HR Manager Martin Spicale promised financial support that made the project viable in the first place. And the "victims " (root) for the conversion was quickly found: the B 200 CDI, which was already on the training workshop delegates for learning purposes. While the students dismantled the car completely, Wurz was in search of a suitable engine and find what you were looking for. And make no mistake: The 5.5-liter V8, 285 kW (388 hp) and 530 Nm of torque developed was transplanted to the class B with a seven-speed automatic transmission and engine control unit. The latter proved to be quite a headache later, as it had to be only the signals from the rear axle reprogrammed.
Intensive reading of the spare parts catalogs, the problem of the transplantation of the second largest, that solved the axis of the rear wheel. It was found that the rear axle of an old E-Class W 210 series would be a good fit geometry. WESP plant manager gave the green light to get one, and Wurz and his colleagues developed a sub-frame may form extensive and welding can be integrated into the body of a class B to get around the new rear axle. Stylish in the sandwich floor is hidden, the joint axis of the E-Class assembled in the class B, without further modification.
