This R129 SL began life as an elegantly understated 1998 SL 600 that was breathed upon by AMG Japan to become a supercar-rivaling brute that is offered for sale today. Under the bonnet, the wonderful M120 V-12 engine was tuned and enlarged to 7.0 liters to produce a staggering 500 bhp, whilst the cabin was festooned with bespoke AMG carbon-fiber trim, an AMG instrument binnacle, and steering wheel. The exhaust system was also upgraded, whilst the hydraulic suspension was fettled to cope with the extra power.
