I’ve been wanting to build a naturally aspirated 4matic version of this for a while now. Looks to be very well done. I would've transferred over the nicer AMG interior too, but to each their own.

That is the most amazing thing I’ve seen this week!
Are there any manual transmissions that can be easily swapped int o it? I know its quite difficult to manual swap a S600 W140...

I’m sure it could be done with enough time and money. Best guess at easiest swap would be a manual from a V6 crossfire. Should be the same bellhousing bolt pattern. But it would still be a ton of work and probably not hold up to the power.

Its not after your heart, it's coming for your soul and your wallet

Did not know that the crossfire had the same bellhousing pattern. TIL.
No manuals on higher trims in the only reason why I hate Mercs and love BMWs

No I'll just build my own it'll be way cheaper.

It should. I’m fairly certain. Because it uses the M112 engine, which is the V6 version of what’s in this wagon.
To each their own. I don’t get the need for a manual, especially is a muscle cruiser like this. Or most things with 500hp+. Smaller, lighter, cars with half the power, sure, absolutely . But to a driver of average skill, I’d rather just mash the go pedal and giggle like a little girl.

I've always felt the same, big power means automatic for me. Especially when it comes to higher gear count automatics.

My friend has a 600whp S550 Mustang with a stick, I cant imagine it with an auto box...

Honestly that sounds like a murder machine.

Its actually a good handling car, the guy autocrosses it and is quite good with it. I have driven it decently hard as well, if you dont do completely stupid shit, its fairly easy to drive.
