W140 Ko 860 Sleeper

[motec 6.9]

Take one W140 S600 mix with C215 CL65 turn up the wick to just under 860hp at the rear wheels and this is how a sleeper should look http://totalcarmagazine.com/classicandbeloved/2014/06/30/mercedes-benz_ko860/

The W140 can look mean, classy and statuesque.
Add 840 horses and you have a monster.

It would have to be very high up the list of ultimate sleepers.

Cars like this make me like W140. I don't know the shape has finally started to grow on me I find them pleasant in styling now.

Well, it is the ultimate sleeper. BTW Geoff, the thread is good enough to be placed in the Road Test section of TK - would you like to transfer the thread, or do you want to leave it to Admin. ? It is a great read - so factual, and so relevant. Regards Styria

N.B. Don't mind saying so, but that is my kind of car - believe it or not.

V12 W140 sure is quick off the mark!

3:08 of tyre burning I would hate to be paying for four new tyres!

Just sheer grunt.
