Mercedes Experimental C111 Ciento
Texas-based tuner, owned by designer Arturo Alonso, decided to revive the 1970 C111 to create another gullwing Mercedes. The Mercedes-Benz C111 was an experimental vehicle by Mercedes-Benz that featured a four-rotor Wankel engine. It never made it to production although Mercedes did follow with successor concepts.
The Ciento Once proposal includes a tubular space frame chassis with a Mercedes M120 V12 engine producing 408 hp and is coupled to a 6-speed Cima H type trans-axle.
Wheelbase is slightly shorter than the original at 103 inches (2616 mm) and weight is similar at 1,400kg. Brakes are the same as on the Mercedes-Benz S55 AMG.
Ride comfort comes care of an adjustable coil-over suspension and GWA Type A wheels, 9 x 19 rims in 265/35/19 tires at the front and 11 x 20s with 295/30/20 tires at the back.
The aluminum body was handmade and include an electronically adjustable rear wing as well as a rear diffuser and front spoiler with a large air intake. The interior will also come with a retro look, with the instrument panel similar to the R129 SL, but feature modern features such as carbon-fiber seats, brushed aluminum pedals and illuminated door sills.
