Your name is Mercedes-esque but my M5 has the same type of heat shielding... I’m only able to place these parts as coming from Deutschland.

I’m not sure, but does that muffler also serve as a bumper? A mum pler? A buffler? A muffalump?

So if I’m looking at this right ... it’s an NA V8 Mercedes with a transaxle ... and it’s not an AMG GT.

Unless it’s an SLS AMG, I’m out of ideas.

edit: okay maybe there’s a turbo under that heat shield, the only MB engines I’ve actually looked at closely are the M104 and the M297 ...

Maybe you're thinking the horizontal part of it. Which is buried in the pile here. The vertical part is main one that's easy to see in the photos. But in the car the vertical part is very difficult to see.

Rear mounted transaxle gave it away. How many MBs have that feature? Less than 3, I’m sure.

2. SLS and GT. There are enough differences here that a careful eye could figure it out just from photos.
