The Mercedes-Benz W126 is a series of passenger cars made by Daimler-Benz AG. It was marketed as the second generation of the Mercedes-Benz S-Class, and manufactured in sedan/saloon (1979–1991) as well as coupé (1981–1990) models, succeeding the company's W116 range. Mercedes-Benz introduced the 2-door C126 coupé model, marketed as the SEC, in September 1981. This generation was the first S-Class to have separate chassis codes for standard and long wheelbases (W126 and V126) and for coupé (C126).

That looks like the 6.2L NA. It also needs that era's steering wheel otherwise I love the interior.This car is a stunning restomod of a wide bodied 560SEC with a supercharged 5.5 AMG V8.

Amazing AMG SEC
Fun fact:
A "MUST HAVE" car for brothel proprietors here in Germany throughout the 1980s.

Gangsters of all varieties, no doubt. Especially the black on black. I vaguely remember the blacked out C126s and C140s were particularly popular amongst the Yakuza.

I'm waiting for that elusive "Mythos" 2+2 "personal luxury" coupe. BEV would be fine with me. Perhaps based on the new AMG.EA electric architecture.

Surprised nobody's posted this.
If it's done tastefully this could be rather special indeed.
