Mercedes w116 [ Ссылка ]
Mercedes' first-generation S-Class, the W116 model, somehow can't breakthrough into the category of collector-desirable classics. There is only one exception, the Mercedes 450 SEL 6.9, created only in a quantity of 7380 hot rods for gentlemen. The starting point for its unit was the 6.3 V8 from its predecessor, the 300 SEL 6.3 generation W109. Obtaining a reamed capacity of 6.9 liters resulted in the largest engine capacity of any passenger car produced outside the USA at the time. Presented in an understated silver over the black color combination, this example falls right in the middle of 450 SEL 6.9 production.
