The 6.3 (M100 V8): the Banker's Hot Rod

Mercedes-Benz 250S-300SEL 6.3 (W108/W109) · driving

The 300SEL 6.3 is treated as the crown jewel of the range, an M100-engined super-sedan that was the fastest four-door in the world when new and, by community lore, quicker than a period Porsche 911. Owners describe violent, effortless thrust and long-distance capability, and the car's mystique underpins the strongest values in the lineup.
