S-Class Tuner S-Classes - The classy and the clownish.

[Special]

We can talk about S-Classes, 7-series etc.
But the real deal is still this. The old Maybach 57s. Forget about the new “Maybachs” which are only longer wheelbased S-Classes. No. This is the real business. Made on the basis of the most bulletproof S-Class, the W140 Platform with beautiful W220 details (cluster, steering wheel etc.) and W221 design elements (rear, fenders etc.). Beautiful design, so aristocratic with such presence. You give him some cool rims and thats it.
612 horses, 1.000 Nm, belive me guys no one needs more power in a limo.

Also Vico drives two of them, they’re both looking great:

Sure, the lights are not Digital LED and the media interface is dated, but SO WHAT?
If you sit in the new W223, you’ve got plastic door panels below, if you touch the wood its cracking, if you touch the middle console its squeaking, if you touch the tacho screen it moves etc.
Nothing of that in the old Maybach. Everything is made solid like a rock and like it should be.
This is the real boss, belive me guys, this is the car for real O.G.-s.

Seldom seen so many ugly looking Benz‘s as in that video above. KS must have made the worst looking of all time. If you were driving them then, it was the ultimate proof of having no taste and no style and today it still is.
Who’s Vico?

Who’s Vico?

Vico is the collector (Patina Collective) he has now over 400 most exclusive and rare Benzes in his collection and still buying new ones from over the World. He will make a museum now, to bring the Benz Culture nearer to the people. He’s a real OG. And sorry, but the KönigSpecial Widebody C126 is the coolest Benz ever build. But there’s even a cooler car: the sun king.
Here’s Vico presenting it:

There’s no arguing about taste @Special. With that in mind, I’ve just seen a fine example of making a beautiful car into something hideous.

then you dont know much about tuning..

AMG, BRABUS, Lorinser, Carlson, MAE, Carat, König Special, SGS….check them up. Those tuning companies dont make cars elegant. If you want to have an understated car, you leave it stock.
If you want to have something special, outstanding, exclusive and exotic, then you go to the best tuners.

Yeah, right …

Thought I'd spin this off to its own thread since there are some "classics" of the German tuning scene being mentioned, and some are pretty interesting.

This remains about perfect to me, when it comes to Mercedes.

I believe that the SEC Coupe achieved classic status a few years with spare OEM parts available again.

You know a W126 wagon would have been perfect and those two rear facing jump seats would have been more friendly for adults.

This AMG kit is just …. Car porn. What a perfect blend of elegance and aggression.

This is hands down one of the best looking coupes ever made.

That 560SEL estate looks fantastic from the back and looks like a genuine T-model built by Mercedes.
