1:18 Mercedes-Benz 300 Sel 6.8 AMG – Helmut Kelleners – Sudwestpokal Hockenheim 1971

Description

About the car

This car proves that a comfortable luxury sedan can be a formidable sports car. AMG earned its credentials in this way, winning the dreaded 24 Hours of SPA in 1971 with this somewhat prickly 300 SEL. The Burgstall men didn’t do things by halves, and the original Mercedes 6.3 engine was completely revised, increasing its displacement to 6.8 litres, enough to develop no less than 428 horsepower at 0 rpm.

In terms of performance, the sports car needs 4.2 seconds to accelerate from 0 to 100 km/h. And its maximum speed is 265 km/h.
