Mercedes-Benz 300 SEL 6.8 AMG specs

I had the regular 6.3 and did 0-100 km/h in 7 sec provided a dry grippy road. Originally, I wore 195 shoes. Later those were no longer available and I got 205s - the height was also slightly off. However, wheelspin was reduced - but not gone. I have faster cars these days, none that felt as powerful, because you had to man handle it and pay attention all the time! Today you floor a car and all the electronics keep you on the road - the 6.3 not so much:)

@fastestlaps please delete the performance data from Super8

AMS 01/1972
0-100km/h - 6.1s
0-160km/h - 12.8s
0-200km/h- 19.8s
Top speed - 265km/h

That is a sleeper! It looks slow, but 414 horsepower, that is the most powerful European I've ever heard of from the 60s and 70s, in fact, it's the most powerful non-American car I've ever heard of from that time.

@Z
In Europe? More likely - yes.

But if you remember mad power-glutton Americans... I doubt this AMG would be a leader.

Anyway, I love these old AMG sleepers.. so classy... Even though AMG was a tuning company back then, but that does not matter. ;)

Is 68 AMG the fastest sedan from 70's? It is very fast.

6.8 litre version. Only 5 that ever produce. 3 of them is race car.
