The car was first shown to the public at the Geneva Motor Show in March of the year. The initial ruler was offered two bases and four engines, and there are still eight models. The first were the cars "300SE" and "300sel", the versions with an elongated 100 mm wheelbase were denoted by the Litera "L" and were 10 kg harder. For all other parameters, cars were identical. The sedans were equipped with a mechanical five-speed gearbox and a six-cylinder M104E32 (104.990). The engine developed in 1989, in the amount of 3.2 liters was first applied to W140. The following in the line was traditional models for S-class with V8 engines: "400SE" and "400sel", and "500SE" and "500sel". The five-liter M119E50 engine (119.970) was launched two years before the W140 body, and its reduced version M119E42 (119.971) was made to the working volume of 4.2 l debut on it. The standard equipment of 8-cylinder versions was the four-touch automatic transmission, the set included alloy wheels, tires 235 / 60ZR16 (instead of 225 / 60r16 for "three hundredth") and a large list of other equipment.

But the greatest interest of the public caused the flagship of a new generation, which for the first time in the post-war history of the brand was the 12-cylinder engine M120E60 (120.980). Models "600SE" and "600sel" gave the car an unofficial nickname " six hundred"In Russia (see below). For the company itself, the Mercedes-Benz number "600" was also reference to the legendary limousine W100 "600" (produced in 1964-1981), the competitor of cars is not representative, but so-called. The highest class like Rolls-Royce Phantom V. At the Geneva Motor Show in March 1992, they presented a coupe on the S-class platform, which received the C140 index. Like the predecessor, the Cup of C126, the car did not have medium racks of the body. 6-cylinder motors on the coupe were not put, offered only the versions of "500SEC" and "600SEC" with similar sedan engines and transmission.

In general, the sedan and coupe of the 140th series were positively accepted by the public, which was expressed in sales figures. However, their huge dimensions and cost are more than a quarter above the predecessor (from 90 thousand for the "300SE" to 220 thousand DM for "600SEC") caused their fraction of criticism.

Features of the car

The latest models of the 140s had radar sensors for parking and GPS receiver for navigation

The 140th Mercedes brought a number of innovations not only the brand, but also to the entire car world. In terms of comfort, this model is one of the few on which the glass package system was applied. This is guaranteed isolated passengers from external noise, and also reliably opposed condensation. Besides, side glass When meeting a foreign subject (for example, a children's hand), during the lift, it was automatically stopped. Also, the W140 first applied the system of electrical control of the salon mirror, and the side automatically developed from the inside. The uniqueness of the early series of the 140th is emphasized by the rear antennas, which rose when turned on rear stroke And they helped when parking the shovera, which was necessary due to the large dimensions of the car.

Representative car sedans are more often meant for the passenger, and the rear places are special attention. Rear seats Also had heated, and for an additional fee, the rear row was completed with orthopedic seats with inflatable pillows. An extended car base V140, started from rear back front place, and provided a passenger for another 10 extra centimeters for the knee. But the Cup of C140, on the contrary, they were more focused on the comfort and convenience of the driver and the front passenger.

Technological breakthroughs

From the point of view of technology, Mercedes W140 serves as a bridge between cars of a mechanical era and computer. Therefore, for its seven years, production cars of the early and later series differ radically in their set. So, in 1996, the entire park received a new brake system, which when cutting braking involved and rear wheels. Also, on cars, an ESP computer stabilization system appeared, which was subsequently issued for others. car manufacturers. For the first time, side inflatable airbags were applied.

The reputation of the car's safety was strongly suffered after when in August of the year three people crashed in it, including Princess Diana. The car "S280" hit the column of the Paris overpass at a speed of about 105 km / h. Mercedes-Benz later stated that no design of the car could save while driving a driver, violating rules road (50 km / h in Paris) which caused the accident, as well as the failure of passengers feed belt Safety that could save them from death.

Special models

Landol for Pope Roman

In addition to standard models of the line described above, the W140 had many small modifications. Already in February 1992, on the basis of "500sel" and "600sel", armored special sector "Sonderschutz" appeared ( per: Special protection) B6 + / B7 class with armored windows, built-in plates, special tires CT265 / 40R500 114H. The car, has become one and a half tons harder. Other special sector were Pullman limousines. The lengthening of Mercedes-Benz has traditionally been engaged in BINZ, but in July 1996, Daimler himself began to receive orders for the S600, sawing the V140 and adding an insertion long to a whole meter. Since July 1997, Pullman has become available on the basis of V140 S500. Even earlier, in September 1995, t. N. "Pullman-Sonderschutz", armored limousine that combined both directions. The work of these modifications was manual and time-consuming, was drawn up only on an individual agreement with the client (therefore the price was officially not called) and could take up to two years. That is why the last 140s who left the MB, only in March 2000. And in March 1997, the most unique modification of the V140 S500 appeared, especially for Vatica was built Lando Papamobile for the transportation of Pope. If Lando gathered in a single instance, the exact number of armored vehicles and limousines is unknown, since they passed on the documents as standard "five hundred" and "six hundred."

