In March 1968 the 300 SEL 6.3 became top of the class of this model series. It was equipped with the V8 engine and the automatic gearbox of the 600 models so that its power was equal to that of a high-level sportscar. Its presentation at the Geneva Motor Show created a sensation, especially since there had been no hints, that a model like this was to be forthcoming. From the outside, the 6.3 could only be recognized by its broader tires, double halogen headlights, and additional distance beam headlights. Even though it cost over DM 10.000 more than a 300 SEL and twice as much as the 280 SE, many customers were interested in the 300 SEL 6.3, so that 6,526 units were produced.
