There’s a trend ramping up in the collector car world and it revolves around classic Mercedes-Benz models, with rare factory builds fetching huge money both at auctions and amongst private collector sales. The recent craze has uncovered some spectacular performance icons that highlight the early era of Mercedes-Benz’s AMG division. It represents a time in automotive history when boundaries on what was possible were nonexistent, giving manufacturers free rein on designing, engineering, and ultimately selling the perfect car to those who seek a more thrilling driving experience. Showcasing a true icon of its own, the team at Speedart Motorsports of Miami, FL is proud to feature this ultra-rare 1990 Mercedes-Benz 560 SEC AMG 6.0 ‘Wide-Body’ as part of its inventory of exotic cars for sale on duPont REGISTRY.
The ‘Wide Body’ version of the 560 SEC by AMG stands out as a piece of automotive history, with only 50 examples in existence worldwide. Its factory Black Pearl Metallic finish tells the tale of Herr Aufrecht and Melcher, the two engineers responsible for the AMG brand and its timeless legacy as a motorsports pioneer. The 560 SEC’s four-door sedan body style takes on a more aggressive stance thanks to its AMG widebody kit, commanding road presence with wider bumpers, side skirts, and fenders. Multi-piece black motorsport-style AMG wheels with polished lips add that extra touch of 90s style.
Inside, sleek and subtle is the main focus, configured in Black Leather with Burr Walnut Veneers. Whether you’re upfront experiencing things firsthand or in the back enjoying the comfortable dual contour seats, the Mercedes-Benz 560 SEC AMG 6.0 aims to deliver the balance between a luxury sedan and a German race car. While the entire cabin remains in impeccable condition, its most notable characteristic is an odometer that reads only 38,667 miles.
The 560 SEC AMG 6.0 ‘Wide-Body’ is powered by Mercedes-Benz AMG’s 6.0L V8 engine, an upgraded version of its already impressive 5.6L. Producing around 385 horsepower and 417 lb-ft of torque, this enables the 560 SEC AMG 6.0 to accelerate from 0 to 60 mph in under 6 seconds, a remarkable feat for a car of its size during that period. Paired with a 4-speed automatic transmission and rear-wheel drive, it offers raw speed and an engaging and responsive driving experience, all while wrapped in the luxurious and distinctive AMG Wide-Body.
