The 1984 Mercedes-Benz 380 SEC is a masterpiece of design by Bruno Sacco, representing the sheer elegance of a luxury coupe with no middle pillars (hardtop). This model, specified for the Swiss market, is powered by the Bosch K-Jetronic 3.8-liter V8 injector engine, which produces 197 hp . As part of the C126 series, the 380 SEC was designed to offer a more exclusive and sporty experience than the sedan, with a shorter wheelbase and an excellent aerodynamic coefficient of 0.36 . Its refined character is complemented by the 4-speed automatic transmission, making this cup one of the most desirable tools of the time for the high status and comfort it offered.
