The 450SEL 6.9 sedan is the almighty, high-performance version of the W116 saloon, first introduced to the world at the 1974 Geneva Motor Show. Produced in limited numbers from 1975 through to 1980 with only 1,816 such cars ever exported to North America. It sported the M100 6.9 litre V8 engine boasting a whopping 286bhp, which made it the quickest accelerating and fastest 4-door production sedan in the world at the time.
The 6.9 had the first full four-wheel hydropneumatic suspension system from Mercedes-Benz and was the world’s first passenger car to be fitted with a modern form of ABS, an electronic four-wheel multi-channel anti-lock braking system from Bosch in 1978.
