线程： 梅赛德斯-奔驰 V 8 供电 B 类建造由学员

你们那些不沉浸在昨天新闻关于氢燃料梅赛德斯-奔驰 B 级燃料电池轿车出发环球旅行了三名真正想要做今天从德国的新闻。

施塔特的梅赛德斯-奔驰厂的厂经理彼得黄蜂凡提出申请 B 类，想出了一个整齐的项目技术职业培训处。学员可以适合 V 8 引擎驱动后轮，在 B 级车中，通常有 1。5 或 2。0 升 4 缸发动机前轮驱动而不从根本上改变车的外观吗？

一个卷尺证实有房间。B 200 CDI 被发现一个捐助者，为 388 马力 5。5 升 V [颜色 = 黑] [颜色 = 黑]-8 耦合到七速自动变速器选择中。后轴来自旧 210 系列 E 级。显然转型的最困难部分被修改，指导。

一次性的汽车也被称为 B55。修改 B 级车的梅赛德斯-奔驰学员组估计它将从 0 加速到 60 英里每小时在六秒内，这辆车是比股票的 B 级车重只有 400 磅。其令人怀疑如果这辆车会不会成为一个生产汽车，但它是肯定很高兴见到学员能够体会到一些东西相反的燃料电池 B 级燃料电池电动汽车。

Those of you who were not enamored by yesterdays news about the trio of hydrogen-fueled Mercedes-Benz B-Class F-CELL cars setting off on a World Tour should really like todays news from Germany.

Peter Wasp, the plant manager at the Mercedes-Benz factory in Rastatt, where the B-Class is made, came up with a neat project for the technical vocational training department. Could the trainees fit a V-8 engine, driving the rear wheels, in a B-Class car that normally has a 1. 5 or 2. 0-liter 4-cylinder engine driving the front wheels without radically altering the look of the car?

A tape measure confirmed there was room. A donor B 200 CDI was found and a 388 horsepower 5. 5-liter V[COLOR=black][COLOR=black]-8 coupled to a seven-speed automatic transmission was shoehorned in. The rear axle came from an older 210-series E-Class. Apparently the most difficult part of the transformation was modifying the steering.

The one-off car has been dubbed a B55. The group of Mercedes-Benz trainees that modified the B-Class car reckon it will accelerate from 0 to 60 mph in under six seconds as the car is only 400 lbs heavier than a stock B-Class car. Its doubtful if the car will ever become a production vehicle but it is surely nice to see the trainees to experience something the exact opposite of the fuel cell B-Class F-CELL electric cars.
