500 SEC AMG: The large coupé now reaches a top speed of 280 km/h.

13.January, 2013 @12:01     Coupe News
The ingenious engine developer Erhard Melcher designs a four-valve cylinder head for the eight-cylinder engine in the Mercedes-Benz 500 SEC, thereby increasing power output to 250 kW/340 hp. The extraordinary V8 engine, whose valves are placed at the tight angle of 30 degrees, is sold more than 300 times. The unit also marks the beginning of the transformation of AMG from a vehicle tuner to a manufacturer, as several engine components need to be produced by the company. The powerful V8 is also used in the new 300 E 5.0 AMG (W124) mid-range model, enabling the lighter vehicle to reach a breathtaking maximum speed of 280 km/h.

_WHAT_IS_COUPE

A coupe (or coupé) is a two or four-seater car with a fixed roof and two doors. The style is generally used for sportier models in a manufacturer's range.In the 19th century, a coupé was a carriage with two doors enclosing seating for two with an exposed area on the front for a driver. In recent times it has become very common for a coupe's roof to slope down at the back in a shallow 'streamlined' fashion.This is sometimes called a 'fastback' design. Speakers of American English pronounce the word to rhyme with "sloop" (IPA) /ku:p/).and spell it without an accent. In Europe and the UK, the original French spelling and a semi-French pronunciation are often used — ( /'ku:pe?/).
