Summary
The Mercedes-Benz 300 SEL 6.3, built between 1968 and 1972, was the fastest saloon produced in Germany and could also keep up with fast sports cars. It was created by combining the long-wheelbase version of the 300 SE with the engine from the Mercedes 600. 6.3 liters of displacement and 250 hp in combination with the lighter 300 SEL saloon made it possible to achieve outstanding driving performance without sacrificing comfort. This report goes into the history of the development, describes driving impressions and shows the saloon in current and historical pictures, supplemented by original brochures and press information, as well as a sound sample.

Preview (beginning of the article)
Thomas and Peter play car quartet. Peter confidently pulls out his next card and says 200 km/h, but Thomas replies dryly "220 km/h, no one is faster!"

Peter might have been able to outdo it with a Cadillac or Rolls-Royce only in terms of engine capacity, but performance, top speed and price - around DM 40,000 or the equivalent of seven Volkswagens - were superlatives for limousines at the end of the 1960s. And the car was three times as fast, 18 times more powerful and 12 times more expensive than a Goggomobil, which the average consumer might have driven at the time.
