500SEL 6.0 V8 AMG 0-100kmh, Forgot to shift.

Yes, I left the car in first gear and forgot to shift into second**, I test drove some extremely rare and modified Mercedes-Benz 500SEL 6.0 V8 32V with 400BHP which is apparently very rare. This car is a ROCKET, for anything out of the late 1980's, if I had shifted properly this thing would have done the 0-60 in a flash

how do you shift a w126 automatic?!

Manual gearbox!

I'm kidding, shift through the automatic gears...I shifted down because I wanted to utilize first gear

Where did you get this car tuned? Did you buy it like this or did you ship it to AMG? Also, do you have an AMG HAMMER if you do post videos of it!

My cousin bought it like this, The previous owner was quite wealthy back in his days and was the first owner, He said the 6.0L 32V was pulled from another car and was slightly tuned to give a bit more power. Unfortunetly, as much as I'd die to add a AMG HAMMER to my garage...I have never found a genuine article for sale.

Nice car, it looks fast. You should make some more videos of this awesome car, make sure you use a better camera though lol.

Soon I'll make a video of trying to crack its top speed, the owner says the car hits a brick wall after 240-250 and is quite slow on its way to 300...So I have to find a place with a very large piece of tarmac and I think the rear tires need to be changed...

@wankelFan2 they did actually offer a 5 speed manual for the DOHC 6.0, although nobody really specced it

[SIMOPARAS]

horrible video... u should know

[TheSkylineShopVancou]

Yeah. This car I remember from which is a long time ago used to do the 100kmh-240kmh faster than the Lamborghini Countach but that was a lighter E class body....So this will probably go the same....
