This is piece of tuning history that I feel is quite interesting for classic Mercedes enthusiasts or those who wants to know a bit of Mercedes tuning over the years. Sometime last year Lorinser celebrated the ‘wild 70s’ with a press release on the Lorinser tuned 1970s Mercedes Benz W116 series 450SEL 6.9. This grandaddy of the current S-Class is a forefather to all of those Mad Mercedes-AMGs out there running extremely large capacity engines like the current S65 AMG or the E63 AMG. This Lorinser W116 also shows how long the firm has existed and how long enthusiasts have been tuning Mercedes Benzes.
