    WTF... a Jalopnik post about the M100 engine without shining some light on the important aspect of Caminoization?



    Behold the 600 based Benzomino.


    and it's sister car... El Benzo.





    ..and it was styled by the guy who did the original 600 (and some of the nicest BMWs), Paul Bracq!

    This is the charm about the cars of old. They had cool, exposed engines that showed off all its mechanical brilliance. Contrast with Lexus RS450h below, which is as boring as Bloodcopy without Supreme Administrator .357:

    If said drag racers have houses with garages and barns and such instead, well, no. Not quite that huge.

    I can't not love the 6.3, though. It powered the 600 "Grosser" (trans.: "Big"), which looks unmistakably like an Old Car but has air suspensions and hydraulic power everything. And what a horn!
