Description
This is the new Mechatronik M SEC, a restomodded version of the 1980s Mercedes SEC super-coupe. Mechatronik takes Merc’s big two-door barge as a basis, strips it to a bare shell, and rebuilds it with a carbonfibre widebody and a naturally aspirated 6.3-litre V8. It’s the ultimate sleeper V8, an awesome Q-car, and it might just be the best Mercedes on sale today! 🚗 Mechatronik M SEC (Mercedes SEC) 🎤 Tom Ford #TopGearFirstDrive 🎥 Subscribe to Top Gear YouTube: http://bit.ly/SubscribeToTopGear 🎥 Subscribe to Top Gear Tech YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@topgeartech ⏪ Subscribe to Top Gear Classic YouTube: http://bit.ly/SubscribeToTopGear 📖 Subscribe to Top Gear Magazine: https://top-gear.visitlink.me/YeyndO 🎧 Top Gear Magazine Podcast: https://topgear.podlink.to/Podcast ✉️ Top Gear Newsletter: https://www.topgear.com/newsletter-signup 🛍️ Top Gear Shop: https://www.topgear.com/shop Follow Top Gear ⬇️ Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/topgear/ Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/topgear TikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/@topgear X/Twitter: https://x.com/BBC_TopGear This is a commercial channel from BBC Studios.
