In Japan, an incredible hearse in a traditional Buddhist style is up for sale. A thoroughly modified Mercedes-Benz S-Class W126 is priced at 30 thousand dollars.
In Japan, even hearses look quite eccentric. The Mercedes 560 SEL has been transformed into a real temple on wheels. Part of the sedan’s roof has been cut off, making way for a wooden superstructure inlaid with real gold.
Inside, the Mercedes hearse is painted, with wood trim maintained in the spirit of traditional Japanese architecture. The driver’s cabin is finished in burgundy leather.
Of course, such tuning of the Mercedes S-Class has significantly increased its weight, but the 5.6-liter 300-horsepower V8 handles the load. By the way, the car has only 50 thousand km on the clock.
