Mercedes-Benz SL-Class (R129) SL73 AMG 1995

Well, I'll just let this quote from wikipedia say what this car is.

The extremely rare SL73 AMG was sold through AMG in 1995, and at 525 bhp (391 kW) it offered the most powerful V12 engine ever put into an SL up to that time. After a brief gap, the SL73 was offered again from 1998 to 2001, although the engine was slightly updated to be more reliable. The same 7.3L V12 was later used by Pagani in the Zonda. A total of 85 SL73 AMG roadsters were built. The SL73 was briefly reintroduced in September 1999 following the SL's end-of-life facelift and a limited number were produced up until December 2001. The facelifted SL73 is the car that appears in the picture (left).

Yup, the rarest of the SL class Mercs. Since the R129 SLs in GT6 are standards, I thought I would just suggest this. This is a very important car.

Thank you, I'm actually surprised that noone else thought of this Mercedes before me. I saw at least 30 other threads that involved Mercs.

It also contains the V12 that powered the original Pagani Zonda. It's Legendary!
