Car collectors are going to be delighted to find out that a particularly rare Mercedes-Benz 560 SEC AMG 6.0 ‘Wide Body’ is now being offered up for auction over at Bonhams.

As one of only a believed 26 units ever produced, this Wide Body was originally inbuilt 1989. supported the quality 560 SEC, the AMG variant originally carried an equivalent 300-horsepower 5.6-liter V8 engine, but pushed up to a strong 6.0-liters to extend its horsepower to 385bhp. the additional power allowed the car to form 0-60mph in under six seconds, a powerful feat during its era for a model of this make.

Of course, apart from an engine upgrade, the car also received a good body aerodynamics kit — giving it its name — along side other enhancements, including larger disc brakes and stiffened suspension. the inside also received an equivalent premium treatment, holding electronically adjustable Recaro seats, a walnut wood trim, a special AMG wheel , and chrome door sills.

Expected to finish up to £180,000 GBP (approx. $250,000 USD), those interested can learn more about this 1989 Mercedes-Benz 560 SEC AMG 6.0 over at Bonhams.
