Inden Design has decided to go "old school" by unveiling their 1983 S-Class W126, which was originally finished back in 1991.
Boasting an imposing blacked out grille, the S-class features widened front and rear fenders, tinted windows, and massive 10.5 x 18 (front) and 12.5 x 18 (rear) Inden "Champion" aluminum wheels equipped with Pirelli "P Zero" high performance tires.
Inside, the S-Class features black Nappa leather upholstery, König sport seats, gray bird's eye maple wood trim, and a set of matching black leather luggage.
Power comes from a 386 hp 6.0-liter engine, outfitted with 100mm pistons from a 560 SE, which exhales through a stainless-steel sport exhaust system with 60mm tailpipes. Other performance upgrades include a completely revised suspension with shortened dampers and progressive-rate lowering springs, and a 6-piston braking system with 352 x 32mm discs from the original 1991 C-Class DTM.

INDEN-Design - A real getaway car!
Sensational Autumn - New from INDEN Design
The first refined Mercedes finished in the history of the vehicle specialist from Haiger. No question, the S-Class from 1983 is imperative as a milestone for Mercedes-Benz, which was completely rebuilt by INDEN design in 1991. Still today the design constructed by INDEN Design excited.
The current appearance is really impressive. Even at walking pace, the car looks impressive athletic. The front greets wide and very deep. The distinctive features of the S-Class with a star on the bonnet, subtly decorated in black. This SE plays to the gallery - not harmless - but with dynamic power, like exciting sports cars do.
Even the idle-running speed sounds promising. At least 386 hp be on the qui vive. The engine is a 6 liter engine with 100mm piston from the former 560 SE series. A stainless-steel sport exhaust system from the manifold with a diameter of 60 mm and each with a tailpipe left/right shows what's in it. Even when you anneal the Benz the sound is distinctive deep.
At this vehicle a 2,500 rpm means only a slight flexing of muscles. The whole thing is supported by a short axis with a blocker and an engine-transmission with 2B-coupling.
Here's can be life: INDEN design creates with widened front fenders from the 560 SE and around 70mm wider and higher lengthen rear wheel arches a superlative wheelwork.
At the Front, the three-part INDEN Champion aluminium rims from the motor sports field measure10.5 x 18 inches and 12.5 x 18 inches at the rear. The high performance tires are sized 255/35 R18 and 315/30 R18 from Pirelli "P Zero".
This car coins the modern appearance of the streets: Long Body, colored windows, large radiator grills and dark color (Uni-Black). With graceful movements the SE changes the track.
A true getaway: The aware sports trimmed chassis is perfect for fast chases. The complete undercarriage suspension consists of specially shortened dampers and progressive-rate lowering springs with 18mm wire gauge. The necessary delay provides an AP 6-piston sports brake system with 352 x 32mm discs. This corresponds to the original DTM brake-system of the C-Class from 1991!
This model which was finished in 1991 by INDEN Design can still be proud seen today, with perfect details, such as: U.S. headlamps and taillights, rebuilding to Model 1986 (smooth planking), the interior which is completely covered in black Nappa leather with König Sport seats in the front spots, the wood elements into recoated in gray bird's eye maple and the related fully in leather luggage.
