執行緒： 梅賽德斯-賓士 V 8 供電 B 類建造由學員

你們那些不沉浸在昨天新聞關於氫燃料梅賽德斯-賓士 B 級燃料電池轎車出發環球旅行了三名真正想要做今天從德國的新聞。

施塔特的梅賽德斯-賓士廠的廠經理彼得黃蜂凡提出申請 B 類，想出了一個整齊的專案技術職業培訓處。學員可以適合 V 8 引擎驅動後輪，在 B 級車中，通常有 1。5 或 2。0 升 4 缸發動機前輪驅動而不從根本上改變車的外觀嗎？

一個卷尺證實有房間。B 200 CDI 被發現一個捐助者，為 388 馬力 5。5 升 V [顏色 = 黑] [顏色 = 黑]-8 耦合到七速自動變速器選擇中。後軸來自舊 210 系列 E 級。顯然轉型的最困難部分被修改，指導。

一次性的汽車也被稱為 B55。修改 B 級車的梅賽德斯-賓士學員組估計它將從 0 加速到 60 英里每小時在六秒內，這輛車是比股票的 B 級車重只有 400 磅。其令人懷疑如果這輛車會不會成為一個生產汽車，但它是肯定很高興見到學員能夠體會到一些東西相反的燃料電池 B 級燃料電池電動汽車。

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.