If Mercedes himself stopped on these modifications, independent tuners be in addition to created many interesting models. Just during the release of the W140-x, Mercedes-Benz came close to the company AMG. When Daimler himself stopped participating in motor racing in the late 1950s, in 1967, enthusiasts engineers in Affalterbach formed a company that specialized in transformation serial cars Mercedes-Benz'a in racing and performed on them in different leagues of motor racing, mainly in DTM. But at the same time was not limited to their details for motor racing and sold them to private clients. By the beginning of the 90s, the business expanded to such a scale that during the above-mentioned marketing transformations of Mercedes-Benz's start and mid-90s, in the early 1993 year an agreement was concluded with AMG, which became the official tuner and finalized standard models, which then Mercedes himself sold in dealerships. The appearance of the V12 M120 engine, gave the AMG ability to create a range of modifications, both for its CLK-GTR car and for Pagani Zonda cars. Although the engine itself had impressive, characteristics, for the data of supercars, it was required to significantly finalize by creating a number of modifications of 6.9 7.1 and 7.3 liters. Mercedes-Benz W140 was not suitable for sports purposes, but in 1997, Sultan Brunei Hassanal Bolkiah, famous for his passion for collecting cars, made an unusual order at AMG for 15 cars. The result was a kind of wagon (based on the developed prototypes for an ambulance card) with the front from the C140 coupe. But, under the hood stood the engine 7.3 Motor V12, identical to that Pagani Zonda.. Although Bolkiy later reduced the order up to ten cars, AMG redested eight more S600 in S73T. And at the same time provided the opportunity to modify the S600 and CL600 in S73 and CL73, respectively.

Other firms also created a series of modifications for W140: BRABUS lengthened to the V140 half-meter by creating a six-bed limo; Lumano removed from the C140 roof by creating a full-fledged convertible, and Zagato, on the contrary, turned it into a three-door liftback. Expansioned limousines were also built by Caro and Binz. And Carat Ducatelet, created "Pullman-Sonderschutz" in its performance.

Evaluation

In Russia, the 90s "Six hundred Merins" structures a new elite and crime

For many, the W140 model was the last of the "old" Mercedes, where high quality relied on a technological innovation, without taking into account costs and savings. In Germany and Western Europe itself, it was not possible to repeat the success of his predecessor: 432,732 cars were produced in total, including 26,022 coupe. For comparison - W126-X was released twice as much. But those buyers who could afford this car remained very satisfied with high quality. Many believe that the 140th model raised the level of the S-class from simply a full-size sedan to the representative limousine and was actually an ideological successor of the legendary limousine W100 600, which is evidenced by the flagship of S-class V140 600sel / S600.

Last digit for russian market It turned out to be historical. After all, the mass production of the 140s began in 1991 when the USSR broke up, and the flagship of the prestigious German brand MiG became a necessity for the new generation of Russian elite (so on. New Russians), hence the famous nickname "Six hundred". After the removal of the 140th Mercedes with the production of the S-class, returned to its roots of a full-size sedan, and the new flagship of Mercedes was the W240 subsidiary of Maybach, which, by the way, were built on the W140 chassis.

The car of this model was the character of the Russian series "Brigade" Valery Filatova. It is on him that he falls into the famous accident, almost worth their lives. Also, the heroes of the TV series "Gangster Petersburg" were traveled on this machine (in the "lawyer" part of the Block, when Gurgen went to this model in 1989-90), "Mole", "ment in law" and others. The first owner of the six hundred "Mercedes "In Russia, Vladimir Zhirinovsky became.

1994 Mercedes S600 W140 6.0 l / 394 hp - 4-seater, 1 owner

Mercedes-Benz W140 - Model of the flagship S-class Mercedes Benz brand.


Produced from 1991 to 1998. The 140th Mercedes came to replace the 126th, which, despite his success, is morally outdated by the beginning of the 90s. New car Brought a lot of innovations of the series: in addition to a more aerodynamic case, the car had a unique double glazing, automatically closing doors and trunk, a climate control system that continued to work after turning off the engine, as well as tail antennas, rising when the reverse is turned on.


Like his predecessor, the car was produced with a short (W140) and a long (V140) base, as well as in the 2-door coupe version (C140), later separated in 1996 in his own CL-class.


History of production

The car was first shown to the public at the Geneva Motor Show in March 1991. The original line was offered in two bases and four engines, and eight models. The first were the cars "300SE" and "300sel", the versions with an elongated 100 mm wheel base were labeled "L" and were 10 kg harder. For all other parameters, cars were identical. The sedans were equipped with a mechanical five-speed gearbox and a six-cylinder M104E32 (104.990). The engine developed in 1989, in the amount of 3.2 liters was first applied to W140.

The following in the line was traditional models for S-class with V8 engines: "400SE" and "400sel", and "500SE" and "500sel". The five-liter M119E50 engine (119.970) was launched two years before the W140 body, and its reduced version M119E42 (119.971) was made to the working volume of 4.2 l debut on it. The standard equipment of 8-cylinder versions was the four-touch automatic transmission, the set included alloy wheels, tires 235 / 60ZR16 (instead of 225 / 60r16 for "three hundredth") and a large list of other equipment.

