Mercedes 450sel 6.9 W116

[flurry]

The Ronin poop-brown Mercedes was a 6.9!

as the real car that filmed the cinema veritè illegal race "C'était un rendez-vous",

which everybody mistook for a Ferrari 275.

[guitaristjon94]

I wish I had a 450 sel

[drafthorselover]

Did they make any with a manual shift?

[saabofmodesto]

This music is off of a SAAB commercial. Love the video and the 6.9 engine sound!

[kacperrros]

Love this car ... Best Mercedes ever ...

What title song ?

[artmilenio1]

I have Mercedez benz 450 sel for sale right now .

[artmilenio1]

I had 1976 Mercedes benz

[AlexxSR]

It looks showroom condition, it just needs some amg monoblocks now

[HesseJamez]

Most of them went to USA - German gas price is to high for those cars.

[McLarenMercedes]

@HesseJamez

German gas prices weren't very high in the 70's and the rich Germans can afford to pay for the gas anyway.

[HesseJamez]

@McLarenMercedes

We paid around 1 Deutsche Mark/ Liter in the 70s ($ 0.50 per quarter Gallon), no we have that fucking Euro nobody wanted- and pay 1,60 Eur/ Liter ( = $ 8 per gallon). 70 % of our gas price are taxes anyway....

[McLarenMercedes]

@HesseJamez

Yeah, I am glad we said NO to the Euro in the referendum back in 2003. So far everything in the Euro countries has been getting more expensive, whereas our prices have stayed the same. 

[nitishk9]

I like the way it takes off with all it's big V8 grunt,

[michealbensin]

sweet car!!

[Nza420]

closest i've come to driving a 6.9 was a 500AMG with a 6.9 air meter and some super hot 4.5 cams.. talk about white knuckles!

[RayVal53]

Oh no! Why the trailer hitch!? I can maybe understand if it was a diesel, but still!

[DanielJ83]

What is that song called? I know that song from a Movie i just cannot remember.

[blackrangr]

just bought another one....sight unseen..had one in the 70's...cant wait to get behind the wheel...but..its gonna take 3 days for the car transport company to freight it here...

[reflectivegoat]

Nice video of a great car. I had an opportunity to buy one of these a few years ago- discovered a problem with the suspension- the HYDRAULIC suspension. PASS.

[W123W116]

nice sound! thank you!

I have a 'normal' 450SE that I enjoy a lot. a 6.9 is an elusive dream :-)

[michealbensin]

Nice car!!!

[Jacum001]

Yes. It's the best car I've ever seen.

<3 and this sound...

[TheNomad22]

its a great car i love it

[palandoken84]

When you're an owner of a 6.9 you own not a car you own an airplane. YOu fly over the highways, it's a feeling you can hardly describe. Can't tell it in words you have to try yourselve if you want to understand. Just amazing!

[TheNomad22]

i agree

[palandoken84]

rockets at 0:47" by using the Kickdown. I often do the same with my 6.9, best feeling in the world!!! Just seeing in the front mirror other cars getting smaller and smaller and smaller by doing this:-) Best car in the world.

[ScubaSteveM45]

I think this is the same model that was used in many of the big chase scenes in the movie Ronin

[w116036]

thats right big daddy...the infamous turd brown 6.9 of Ronin fame...if you listen to that movies commentary, the producer supposedly liked these big engined mercs

[ScubaSteveM45]

I can easily see why the producer likes them. I am going to watch my DVD of Ronin just so I can see all the chases again.

[SteveSpicerPortsmuth]

Also it was a 6,9 driven through Paris in 1976 in the original "high speed driving through the city streets" movie C'etait un rendez-vous

Unfortunately the camera was mounted on the bumper so you can't really see that car, which have led to many believing it is a Ferrari driving through the city.

The director admitted he used the engine sound of his own Ferrari 275GTB to dub over the sound of the 6,9

Most ignorant fools angrily refute the claims it's a Mercedes, and don't know the 6,9

[HesseJamez]

@w116036

Do you know how many RHD models were made? Never seen before...

[TheZizou0505]

@w116036 what means the 6.9

[poetlorryit]

[w116036]

thanks for the backup P4olom. unfortunately, wtc13 is a known accomplice just ribbing me. his jeeps do bite royally, and usually need to be pulled out of obstacles by a gwagen, but ill cut him some slack as his dad has a nice 450!  btw wtc13 - you gave me -2 rating you lil swine!

[jwtc13]

Dude, get a real man's car. Get a JEEP.

[p4olom]

you're a dumbass. Does your jeep have a displacement of 6.9 liters? I didn't think so

[jwtc13]

before you go calling anyone a dumbass, I suggest you get in the loop first, Dumbass. oh yeah one of Jeeps has a 7.3L V8. Oh btw, i also do have a 116.

[humdidoadi]

i think your charakter is so low in position, that you need a jeep to attract attention! very poor...

[rortizm]

I thinks the same... that kwtc13 need a "big car" to atract the attention of people... hahaha poor idiot!

[angelynewolfe]

That black BMW Z4 in the drive by clip is awesome.
