I'd much rather shoehorn the current SLR's engine into the original 300SL.

Try to bridge two different worlds (or in this case, design styles) and, more often than not, you'll have something on your hands that does a disservice to both.

In that case, this might be more up your alley, sans the camo paintjob; the founder of Bathing Ape, Nigo, had AMG drop a 6.0 V8 into an original 300 SL.

Under the skin it's a techno marvel.

The wrapper is ghastly, just like the McLaren MB, only different ghastly.
They just can't seem to get the exterior design right.
