When it comes to customizing cars, the Mercedes V-Class is right up there, alongside the VW Bulli, offering plenty of room for personal touches. And one standout example of this is the V 300 d, a model from the current 447 series before its facelift, now decked out with top-notch upgrades and sleek Barracuda Racing Wheels.
Mercedes-Benz V 300 d with Barracuda Project 3.0 Wheels
For this sleek matte black ride, the owner chose Barracuda Project 3.0 wheels from the Ultralight Series. These wheels are not just about looks – they’re crafted for performance too. Sized at 8.5x20 inches with an offset of 43 and wrapped in 255/40ZR20 tires, they bring a unique two-tone vibe with their Black Milled finish and patented milling process. And to add a personal touch, a bold red accent line was added to match the car’s other stylish details. Even the Barracuda Racing Bolts used to fasten them are colour-matched, showing off an eye for detail.
But it’s not just about appearances – there’s plenty of substance too. Under the hood, the two-litre twin-turbo inline four-cylinder diesel engine got a power boost from Väth, adding an extra 40 horsepower for a total of 274. To handle that extra oomph, an H&R stabilizer kit was installed, making for more dynamic drives. And for stopping power, an AMG brake system was fitted, ensuring confident braking.
Inside, the spotlight falls on a custom-made steering wheel, styled after AMG designs. With carbon components and a bold red marking at 12 o'clock, it’s a unique touch that adds a special feel to every drive.
Special thanks go to Peter K. for sharing some stunning pictures, showcasing the perfect blend of style and performance.
