Magma Red 2001 Mercedes-Benz AMG SL600

Whispering Thunder: A Photographic Tribute to the Mercedes-Benz M120 V12 Engine

Classic Mercedes-Benz styling meets a giant six-liter M120 V12. I’ve loved these cars as long as I can remember, they were the coolest things on the road at the time. Set aside the beautiful styling, the engine is also a masterpiece. The entire drivetrain is so incredible smooth, it can whisk you away with very little drama.

The combination of an almost 400hp V12, short wheelbase and insane levels of luxury seems like an odd combination. I liked it and I can see why others do as well. The car easily sold on Bring a Trailer for a final sum of $65,000.

I'd love to hear about your car and what you need — whether it's a Bring a Trailer listing, a private sale, a dealer lot or just a proper set of your build. No shoot is too small. A year, make, model and a rough timeline is enough to quote, and I answer email fast.
