Description
An extraordinary opportunity to acquire a true rarity: a 1995 Mercedes-Benz S 600 Coupé, the flagship model of the legendary W140 series. Moreover, the S 600 Coupé marked the debut of Mercedes’ first series-production V12 petrol engine (M120), which in this model year produced 394 horsepower and 570 Nm of torque. This engine was renowned not only for its power but also for its incredibly smooth operation.
The nickname “bálna” (whale) was not given to the W140 generation in Hungary without reason: in its time, it was Mercedes’ largest and most imposing passenger car, which immediately commanded attention with its stately presence. The S 600 Coupé was even more exclusive, as the combination of the two-door body and the V12 engine represented the pinnacle of luxury. The car exuded a status that heads of state, magnates, and, of course, the top leaders of organized crime could not resist. Wherever a “bálna” coupe rolled up in the nineties, the atmosphere would freeze.
Interestingly, the W140 series debuted innovative technical solutions such as double-pane windows for better sound insulation, soft-close doors for convenient closing, or the optional adaptive damping system (ADS), which adjusted the suspension to the driving conditions. The S 600 Coupé was not just a car but a technological pinnacle that represented the best of engineering science in the nineties. Today it is a true classic whose value is constantly increasing.
