2013 Mercedes S 600 w222 top model from S class

The figure 600 has long been a legend in the history of the automobile: the model 600 (W 100) launched in 1963 was the first passenger car from MercedesBenz to feature a V8 injection engine. This same powerful (184 kW, 250 hp) and the refined engine were also used from 1967 on in the W 109 model series (in the topoftherange 300 SEL 6. 3). Further top models to feature a V8 engine included the 450 SEL 6. 9 from the model series 116 (210 kW, 286 hp) and the 560 SE in the 126 series (220 kW, 300 hp in the ECE version). The 600 SE model in the 140 model series of 1991 marked the introduction of the first twelvecylinder engine as standard in a MercedesBenz passenger car. The M 120 delivered 300 kW (408 hp) from a displacement of 6 liters and began a tradition of V12 units as the topoftherange engines in the SClass. Since the 220 series, MercedesBenz has also offered especially sporty, AMGoptimised variants with V8 and V12 engines at the top of its SClass range, in the form of the S 63 AMG
