1986 Mercedes- Benz 560-sec on 2040-cars
United States
|
Here is your chance to own one of Mercedes-Benz’s best and most expensive production cars at an impossibly low starting bid and no reserve. This is the very best car I've ever owned; I would drive it coast to coast and back again - now - today. Well, then ... why am I selling it? I am 78 years old on a fixed income. I have too many vehicles. Medical bills are eating me alive. Need I say more? In 2008 I drove a 1986 Porsche 911 from Maine to Georgia to attend a high school reunion. Just before I departed from Georgia I blew an air box. A week later and a thousand dollars poorer it looked like I was going to be throwing hundred dollar bills at the car for at least another week. It was then that I decided to swap even the Porsche for the Mercedes 560 SEC. By the time I got back to Maine I was in love with the Mercedes. My total virtual investment in the SEC 560 at that time was $11,000.00. The car has been a dependable runner and I have taken it on many long distance trips. This vehicle has a strong engine that uses no oil. The odometer ceased to work on August 5, 2011 at 134,622 miles. I would rate the condition of this car as "good." It has dependably taken me on many trips from Maine to Georgia. Two years ago I towed a utility trailer from Maine to Western Vermont and returned with a sidecar motorcycle. The vehicle runs and drives great. It has been well maintained and has had all necessary work done to obtain a yearly Maine inspection sticker, which expires on 1 January 2014. There is a half-dollar size circle of bare aluminum on the hood and trunk lid of the car. The spots look like hail damage but there is no denting. There is a minor rust spot at the rear of the left side wheel arches and some chrome flaking on the front bumper. The sun roof needs some parts to be installed, which could possibly be in the trunk. I have seldom owned a vehicle without a trailer hitch. I purchased and installed the only receiver hitch available for this model car. I don’t remember the price but it was a doozie. Recently the ABS light on the dashboard occasionally comes on. My mechanic says that a front sensor needs to be adjusted or replaced; aside from this the brakes work perfectly. Last month a latch spring in the left side door broke. Consequently, the latch has to be reset (a simple operation) if the door is opened from the outside. The gray leather interior is "fair." The driver’s seat shows wear from 27 years of regular use. The upholstery under the rear window needs to be re-sewn or replaced. The rear window has some haze along the sides. There may or may not be some additional minor items that could be fixed but do not affect the operation of the vehicle. The car is sold "AS-IS." I am a private seller. I have done my best to describe this item carefully and accurately, The pictures depict this item exactly as it is. If you have any questions or concerns, please feel free to contact me. Thanks for looking!

Mercedes AMG and Cigarette Racing debut 2,220-HP electric motor boat
Thu, 14 Feb 2013Take the Mercedes-Benz SLS AMG E-Cell, stretch it and take off the wheels then make it float and you've basically got the just-unveiled Cigarette AMG Electric Drive Concept. Powered by an all-electric powertrain that offers 2,200 horsepower and 2,213 pound-feet of torque (and uses "numerous components" taken from the not-quite-as-yellow SLS AMG Coupé Electric Drive), the sleek concept is being called the "world's most powerful electric drive powerboat." What that means is a top speed of over 100 miles per hour from four 60-kWh lithium-ion batteries and two banks of six liquid-cooled, permanent-magnet synchronous electric motors. And the 240 kWh of total energy should provide plenty of juice out on the water.
Launched (but not literally) at the Miami International Boat Show today, the Cigarette AMG Electric Drive Concept is the result of a partnership between Mercedes-AMG and Cigarette Racing. The boat is 38 feet long (much longer than the 15-foot SLS) and is plastered with AMG branding on the sides and top of the bow above the matte chrome yellow paint (officially called AMG Electricbeam mango). Two 220-kW chargers can refill the batteries, dockside, in about seven hours.
The idea of a powerful electric boat is nothing new (Henrik Fisker talked about a plug-in hybrid watercraft late last year), but this is the first time we've seen Mercedes put its EV technology on the water. Anyone who's afraid of driving an EV in the rain should take note. Check out the complete press release below.
Mercedes-Maybach G650 Landaulet fetches record $1.4 million at auction
Mon, Oct 9 2017Alas, G-Wagen fans: The last available 2017 Mercedes-Maybach G650 Landaulet has sold to a private Belgian buyer, with all proceeds to benefit the children's sports charity the Laureus Sport for Good Foundation. The price tag at the Zoute Sale at Bonhams was a record ˆ1.2 million, or about $1.4 million. We previously dubbed the luxury off-roader " the ultimate safari machine" for its super-extravagant features. Its soft top can be raised or lowered electronically, as can a glass partition to the driver's compartment (wouldn't be a Landaulet without that, now would it, Jeeves?). What's more, the two rear seats can be fully reclined, with leg rests extending from below, and with access to folding tables, 10-inch LCD screen and heated, cooled and illuminated (!) cup holders. As it has the number 650 in its name, however, the Landaulet also features a twin-turbocharged V12 that generates 630 horsepower and 738 pound-feet of torque. Bringing up the G-Wagen part of the bargain is a four-wheel-drive system with front, center, and rear differential locks, that sends power to solid portal axles front and rear, which move the differential and drive axles above the wheel centers for additional ground clearance. The grandest G sold Friday in Brussels was reportedly straight from the factory and one of only 99 to be built. No G650 Landaulets were sold in the United States. The Bonhams Motoring Department's fifth annual Zoute Sale also saw the purchase of a 1968 Ferrari 365 GTC Coupe for ˆ805,000 euros ($945,000), the second most-valuable lot of the sale. Related Video:
The Vision Mercedes-Maybach 6 is pure electric excess
Fri, Aug 19 2016The Vision Mercedes-Maybach 6 is a two-door, two-passenger coupe that spans over 18 feet long. Everything about this car is more than you need. But isn't that the true definition of ultimate luxury? With so much sheet metal, it can be tricky to get everything to look right, but Mercedes seems to have done nicely with this concept. Overall, the car's long nose and short deck are reminiscent of the Mercedes-AMG GT, and the long, tapering tail and lights are similar to that of the Mercedes-AMG Vision Gran Turismo concept from a few years ago. Capping off the front of the Mercedes-Maybach 6 is a proud, prominent grille that the company claims was inspired by a pinstripe suit. At each corner are 24-inch wheels with transparent panels based on the transforming, aerodynamic wheels of the Concept IAA Mercedes previously showed. Powering this massive coupe are four electric motors that can produce a combined 738 horsepower. Mercedes says that will be enough to get the car to 62 mph from a standstill in under 4 seconds. The motors are backed by an 80 kWh battery that the company says can propel the car up to 200 miles. Perhaps more interesting than its range is the fact that the Mercedes-Maybach 6 can pick up a charge worth 62 miles in just 5 minutes, assuming you've got the right charger. This is technology that could really make a difference in the day-to-day practicality of electric cars, provided that it makes it to reality. The car can be charged either by being plugged in, or wirelessly with an inductive charging system. Inside, the Vision Mercedes-Maybach 6 has even more fantastical features. It does retain analog gauges as a link to the past, but augments them with wrap-around glass trim that doubles as a display and touch-sensitive interface. The windshield seems to be pulled from Mission Impossible with its ability to display information. Sensors in the seats are designed to read the condition of the passengers and even their outfits to custom tailor everything from lighting to massage features. It's hard to say what the production odds are for this mega Mercedes, but you probably shouldn't hold your breath. Even for the rarified segment of seven-figure cars, this would be pretty extravagant. It wouldn't be impossible, or without precedent. Back when Maybach was still its own brand, the company created a ridiculous luxury coupe called the Exelero, and they sold the fully-functional car.
