Project Awesome: Wild C63 in 190E's Clothing



The intent was to remove the body from a C63, and replace it with a 190E body. It's a deceptively simple concept, but hundreds of hours of measuring, cutting, welding, and flat-out re-engineering later, and Piper Motorsports has created the most badass 190E ever.

They should post the full build! It's a fabricator's wet dream.

SO UGLY. I really dont see the point of this build butchering a perfectly good c63. Engineering aspect is impressive though but pointless. Just my 2 cents worth...

I am just a fan of the 190e and the c63. I am not real big on the evoII body kit but it is necessary on this set up so I can live with it. I'm sure if this was finished on the outside you might like it a bit more. Then there is the of a c63 that probably weighs 3k lbs.

I like it, I like both cars. But I don't get why they would cut up two perfectly good cars. Why not just shoehorn a v8 into the 190?

then you would not get any of the suspension upgrades. also the C63 has a wider track. Then you have the weight savings over a c63 with the 190 on top.

mainly BECAUSE RACE CAR.

Definitely good points. I always liked the 190 body style!

Now lets see this thing take some corners!
