Mercedes-Benz 560SEC AMG Widebody - 1:43 Scale Model Car by Schuco
The 1:43-scale Mercedes-Benz 560SEC AMG Widebody by Schuco is a highly detailed resin replica of one of the most legendary pre-merger AMG tuner cars of the 1980s. This collectible model faithfully captures the dramatic styling that defined AMG’s early hand-built creations.
Schuco’s precision model reproduces the signature widebody fender flares, aggressive deep front air dam, rear decklid spoiler, and iconic AMG polished-lip wheels that made the 560SEC AMG a symbol of Autobahn dominance during the golden age of German tuner culture. The cockpit details include period-correct wood-effect console trim, completing the authentic look of this iconic grand tourer.
Finished in classic black, this display model is an essential addition for collectors of AMG history, 1980s performance cars, and 1:43-scale luxury models.

Historical Background: AMG's Widebody King of the Autobahn
Before AMG became an official division of Mercedes-Benz, the company built extreme high-performance versions of Mercedes cars in Affalterbach, West Germany. These pre-merger AMG models were known for their large-displacement V8 engines, aggressive aerodynamics, and unmistakable widebody styling.
The AMG-modified 560SEC became one of the most recognizable tuner cars of the 1980s. Its bold flared arches and Autobahn-storming performance turned the luxury coupe into a cultural icon—today celebrated as one of the defining cars of 1980s German performance and “Rad Era” automotive design.
