560SEL
King of the Road!!
 
 
Launched in 1985, when the W126 range was given its major midlife facelift,
the 560SEL topped the range and sported most of what on the lower models
were optional extras.

Pushing close to 2 tons of car along is a 300bhp V-8,making over 330lbft of torque,
mated to the usual 4-speed self-shifter. At the time, tests revealed that this
meant 60mph in 7 seconds and a top speed of over 150mph, though when you're driving it,
what impresses at speed is the huge lunge forward when you trigger kickdown at
motorway speeds... though doing this frequently is going to cripple the already
average fuel consumption!
