There are certain things that cannot be psychologically split from each other and one of them is undoubtly Mercedes and V8. It took them a certain amount of time until the very first V8 emerged, but ever since then it become as typical as a dog chasing cats. This is how it all began with Mercedes and AMG.

6:02 If memory serves, AMG wasn't originally part of Mercedes - its founders were _former_ Mercedes engineers. It was just an independent company that did contract work to improve some of their cars, but it also contracted with Aston-martin and Lotus. Koenig was the same, producing bodywork and performance modifications initially based on Ferraris - and later on including Mercedes, Jaguar, Porsche and Lamborghini. It wasn't until the late '90s that M-B bought a controlling interest in AMG, and a few years past that before AMG was completely owned by Mercedes (somewhere in the mid 2000s.)

I have worked on a couple of new AMG 6.3 engines, they are absolute monsters. Test driving them when i was done happened with a HUGE smile on my face. I had to replace the intake gaskets on both of them, seems like a fairly common problem. Also had to replace the front pads and rotors on one, the two piece front brake rotors are CRAZY expensive. It was a while back, but Im certain they were carbon fiber or ceramic rotors?? Was like a $5,000 front brake job. I suppose anyone buying one of these knows the maintenance costs beforehand and isnt concerned.

Yes the W100 600 SWB Limo does have two calipers on each front wheel but the disks are not ventilated instead solid in construction. Original pad supply was two types, one set per caliper, to facilitate cool and higher temperature braking ability. The braking system servo system is pressurised via the air compressor also used for the suspension. The storage tank has two chambers. One for the braking system and other for the air suspension. The braking system takes charging priority when the reservoir is being filled. The W103 300 SEL 6.3 has a more conventional brake vacuum booster unit and ventilated disks at all four corners. The air suspension storage tank only has a single chamber. It uses the same type of rolling bellows air suspension as the 600.

Hi, the Fuel injection was Bosch MFI not a Daimler development. AMG by that time was Just Erhard Melcher as his business Partner had gone off to work on cylinder head development . The Red Pigs development was secretly assisted by Waxl. If you look carefully at the vids of the Spa race ,he is the tall guy assisting in AMG's Pit during the race.He was there secretly. AMG did a lot of engine swaps of M100's into things like W107's. The craziest was a 350SLC with a 7.2 liter modified M100 with Maserati 5 speed trans and the most glamorous was W100Guru's karl Middlehauves W112 cabrio fitted with a 6.3 . This was when AMG was a real tuning company,not a brand name. -I own 6.3 #1675.

One interesting note. People sometimes say that M100 was very underrated by Mercedes and actually made more then 300hp. It would probably do 400 HP if GM did the measurements in 1970....🤣😁 It was a underrated a little from factory but in reality it is because it was measured with DIN70020 procedure. This means the engine has to make the rated power for 15 minutes continuously and continue functioning afterwards within safe operating temperatures. While running with all accessories, intake and exhaust used in the car. In late 60s engine power in US was measured by somewhat fake gross standard. It measured engine power with no accessories and any intake and exhaust manufacturer wanted - including ridiculous race intake and exhaust setups. US switched to much more reasonable SAE net standard in 1971 that mandated accessories, intake and exhaust like DIN but the length of the procedure was only 1 minute. As and example Cadillac 500cu/8.2l V8 from 1971 made 365 HP gross and 235 HP net. Mercedes M100 6.3l/383cu made 245HP DIN. The Cadillac is more extreme case of gross vs net difference but 20-40% difference is realistic. That means M100 6.3 really would be rated at ~300 gross HP even with stock exhaust and intake. And we know race 6.8l made 400+ HP in endurance setup. In reality the top power numbers are not relevant. The impressive thing is the extreme endurance M100 has at high load. Compared to it period US V8 and Italian V12 had quite short life at full power.

My dad's buddy bought one of these from the German consulate and drove it to Graceland for Elvis's funeral, where they opened the gates and let him in, assuming he was a friend (nope). My dad had an old 450 SEL 6.9 in New Mexico in the late 80s for a few years and we would leave pursuing police behind as he laughed, even in the mountains, until they stopped trying to chase him.. I paid $3000 for an 85' 500 SEL in the early 90s and put 100k on it, never let me down once.. sad what the Japanese knockoffs did to the company.. never the same after the LEXUS effects of parts bin sharing forced engineers to lose out to the bean counters.. 96' E class and 00' S class were first of the not as great cars (AMG's great though).

Let me guess . This engine had a motorcycle like chain insted of the bicycle chains they use nowadays? And ofcourse it was a meaty hefty lump of metal , almost bombproof ?

Sounds like it was the VW Phaeton of its day. Probably a bit better, accounting for changing standards.

You might like to compare the 300 SEL 6.3 standard cars with the four door Australian 1971 Ford Falcon XY GTHO phase 3. 5.8 litre Ford Cleveland motor. Understated HP but estimated 385hp. Top speed: 228 km/h (142 mph) @ 6150rpm 0 - 60 mph - 6.4 seconds 0 - 100 km - 6.9 seconds Standing 1⁄4 mile (400 m) - 14.4 seconds using the standard 3.25:1 Detroit Locker diff ratio. More speed available if the rev limiter of 6150 rpm was disabled. A blueprinted one can run to 7000rpm. Hard to buy one under a S1,000,000A now despite being half the price of the 6.3 when new.

The 600 is my favorite luxury car, if I was a billionaire I'd get myself one and a pair of gold glasses, some tiny flags for the fenders and a driver so I could roll around town like a minor dictator, going out of my way to ignore the peasants in an exaggerated manner.

Mercedes 6.3L V8 weighed 750 pounds and put out 286 hp. Chevrolet's 7.4L V8 weighed 650 pounds and put out 450 hp. The Red Pig wouldn't have been so much of a pig if they had just swapped an LS7 into it.

@@pete4334 I didn't say it was. There was a whole series of LS engines before the modern tall-deck small block that was introduced in 1997. The first LS7 was a 454 big block, produced in 1970. There was also an LS6, an LS5, and an LS4 454, all introduced in 1970.

Rotte Sau actually used 6.8 and made around 430hp while optimized for endurance racing. I have no idea which rating they used. Some say SEA gross but why would AMG in Germany used american SAE rating? It was probably DIN rating in kW but likely not real net rating as with road cars. It pretty much makes all the power comparisons useless because they were done with different procedures.

Its not the engine, its the fuel injection, as two Words and a bunch of numbers, Folk Wulf 190, the car is literally using a fighter planes fuel injection system, Ian Tyrell went over it in one of his videos, the god damn thing is using the dump all the fuel in and make as much boom as possible fuel injection system of a fighterplane from the war that gives it its throttle response lol

Mercedes planned to build a 4,4 V8 and a 6,6 V12, but they were to lazy for the V12 and so they bored the V8 to 6,3; later to 6.8 and called it 6.9. What is so great about this?? P.S.: The "Rote Sau" is only a mock up, the original one had a Lamborghini Gearbox (!!) and was way faster than this showcar with his lousy Automatic tranny.

Mercedes should also start to manufacture electric versions of their 60's' early 80's classic cars. Fiat has their 500/600 reissue and many other manufacturers have also made new versions of their old popular models.
