The 1970 Mercedes-Benz 300 SEL 6.3 remains one of the most iconic cars in automotive history, virtually creating the concept of the super-sport sedan. This vehicle is powered by the massive M100 6.3 engine, a 6332 cm3 Bosch Mechanical Injection Gasoline unit, which produces 250 hp / 247 HP / 184 kW in 4000 engine rpm and a monumental torque of 500 Nm in 2800 rpm. Equipped with 4-speed automatic transmission and pneumatic (airborne) suspension, this limousine achieves a top speed of 220 km/h and accelerates from 0-100 km/h in just 6.5 seconds . In its time, this model was one of the fastest four-door cars in the world, combining the smooth movement of a SEL series with the performance of a racing car.
