The "King of Convertibles" Era
• Year 1993 was the inaugural year for the 12-cylinder R129. It was the first V12-powered roadster Mercedes-Benz ever built, immediately earning it the crown as the ultimate grand tourer of its generation.
• Unprecedented Price Tag: When new, this car cost around £110, 000. It was designed to pull supercar owners directly out of their Ferraris and Porsches—and it succeeded.
• The Glorious M120 V12: Under the hood sits a supremely smooth, naturally aspirated 6. 0-liter M120 V12 engine churning out 389 horsepower and 420 lb-ft of torque.
• Supercar Pedigree: Buyers will love knowing that this identical Mercedes M120 engine block was chosen by Horacio Pagani to power the mythical Pagani Zonda. It provides an effortless, whisper-quiet surge of power that modern turbocharged cars simply cannot match.
• Bruno Sacco’s Masterpiece: Mercedes’ legendary head of design, Bruno Sacco, openly considered the R129 his team's absolute best work. Its lines are clean, timeless, and perfectly proportioned.
• The $20 Million Roll Bar: The R129 features an automatically deploying roll bar. Mercedes famously spent close to $20 million developing this safety feature, which pops up instantly if the car senses an impending rollover.
