Mercedes-Benz 600SEL / S600 Long - W140 (1992 to 1999)

The Mercedes-Benz 600SEL, later known as the S600 Long, was one of the top variants offered for the W140 S-Class Sedan. The 600 SEL was built on the long length W140 platform, and was powered by Mercedes' M120 E60 engine. This 6.0L V12 powerplant generated 390hp, which it sent to the rear wheels via a 4 or 5 speed automatic transmission. The 600SEL became known as the S600 Long in 1993 when Mercedes changed their naming conventions, although the car offered remained the same. Production of the W140 S600 ended in 1999, although the model series continued life in the next generation W220 S-Class as the W220 Mercedes-Benz S600.
