1986 Mercedes-Benz 560 SEC

Description

The 560 SEC represented the finest personal luxury car offered by Mercedes-Benz from 1986 until 1991, continuing a long history of crafting some of the finest coupes in the world. An evolution of the 500 SEC, the 560 came equipped with a 5.5-liter V8 featuring refined electro-mechanical fuel injection, electronic ignition, and an easier-breathing engine increasing the horsepower to 238 when new. Designed for high-speed touring use, the car featured a capacious trunk and a self-leveling hydraulic rear suspension, ensuring optimal suspension performance when fully loaded. The 560 SEC also incorporated weight-saving aluminum used for the hood and trunk lid. A truly world-class car, the elegant pillarless styling and wonderful useability have continued to capture the attention of enthusiasts to this day, especially when they are finished in a timeless color combination such as this Black over Gray example..
