The Mercedes-Benz C126 is the two-door coupé of the W126 series, the second generation of the Mercedes-Benz S-Class made by Daimler-Benz. It was introduced in September 1981 at the IAA Frankfurt as the SEC, with 380 SEC and 500 SEC trims at first, and was the first time a coupé was derived from an S-Class chassis. Its styling differed from the saloon, the first time a coupé had fully distinct styling, and it carried on the Mercedes coupé tradition of a pillarless design with no B-pillar between the front and rear side windows. The coupé was fitted only with V8 engines. Once the second series arrived in 1986 the range grew to include the 420 SEC and 560 SEC. In all 74,060 coupés were made, and coupé production ran from 1981 to 1990.
