Mercedes-Benz 500 SE - innovative long-distance comfort of the eighties

July 28, 2016 — Bruno von Rotz 101

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.

Mercedes-Benz 500 SEC - timeless Gentlemen's Express

October 24, 2018 — Bruno von Rotz 86

Eight out of 26 Grand Prix drivers in the 1983 Formula 1 season drove the same car privately, a Mercedes-Benz 500 SEC. With automatic transmission and five-liter V8 engine. And not only the racing drivers were enthusiastic about the elegant coupé, the press and customers also recognized the qualities of the four-seater top-class coupé. And even today, almost 40 years later, the 500 SEC is far more than just an old car. This driving report tells the story of the W126 coupé series and shows it in almost 100 illustrations, supplemented by the sales brochure and a sound sample.

Mercedes-Benz 600 SEL (W140) - a ship is coming

October 15, 2020 — Sven Jürisch 69

Hardly any other car was as polarizing in the 1990s as the Mercedes-Benz S-Class W140 series. Too big, too ostentatious, that was the criticism. This criticism has since been silenced, because a W 140 is no bigger than a current Passat. Only much more sophisticated. But how does the top saloon, the 600 SEL from back then, feel today? This driving report focuses on the twelve-cylinder version of the Mercedes-Benz W140 series and portrays it in current and historical pictures.
