SLR engine in SLK55
Mid-Eastern rally driver drops SLR engine into SLK55 
Stare as long as you like, it’s not a Photoshop job. That is the 617-hp McLaren SLR motor shoehorned into the bay and sticking through the hood of a Mercedes SLK. The owner appears to be a Mid-Eastern rally champion named Mohamed Bin Sulayem. The story goes that Sulayem performed this transplant because his other supercars weren’t suitable in the traffic-clogged streets of Dubai. He liked the comfort and ride of the SLK, but felt it was a little weak on power. Needless to say, he’s alleviated the SLK’s shortcomings and then some.
