    1989 Mercedes 560 SEC AMG 6.0 Widebody is more expensive than a brand new 2020 AMG GT R...

    It was one of the most iconic creations of the Eighties - and you can buy this rare car

    One of the most iconic cars of the Eighties by AMG was the Mercedes-Benz 560 SEC Widebody... Image Credit: Auto Leitner

    It not only looked the part of a high-performance machine but it was the ultimate in luxury and exclusivity too. Image Credit: Auto Leitner

    It was built in 1989 when AMG was still an independent tuner. In 1999, Mercedes-Benz decided to take a controlling interest in AMG and became its sole owner in 2005. Only 50 examples of this car were made and now one of them is up for sale... Image Credit: Auto Leitner

    It features a blue-black metallic exterior and an all-black interior. It's a rare car and in great condition - but it has an asking price of a whopping $242,500... Image Credit: Auto Leitner

    That is even more than a brand new 2020 Mercedes-AMG GT-R which will set you back around $163,000... Image Credit: Mercedes-Benz

    It delivers true supercar performance; the GT R's handcrafted 4.0-litre twin-turbo V8 makes 577 horsepower... Image Credit: Mercedes-Benz

    But, old is gold as they say. It is powered by a naturally aspirated 6.0-litre V8 making 380 horses. Power goes to the rear wheels through a four-speed automatic transmission. Image Credit: Auto Leitner

    AMG provided the widebody treatment and aero kit and while its suspension was made firmer thanks to performance springs and shocks. Image Credit: Auto Leitner

    A set of 17in three-piece rims complete the look and attitude. It also features larger disc brakes and an AMG exhaust. Image Credit: Auto Leitner

    The tuned V8 produced twice as much torque (555Nm) of the original engine enabling the 560 SEC AMG 6.0 Widebody to hit a top speed of more than 285kph and a claimed 0-100kph sprint of under 6.0 seconds. Image Credit: Auto Leitner

    It had an interior which was equipped with the full AMG package, fully electronic adjustable Recaro racing seats, additional walnut wood trim, an AMG steering wheel, and chrome door sills. Image Credit: Auto Leitner

    Both the driver and front passenger seats offer a memory function and lumbar support, too. Image Credit: Auto Leitner

    Offered by Holland’s Auto Leitner, it has covered only 34,637km from new. Adding to its appeal is the fact that it’s original and unrestored. Given the rarity and exclusivity of this pre-Mercedes-AMG AMG-tuned coupe, there must be plenty of interested parties out there.... Image Credit: Auto Leitner
