Like its main competitor in the form of the VW Bulli, the Mercedes V-Class is also often refined and individualized by its owners. This thesis is underlined by the V 300 d presented here, an exemplar of the current 447 series in the pre-facelift version. It was equipped with on a set of high-quality Barracuda Racing Wheels and also received a few other upgrades.
The choice for the matt black large-capacity vehicle fell on the Project 3.0 wheels from Barracuda's Ultralight Series. The weight-reduced flow forming rims are installed all around in 8.5x20 inch wit an offset of 43. The associated tires measure 255/40ZR20. Thanks to their spoke contours refined using a patented milling process, the wheels with Black Milled finish already have a two-tone look as standard. In this case, however, the vehicle owner even went one better: to match the various accents on the body, he added a red accent line on the wheel flange. The Barracuda Racing Bolts used for fastening are also made in the same color.
In addition to the visual ones, a whole range of technical adjustments were also realised.
The two-liter twin-turbo inline four-cylinder diesel engine received a sound module and a performance upgrade from Väth. Thanks to the latter, the motor increased its power by 40 to 274 hp. Also new is an H&R stabilizer kit that supports more dynamic driving behavior. A retrofitted AMG brake system ensures convincing deceleration.
Last but not least, there is also an absolute highlight in the interior: the steering wheel is custom-made in AMG style and therefore truly unique with various carbon components and a red 12 o'clock marking. Thanks for taking and providing the pictures go to the vehicle owner Peter K.
Breathtaking videos from Barracuda are available on the YouTube channel “Barracuda Racing Wheels” or interactively on the Instagram profile “barracuda.wheels” or the Facebook page “Barracuda Europe Racing Wheels”.
