Car articles about Mercedes-Benz 280 C by year
It was not just one luxury sedan among many. It was the luxury sedan. The one against which all others had to measure themselves. The one that was only measured against the very highest standards. The Mercedes-Benz W 116 once again drew from the full before lightweight construction and air resistance put an end to the Swabian solid construction of steel and chrome. This article describes why the first S-Class, even with its six-cylinder engine, belonged to the pinnacle of automotive engineering and shows a picture of a Caledonia green 280 SE.
Over 35 years ago, Mercedes presented the S-Class of the W 126 series, the superlative saloon that was more aerodynamic, safer and more innovative than all the competition. Only the simple and unusual design initially caused some controversy, but the continuing success and over 800,000 units produced proved that Mercedes was right. This driving report portrays a Mercedes-Benz 500 SE of the first W-126 generation and describes its development and special features.
