Beschreibung
Launched at the Geneva Motor Show in 1968, the 300SEL 6. 3 was originally conceived by Mercedes-Benz engineer Erich Waxenberger two years earlier. Waxenberger’s concept was simple; take the M100 6. 3 liter V-8 engine and air-suspension from the 600 Luxury Saloon and place it in the W109 4-door sedan designed by Paul Bracq. Often considered Mercedes-Benz’s first true sports sedan, the 300SEL 6. 3 offered maximum comfort mixed with a legendary performance that challenged even the most powerful automobiles made in Detroit, Michigan at the time. The air-suspension ensured maximum driving comfort while leaving all four wheels firmly on the road while the M100 V-8 engine provided more than enough power to satisfy the most performance-minded customer. The 300SEL 6. 3, while produced in limited numbers until 1972, was capable of cruising at speeds in excess of 120 miles per hour while seating five comfortably. This capability quickly caught the attention of the German tuning firm AMG who successfully campaigned several modified 6. 3 sedans in the early 1970s. The 300SEL 6. 3 was the Mercedes-Benz sedan that recaptured the imagination of the public. Today, it still finds its way into some of the most incredible collections across the globe.
