Spotted on YouTube, this is what I would imagine the Mercedes-Benz 500E W124 would be like as a tank. This YouTube short video shows a heavily modded Tiger I tank with a lot of street cred.....The song used is also so apt.
The description by the creator of the FICTIONAL tank - Bosnian Ape Society
the Tiger I Ausf. D "Drippenwagen" was a prototype variant of the Tiger I heavy tank. Development was started in 1938 by Henschel & Sohn following orders from the Führer for a "riced out tiger" that would "take the allies to gapplebees". The Drippenwagen featured a lowered suspension, widened "Überostostostketten" tracks, improved aerodynamics, the silhouette of a large brick, and a new twin-turbo flat-twelve powerplant from Porsche. "Secret documents" claim the engine produced 9000 horsepower and could bring the Drippenwagen from a standstill to 100 km/h in 1.1 seconds. Only one example of the design was built in 1942. Unconfirmed reports say the Drippenwagen "blew up 1000000 allied tanks" and "single-handedly took the Western Front in 2 days" before the driver of the tank stepped on the gas pedal too hard and flew the Drippenwagen to the moon.
Who cares...this looks so darn cool. If I had a tank, it would be the drippenwagen Tiger. Totally drippin'.
