After it's racing career, one of these old AMG's went to french airplane manufacturer Dassault in order to test aviation tires. The car was quite heavy and massively powerful, so they could torture the tires to see how they cope with the forces of numerous landing procedures. Dassault used it for some years, then it disappeared. Hell of an automobile.
That was a beautiful contrast for they are both hand made engines and they are both AMG built. The 6.8 sounds like a world war 2 fighter, where as the 6.2 SLS sounds more refined. There's a lot of pressure coming out of that 6.8 exhaust. :) Fantastic, nice video.
The sound of that 300 SEL on de-acceleration... nothing beats that mechanical fuel injection sound. I had a (much smaller) W108 with the same mechanical fuel injection and it used SO MUCH GAS. OK: I know why it was so heavy on gas... I would drive on the highway and continuously stomp on the gas then let off, stomp on the gas and let off, stomp on the gas and let off. The sound was exhilarating and worth every penny in gas😂😂😂 PS: Don't grill me... I was young, stupid and excitable. PPS: If I had that car today, I'd still drive like that. 😎
Die Rote Sau!!!!!!!!!' Der Sound ist der Wahnsinn, tut mir leid da kommt der SLS nicht mit, herrliches Stück Automobilgeschichte....übrigens der SLS ist auch klasse!
I loved this, I'm my E55, the lineage of the first AMG race car beats. :-) from two M-B engineers weekend project to today's. high and hyper performance cars, AMG is a force to reckon with.
gut...äääh, das konnte mein Grossvater mit seinem W115 200 auch...haben wir nur deswegen nicht gefilmt, weil Super8-Kameras damals exorbitant teuer und Handy's noch nicht erfunden waren
Warum werden die Felgen des 6.8 mit Klebegewichten AUF der Felge verunziert,geht doch auch innen?Ansonsten-ein Traum.Gab es auch als 6.3 mit bis zu 420PS von AMG in Orginaloptik und Strassenzulassung
I am with the opinion that we are talking two generations, one where power came from working every mechanical option to make power, and the one where computers and software make the power. Me I love computers, but I dont want em in my car. I think that you have to know both of them and love them for what they stand for, because you cant compare em.
Utter nonsense. The Mercedes M-100 engine has nothing in common with a Pontiac V8. Unlike the Pontiac, it has aluminum heads and fuel injection. It was developed in house by Mercedes.
I love the old Mercedes racing cars.For drive these cars will have nerves of steel and the drive is more "pure" than now. By the way between these cars there 40 years of triumph.
@ElliottHawkins1 lol i know thats wat bugs me, my dad has a brabus w124 he got when h was working with Mercedes in Germany where he schooled, i wanted it but he still drives it as well as a toyota highlander he shares with my mom
Oh come on, floor it! Even if it's a classic, it's still a Mercedes-Benz. It can take any beating. And this car was made for racing.

Sls gt3 rated “R” , 300 sel 6.8 rated “ XXX” … badass
That 300 SEL sounds amazingggg, that 6.8L is just mmmm so good. It's a pleasure it will be in PROJECT CARS and maybe even Forza 5 hopefully.
Wow you predicted Forza 5 eight years back lol

It deserves a name 'Red Pig' , sounds amaaaazing.

That is called Mechanical Music.
Wait a min….Did the 300 SEL race back in the day with the automatic transmission????
Holy cow... DAT SOUND
can they go any slower ?
Near tears watching this. ;->
Love the Sound from the 300 SEL,

6,8 Liter V8 ist auch ne Ansage

was thinking about a cosworth with swapped brabus 3.2 6cylinder but i want it stock engine then prob add brabus or amg spec twin-turbos(bi-turbo)
What rims the 300 SEL have? AMG? which model?
Must be AMG Penta 😎
nice when im 20 im getting a 190e evo 2 with the huge fixed rear spoiler

Grandmather 300 SEL !
It does sound like a plane.LOL.
The stance on that thing is insane...
the sls is a coupe and 6.2l, the sel is a sedan and 6.8l. Different number motors, different generations, different chassis layout.
Wann lernen mal die Redaktionen wo das Gaspedal ist???
I could care less about the crappy modern thing, but that 300SEL was just SUBLIME!!!

Old and new together
Дед и правнук
That sound came straight from hell to seduce us... and seduced I am.
@randomstough yeahhh, thats right! man
300 SEL is a replica, isn´t it?
It's a real 6.3, but a replica of the original Red Pig, which was destroyed.
Daß ist Musik
yep, thats my cousin and my uncle
Nice cars. Bored video!
Honestly this is so gay, give these magnificent machines some proper exercising like they deserve!
It's a 6.3 not a 6.8
+Eugenio C it's a 6.8 v8
lol classic know-it-all
Part of the AMG mods included boring it out to 6.8L
same numbers motors, diferents generatios . .
Driving? This is more rolling around:-(
金正恩以前的賓士車
old benz forever!!
respect your elders kid
sounds like my diarrhea
Mercedes Driving... boring, I want them RACING!
That was weak
