The three car-loving men took seven months to reinvent the classic 300 SLR ''Uhlenhaut Coupe'' using 10,000 pieces of scrap metal that they had painstakingly sourced.
Although their incredible hunk of junk can't be driven, it's still worth a whopping £60,000.
The German pals - Armin Ciesielski, Peter Brakel and Walter Willer – all work at Giganten aus Stahl which translates as Giants of Steel.
The original Uhlenhaut reached an unprecedented 180mph when it was tested in 1955 – and would have been the fastest car in the world if Mercedes had put it into production.
But the speedy roadster was deemed too fast at the time and only two prototypes still exist at the Mercedes museum in Germany.
Armin said: "The Uhlenhaut is a really special Mercedes and we wanted to make a replica.
"It took me and my friends seven months of hard work to perfect and we used more than 10,000 pieces of metal.
"The car was a very difficult model to make because of all the intricate details and we made the engine look identical to the original. It weighs nearly 1,000kg."
