December 28th, 2023 at 9:44am ESTPeterQvortrup (13) Seller 0@MBFahrer questionable statement in many respects, as all the AMG Japan cars mostly have little to no provenance (I should know i have bought 15/16 over the past 10 years) and AMG in Germany are not particularly good or willing to answer questions about individual cars even the ones modified in Germany. At the end of the day all these cars are "just" modded W126s as you say, I own a standard 560SEC which has over 400,000 kms on the clock, I have owned until late 2019 a 560SEC 6.0 AMG Japan spec. so I have a pretty good basis for comparison and the standard car is an excellent, durable and enjoyable car to drive, what AMG and Koenig add is rarety, notoriety and performance, and a bit of “street cred” if you like, the Koenig considerably more than the AMG I have to add. For me the Koenig is the more fun car to drive, on track it takes corners in a way that the AMG cannot touch for example, it is just as fast as well and the super charger mod is extremely well done, especially compared to the twin turbo version of the same car. So there you are. Peter December 27th, 2023 at 5:56pm ESTMBFahrer (34) 1@AE327 AMG cars have provenance, heritage, brand recognition, and a widespread following. This, while an incredible car, is just a modded W126 at the end of the day. Like trying to compare a 360 to an Enzo. Two different things.
