Hot Wheels Basic Car '89 Mercedes-Benz 560 SEC AMG [Ages 3 and Up] HNK15

[Contents] Mercedes-AMG is now a division of Mercedes-Benz, but originally it was an independent tuner specializing in Mercedes-Benz cars. AMG was founded in 1967, but it became widely known in Europe in 1971 when a large luxury Mercedes-Benz sedan modified by the company triumphed at the 24 Hours of Spa-Francorchamps, defying its own bulk. The tuned Mercedes produced by AMG continued to gain fame, demonstrating overwhelming speed in the DTM (German Touring Car Championship), and in 1999 Mercedes-Benz headquarters acquired a majority stake in AMG, making it a wholly owned subsidiary. As the model year suggests, the Hot Wheels car is based on a modified Mercedes produced by AMG when it was an independent tuner. Based on Mercedes-Benz's top-of-the-line and largest 560SEC engine, the car features a DOHC configuration, an increased engine displacement (from 5.6 liters to 6.0 liters), and a maximum output of 385 horsepower. Its imposing form is characterized by its large, bulging blister fenders to accommodate the wide tires needed to transfer that power to the ground.
