Car articles about Mercedes-Benz 500 SL 6.0 AMG by year
Hardly any other car was as polarizing in the 1990s as the Mercedes-Benz S-Class W140 series. Too big, too ostentatious, that was the criticism. This criticism has since been silenced, because a W 140 is no bigger than a current Passat. Only much more sophisticated. But how does the top saloon, the 600 SEL from back then, feel today? This driving report focuses on the twelve-cylinder version of the Mercedes-Benz W140 series and portrays it in current and historical pictures.
In 1990, Mercedes presented the 500 E saloon at the Paris Motor Show, a car developed in collaboration with Porsche with an eight-cylinder engine and luxury equipment, which was more expensive than the S-Class at the time. Nevertheless, over 10,000 customers took delivery and enjoyed the family-friendly quasi-sports car. This driving report tells the story of the exceptional 500 E / E 500 model and shows it in over 100 historical and current pictures. And the sound sample is not missing either.
When Mercedes-Benz introduced the 600 SL in 1992, a twelve-cylinder engine was the order of the day in the top class. With 395 hp and six liters of displacement, the 600 SL easily eclipsed the already very agile 500 SL, but also cost the equivalent of a simple detached house. "Luxury is what you don't necessarily need," wrote one tester at the time. This driving report describes the Mercedes-Benz 600 SL, showing it in many photos from then and now, as well as in the sales brochure. Of course, you can also listen to the sound of the engine.
