AMG cars are very popular today, and it all started in 1967 when AMG was founded. Many cars have passed through the tuner’s workshop so far. Now the tuner as part of Mercedes-Benz, since 2005, primarily deals with their cars, and one of them will soon be auctioned. It is a 1989 Mercedes-Benz 560 SEL AMG 6.0 as part of The Youngtimer Collection.

AMG did what it does best, boosted the engine by increasing the volume from 5.5 liters to 6.0 liters. After that, the engine was equipped with a set of proprietary, four-valve, dual-overhead-camshaft, three-piece, sand-cast cylinder heads. Thus, the power from the base engine’s 275 hp (202 kW) and 335 lb-ft (455 Nm) of torque has been increased to 380 hp (279 kW) and 590 lb-ft (800 Nm) of torque. Also, the top speed was increased from 155 mph (250 km/h) to 180 mph (290 km/h).

The car is intended for the Japanese market, and is finished in Anthracite Gray Metallic. It is one of the most luxurious and extravagant AMG super-limousines. It is equipped with aerodynamic components, improved brakes, improved suspension. Inside, the seats are upholstered in black leather, which also covers the four-spoke AMG steering wheel. There is also a Sony stereo system as well as white-faced AMG gauges.

The auction will take place on December 10, and the estimated value of the car is $90,000 – $120,000 USD.
