legal status, standing presently as one of the most audacious restomods globally.
The Legacy of Transformation
The original Mercedes Ponton (W121) symbolized an era of automotive evolution, yet this unconventional remodel, blending classic charm with contemporary power, redefines its narrative. Emerging as a showcase of innovation, this revamped Ponton beckons admirers, promising an appearance that might grace the 2023 SEMA Auto Show.
