Jag har tänkt skriva ett inlägg länge om just AMG 6 liters variant av V8an som satt i SL R129.
Men jag orkar inte, det får bli videos istället.
AMG produced several variations of the R129.
The 500 SL 6.0 AMG and the SL 60 AMG are the most common (although still hugely rare) and essentially feature 6.0 litre versions of the m119 V8.
This was specified as producing 386bhp but common consensus has it that the engine makes at least 420bhp & 580+Nm (now 20+ years later the dyno results varies from 388 – 435 bhp, its all about how the owner has taken care of the car). These cars came with AMG suspension which is fair amount stiffer, AMG wheels (17″ on early cars, 18″ on latter, split rims on both) and usually (but not always) AMG bodywork and AMG Exhaust system.
The reason why Mercedes-Benz officially said that the engine ”only” had 386 hp (at first) was because they couldnt admit that the V8 had more power than the V12 (389 – 394- 408 hp depending on the year)
Post June 1998, AMG produced the SL 55 AMG with a 356bhp, 5.5l version of the m113 V8 (used in the SLK 55 AMG)
