Cool Benz 1996 S60

Greetings everyone, I have a quick question to ask. I am currently overseas looking at purchasing a 1996 Benz S60 but everywhere I have looked on the internet doesnt seem to know if this car exsists. I have seen it its the S500 model but its an AMG S60. Anyone ever hear of the 96 model of this car? Can you shed some light on this?

Thanks a ton!

Yes, it does exist. Just time your 0-60 time. If it's around 7 seconds, it's an S500 and if it's just a tick under 6 seconds 5.5 to 5.9 it's the real deal.

S600

I saw ad for S60 wich I did not know existed, but evidently it is a AMG modified S600. It is a 12 cylinder version of the S500 and is a little pricier, a little faster, costlier to repair. It does have individual adjustable A/C in the back seat, and a little more "wood" and trim. A 16 year overview of MBs is at this link but they dont show AMG models.[urlttp://www.mbusa.com/brand/container.jsp?/overview/index.jsp[/url]
