Nice Jody! you've got some good secrets left hehe...
Been quiet for some time....I am sure many of you know I sold the Black Bison a while back because I needed more space and was expanding the family. I had an 04 E55 a while back in silver and loved the platform. I loved it so much that after I sold my CL65 I went ahead and obtained a white E55 with pano and all options. When I obtained the E55 it was with a purpose to make it the fastest E55 in the world. That dream will become a reality pretty soon.... Below are some pictures of my project at this point I cant disclose the shop and person who is doing it as they dont want too many interruptions in the process but all I could say is they are top notch and have dealt with him since day 1 since I had my Black Bison. Cant disclose specs of what's being done until its finished. Thx
I call this one "The White Bison"
Care to take a guess of what this is?

It'll be interesting, as it wont share your same lighter E55k curb weight, the V12tt weighs a bit more vs V8 komp prolly gonna weigh as much as us SL600's IE 4300, but the E55 has better ero... I predict scarry fast

Your worst nightmare...
The White Bison
Thanks Guys for all the support!!
Well this one is a V12TT!! As many said it was about time we had this done, it's always been a dream to have this done for me, and I couldn't afford the Brabus pricetag so I decided to make my own EV12
The V12 platform is an amazing platform. We are upgrading turbos, intakes and IC's along with Custom Exhaust. We are shooting for some high HP, don't know yet. Definitely has to best the Previous VRP825 Kit. In terms of weight savings I have a few tricks up my sleeves that will shave some good weight and bring the curb weight to E55 standards. We have some BBS LM's, and Evosport rotors to help as well.
Of course our goal is to brush at least high 9's in the quarter but that's a myth...for now.
We had to make custom Motor mounts and a variety of customization to make everything fit snuggy.
In order to have the car run properly and play nice Jim, we bought an entire car and are transfering over all electronics needed along with Engine, tranny, ECU, TCU and harnesses. They will get along don't worry.
More pictures and Updates soon to follow.
