muhammed bin sulayem talks a little bit about his cars throughout the video,

at 32:45 he talks about how he got the slk 55, but it was just too slow, so he put the "big 600 hp SLR engine" into the "small SLK" 55.

Pretty cool video, as 3 different sheiks talk about their car collections.

Crazy, he got bored with with the slk and actually put the slr motor into it. I guess it validates the other video of the slr powered slk racing the enzo, considering he has both!

I'm watching it right now, looks like they sure know how to have fun.

Lets see, this guy is a retired race car driver. He has a couple Ferrari's, Porsche, and a DTM and then he buys a 55 for speed

I think he bought the SLR engine and SLK to make a very high speed toy. I wonder what his engineer did to the suspension.

anyone realize that they had to get a new tranny too? (pretty sure). Isnt it longer then the slk tranny, would it fit? wonder how they did that too.

I'm not sure if he did but from what I've read the 7G is caple of 700hp/700lb tq and since the SLR engine is around 600hp, stock should work.

With his resources, there's NO obstacle he couldn't overcome.
