Mafia-Style Inden Design Mercedes W126

S-Mafia-Class Inden Design
The best thing about cars is that we can make them to look how we want them to be. With the right paint, stunning rim and bodykit, it can bring out the best personality of a car and fits to eye of the modern day– even if the car was manufactured in the early 80s. That is what I told myself when I came across with this old-school, 1983 S-Class W126, tuned by Inden Design. It is powered by 386 hp, 6.0 liter engine with 100mm piston from 560 SE. I must say the numbers impress me, but what catches the eye most is the looks that Inden Design has given it.

The flamboyant large black grill gave it a menacing stare to whomever looking at it. With installation of the U.S. headlight, it is just superb.
