1992 Mercedes-benz 600sel- 1 Owner, Mint Condition, 75k Miles, California Car!!! on 2040-cars
Tarzana, California, United States
|
Hello everyone, up for sale is my absolutely stunning black on black 1992 Mercedes Benz 600SEL. My grandpa originally purchased the car for $140,000 from Simonson Mercedes-Benz Santa Monica in 1992 ($240,000 in today’s money) and still feels like a 6-digit car. He kept the car in his private car collection within his mansion in Beverly Hills nearly its entire life. Inside the garage was temperature and humidity controlled. He was the original owner, and gave me the car earlier this year as he is not able to drive anymore. I have hardly driven her since I took possession, she has been inside my garage most of the time, although I do take her out at least once a week for a short drive around the block. Car is an accident-free California car, absolutely zero rust anywhere on the car. This car includes every single option equipped for the 92 model year, she's fully loaded. The S-Class is Mercedes’s flagship model, and this was the first of their new model generation, the W140 (V140 for these long wheelbase models). Mercedes spent over a billion dollars on developing this car, and they had something to prove when they put this car out. It wasn’t designed to compete with BMW and Lexus, but rather with Rolls-Royce and Bentley. The V12 6.0 Liter engine was most powerful for the 92 model year, as emission restrictions that took place in 93 forced Mercedes to cut power. This version has a whopping 408 horsepower and 428 lb-ft. of torque propelling this beast from 0-60 in around 5.5 seconds. This same engine block is still used by some supercar manufacturers, such as Pagani, which has used tuned versions of the engine for its Zonda supercars. That being said, you hardly feel how fast you are going while driving this car. It provides the ultimate in comfort. The interior is simply cavernous, and provides massive comfort even with all the seats occupied. Rear passengers are in for a treat as they have power seats as well as seat warmer and coolers (which of course the front seats have as well, along with full lumbar support). This car was built during the time when Mercedes spent no expense in building their cars. Every single item on the vehicle is made by the finest materials. Even the new Mercedes of today can not compare. While most of Mercedes' cars today feel machine built and soulless, this vehicle truly feels hand built and assembled to the highest standards. The car runs absolutely flawlessly, a testament to how meticulously well kept and maintained this car has been. ALWAYS garaged, always taken in for service at least twice a year. Every problem area with this car has been looked at and taken care of. This includes the horrible eco-wiring harness that Mercedes were putting on their cars in the early 90’s. If this job isn’t done you’re looking at around a $6k job to get the entire wiring replaced. Also taken care of is the hydraulic suspension system. I just had the car serviced at Mr. MB Motors here in Tarzana, they went through the car and changed: -Oil and filter changed -Transmission fluid and filters changed -Vaccum hoses replaced Brakes and Brake Rotors Replaced This car still demands respect on the road. It is refined class, without being boisterous about it. I guarantee you won’t be disappointed when you see her. Everything is original, with the exception of the stereo system being upgraded completely (was a $3k job to get everything done properly) and Bluetooth integration has also been added for hands-free communication. Every single electronic still works on the car, which is a testament how no expense was spared on maintaining the vehicle. Registration has just been paid for until 2015, I also just got the car smogged (it of course passed easily). Take a look at the AutoCheck report to verify the car has had no accidents and the mileage is correct. Clean California title is on hand; everything is prepared for a caring new owner to take possession! Please feel free to ask me any questions about the car. I also have the car up for sale locally, so I reserve the right to cancel this auction at any time. If you would like to come see the car before the auction ends, I will gladly help set up a viewing at the best convenience for both of us. Feel free to bring your mechanic to take a look at her as well. Sorry for the low-quality pics, I will try and post better ones later on. |

Brabus to storm Geneva with 800-hp version of Mercedes SL65 AMG
Wed, 27 Feb 2013At no point during our recent drive of the 2013 Mercedes-Benz SL65 AMG did we ever think, "You know, this thing sure is slow." After all, Merc's range-topping SL comes fitted with a twin-turbocharged 6.0-liter V12 capable of sending 621 horsepower and 738 pound-feet of torque to the rear wheels. But just in case you're still all "meh" about what the SL65 throws down, Brabus will gladly come to your rescue with this, the 800 Roadster.
As its name suggests, the 800 Roadster ups the V12's power figures to 800 horsepower and - wait for it - 1,047 pound-feet of torque. Don't get too excited, though - that torque number has been electronically limited to a measly 811 lb-ft since, you know, the transmission would probably explode if you tried to put the full force through it. Nevertheless, these represent increases of 79 hp and 73 lb-ft over the standard SL65, and that means the 800 Roadster can shoot to 62 miles per hour in just 3.7 seconds - two-tenths of a second quicker than the Merc its based on. More impressively, hitting 124 mph takes just under 10 seconds, and the droptop will finally top out at an electronically limited - limited! - 217 mph. Holy smokes.
To manage all of that speed, Brabus has engineered a special carbon fiber aero kit that reduces lift, and a unique control module for the SL65's active body control suspension lowers the ride height by one full inch. The 800 Roadster rides on new 20-inch wheels, and a unique limited-slip rear differential was added, featuring a 40 percent locking rate that further enhances performance when you're attempting to control the beast at its limits. Interior upgrades include new leather and alcantara surfaces throughout the cabin, including a leather-clad trunk.
Chris Harris and David Coulthard wring out a Mercedes Fintail at the N"urburgring
Thu, 17 Oct 2013If there's one thing we've learned from the latest video from Drive, it's that the combination of Chris Harris and David Coulthard will produce some very quotable moments. Take this exchange, for example.
DC: "We are by some way the slowest."
CH: "But we're in a class of three cars, apparently."
2013 Mercedes-Benz SLS AMG GT Coupe
Thu, 31 Jan 2013
Mercedes-Benz upgraded its SLS flagship Coupe and Roadster for the 2013 model year, and the changes are marked with them new "GT" nomenclature. Both SLS models arrive with a retuned naturally aspired 6.2-liter V8 delivering 583 horsepower and 479 pound-feet of torque (the horses are up from 563, but the torque remains the same) mated to a revised seven-speed AMG Speedshift dual-clutch gearbox. Rounding out the mechanical upgrades is a redeveloped AMG two-mode adaptive suspension. Physically, the revised models are differentiated by their new "GT" badging, darkened headlight/taillight buckets, red brake calipers, unique wheel colors and high gloss finish on the front grille, exterior mirrors and hood/fender fins. Inside the cabin are new red seatbelts, Alcantara upholstery and contrasting red stitching.
As it is nearly impossible to experience the aluminum gullwing beast on public roads, Mercedes invited out to Southern California's Willow Springs to wring out the 2013 SLS GT Coupe on a racing circuit.
