Arabian Update: Mercedes W140 S-Class gets W221 transplant
Filed under: Tuners, Sedans/Saloons, Etc., Mercedes-Benz
 Say you have a Mercedes-Benz W140 S-Class from two generations ago, but you really want is a Mercedes W221, the current generation car. Well, what else is an individualistic UAE plutocrat to do other than give a willing tuner an unknown (and seemingly substantial) quantity of cash to make a few changes? We can only guess at what amount of time and money was needed to fabricate and swap this new front and rear (which we'd like to think cost a lot less than a used W221 in decent shape), and we can't say we're not startled by the result. But our opinion matters not: the car lives, it's here to stay, and the owner must be happy... and maybe a little odd. Check out pics of the FrankenMerc in the gallery below. Hat tip to reader AMG!

Shoot, it's not even gold-plated or diamond-encrusted. Obviously, this guy is not a show off like some of his countrymen . . .
