Mercedes C112 Concept - 1991
6,0 Litre
V12
408 HP
Vmax : 307 km/h
At the 1991 IAA car show in Frankfurt, Mercedes-Benz presented the C112 after a three-year development period. It was a concept car but unfortunately there was just that one model built, despite the fact that there were serious production plans for the limited sports car. About 700 potential customers had registered their interest. Senior management ultimately felt the supercar did not suit Mercedes’ plans for the future. There was a link with the successful Sauber-Mercedes Group C racing car. However, the street-legal sports coupé was luxuriously equipped with features such as power steering and brakes, rear-wheel steering, an audio system and Active Body Control. There was no luggage space. Under the aluminium body panels hides a V12 engine from the then current 600 SEL.
