For fans of “things used to be better and the grass was greener,” a great car is on sale right now at Cars&Bids – a Mercedes 500SEC AMG 6.0 coupe!

By the way, this is a car from the era when the Mercedes model designation corresponded to the actual engine displacement. And this double designation of Mercedes 500SEC AMG 6.0 is quite real. After all, the car was born as a Mercedes 500SEC with an atmospheric 5-liter V8 and then underwent AMG tuning with a corresponding increase in engine displacement.

Thanks to the increase in displacement per liter and other modifications, such as a sports exhaust system, the engine power was increased by 100 hp – that is, at the time of the tuning, this Mercedes 500SEC AMG 6.0 had 331 hp and 525 Nm of torque, which is confirmed by the miraculously preserved documents. However, the tuning was not limited to the increase in power: this Mercedes 500SEC AMG 6.0 coupe also features a sports suspension, more powerful brakes, and black 17-inch wheels.

The interior features an AMG steering wheel and a speedometer marked up to 300 km/h. However, what attracts the most attention inside the Mercedes 500SEC AMG 6.0 is something else entirely – massive amounts of leather and wood (even on the doors and around the 4-speed automatic lever), which today would be enough to decorate two or three car interiors.

Do you want to buy a Mercedes 500SEC AMG 6.0 and plunge into the past? Then you will pay at least $57 thousand – this is the current rate, but it may increase.
