1989 Mercedes-Benz 560 SEC 6.0 AMG Widebody c126

Collector's item this original 560 SEC widebody with the 6.0 DOHC AMG engine with demonstrably only 34,637 km original. Performed in the correct color scheme 199 Blue-black metallic with a 261 black leather interior. Full AMG package, so also with the fully electrically adjustable Recaro sports seats, extra wooden moldings, AMG steering wheel (original AMG steering wheel is included), chrome door sills and more. Original and unrestored copy.

The stock 5.6-liter V8 engine was bored out to 6.0 liters by the wizards from Affalterbach. AMG’s talented mechanics also equipped the naturally aspirated V8 with bespoke four-valve, dual-overhead-camshaft, three-piece, sand-cast cylinder heads. This unleashed 385 PS (380 HP) at 5,500 rpm and 410 lb-ft (555 Nm) of torque at 4,000 rpm, sent to the rear wheels via a four-speed automatic transmission. With 80 additional horsepower and twice as much torque at half the engine speed of the original engine, the 560 SEC AMG 6.0 Widebody was a beast capable of devouring the Autobahn with its top speed of more than 285 km/h (177 mph) and claimed 0-100 km/h (0-60 mph) sprint of under 6 seconds.
