Jay Leno presents the Mercedes-Benz 600 Kompressor in the next video. A giant limousine that was one of the most expensive cars you could buy in the 1970s. And it reminds Jay of his youth when he worked as a temp at a Mercedes dealership.
In a luxury limousine, of course, you cannot ask the crew to roll down the windows or open the trunk themselves. At that time, the hydraulic system was responsible for what the electronics handle today. This makes it one of the most complex cars of all time. Although a huge car, it handled very well and provided tremendous comfort to the crew inside. For example, there was also a refrigerator. Under the hood beats a 6.3-liter eight-cylinder with an output of 180 kW. The car is mainly known as a favorite car of doctors, but John Lennon also had one at home.
