1985
Mercedes-Benz 560 SEC (W126)
The W126 SEC Coupé was the finest expression of the Mercedes philosophy of the 1980s — a car that offered absolute quality, passive safety beyond anything else available, and a 5.6-litre V8 that produced 300 hp in a near-silent environment. World leaders, industrialists, and film directors drove W126 Coupés to signal unapproachable success.
