This coffee table was constructed using a Mercedes-Benz M113 V8 engine block from an E55 AMG. The block is painted silver, and a glass tabletop supported by four pistons is included. This coffee table is now offered by a BaT Local Partner at no reserve in Santa Rosa, California.
Mercedes-Benz introduced the M113 V8 in 1997, and assembly of the AMG powerplants was completed at the Affalterbach facility. Supercharged M113K variants were introduced for the 2003 model year, and iterations were used in various Mercedes-Benz models through 2011. The engine block displays part number R1130104605.
The 1/2″-thick glass top measures 26″ wide by 36″ long and rises 18″ above the ground. It is supported by four pistons and AMG connecting rods secured to the block, which is mounted on casters.
