Mercedes SL 500 https://www.500e.nl/autos/mercedes-500sl-r129/

The main attraction at the Geneva Motor Show 1989 was the 500 SL, not only the most powerful SL with its 326 hp 5-liter 4-valve V8-engine but also the most powerful standard Mercedes-Benz car. The design of the 4-valve V8 with code M 119 was based on the 5-liter light-alloy M 117, which had been produced for ten years. To improve performance the crankcase, crankshaft, and connecting rods had been extensively improved. The 4-valve cylinder head was a new development; like that of the six-cylinder engine, it had adjustable inlet camshafts. As with both six-cylinder engines, the exhaust, and catalyst system had been thoroughly revised. The sheer power of the 5-liter 4-valve engine gave the 500 SL breathtaking performance far in excess of that of its predecessor: 0-100 kph was achieved in 6.2 seconds and the top speed was electronically limited to 250 kph.