But the greatest interest of the public caused the flagship of a new generation, which for the first time in the post-war history of the brand was the 12-cylinder engine M120E60 (120.980). Models "600SE" and "600sel" gave the car an unofficial nickname " six hundred"In Russia (see below). For the company itself, Mercedes-Benz, the number "600" was also reference to the legendary limousine W100 "600" (produced in 1964-1981), the competitor of cars is not representative, but so-called. The highest class like Rolls-Royce Phantom V. At the Geneva Motor Show in March 1992, they presented a coupe on the S-class platform, which received the C140 index.

Like the predecessor, the Cup of C126, the car did not have medium racks of the body. 6-cylinder motors on the coupe were not put, offered only the versions of "500SEC" and "600SEC" with similar sedan engines and transmission.

In general, the sedan and coupe of the 140th series were positively accepted by the public, which was expressed in sales figures. However, their huge dimensions and cost are more than a quarter higher than the predecessor (from 90 thousand DM for "300SE" to 220 thousand DM for "600SEC") caused their fraction of criticism.

Already in October 1992, two "budget" models appear on the Paris Motor Show. The first was "300SE 2.8", having a similar "300SE" motor but with a volume of reduced to 2.8 l (M104E28, 104.944), and similar MCPP. The second model, "300SD Turbo" had a turbodiesel 3.5-liter six-cylinder OM603D35A (603.971). According to the tradition of the tradition, traditions since 1978 diesel models S-classs were intended only for export to North America, which explained some of the features of their configuration, (for example, automatic transmission as standard equipment, both on more expensive versions).

The first parties of the car released in October 1991 were indeed going through the Atlantic. But in September 92, Daimler makes a model available in other markets. It was mainly purchased for official goals by companies and taxis. Entering more rigid exhaust values \u200b\u200bforced Mercedes-Benz to reduce the power of all other engines by limiting injection on large revs. On dynamic characteristics, it almost did not affect, but led to an improvement in fuel consumption indicators. The appearance of "budget" s-classes allowed to improve regular equipment more expensive versions and refuse mechanical boxes transmissions to "300SE" and "300sel" from January 1993; Tires 225 / 60R16, replaced at 235 / 60r16.


In June 1993, Mercedes-Benz takes a new system naming system that takes the letter (one, two or three, some combinations are abbreviated), so-called "Class", and numbers, still denoting the volume of the engine. All W140 modifications were renamed according to the new system: "300SD Turbo" became "S350 Turbodiesel", "300SE 2.8" → "S280", "300SE" and "300sel" → "S320", "400SE" and "400sel" → "S420 "," 500SE "," 500sel "and" 500sec "→" S500 "," 600SE "," 600sel "and" 600sec "→" S600 ". In addition, Mercedes-Benz lowered the clearance of a car by 6-9 mm depending on the model. This made it possible to increase the clamping force and reduce fuel consumption. However, the transformation of "300SE" and "300sel" in "S320", touched not only the new name. So, the power system (LH-JETRONIC), replaced the thread sensor mass flow air, new so-called "Film", which appeared on the model 104.944 engine M104E28. The new M104E32 motor received the factory code 104.994. The modified engine now had a higher torque at lower revs.

1994 brought a number of changes. For the first three years of production, despite the high assessment of buyers, the high price of the car did not allow to achieve the level of sales of the predecessor W126, so Mercedes takes a number of measures to reduce it. In February the lineup Cup C140 complements the "lightweight" model "S 420" (during this period, the C140 coupe has not yet managed to highlight in the CL-class). In March, the sedan is restyled. Externally, the car changes orange glasses of rotation pointers to transparent, and the back receives new lights. In addition, the clearance of the car is reduced, and matte plastic bumpers begin to paint in the color of the body. Inside the car receives updated electronics and new Salon. BUT flagship sedan The S600 can now be distinguished by a slightly modified radiator lattice. The update also affects the V8 and V12 engines. Motor M119 got a new crankshaft, optimized valve control, lighter pistons, individual ignition coils for each cylinder and an optimized engine control unit. The last two changes also affected M120. Together with the new more compact and light automatic transmission with electronic block Control and administration of fifth, increased transmission with a locking mechanism in a hydrotransformer. Fuel consumption decreased by 7%, and emissions of harmful gases by 40% without degrading dynamic qualities.

Recent changes occur in June 1996. The coupe is subjected to similar renewal of the 1994 sedan. At the same time, Mercedes decides on the further development of its classification system and separates C140 to a new CL-class (CL - Comfort Leicht or easy comfortable). Many coupe updates were also transferred to a sedan, for example, a refusal of drawn "antennas" in the rear wings that helped navigate in the parking lot. They were replaced with a radar parking system - Parktronic. A GPS receiver appeared - a satellite navigation system. At the same time, the S350 TURBODIESEL model was replaced with the S300 Turbodiesel with the new three-liter Turbodiesel OM606. The working volume decreased, but the engine had twice as much valves and turbocharging with intermediate cooling, which in addition to the reduction of fuel consumption improved the dynamic characteristics of the car.

Updates and increased volumes of production and sales by the end of the 90s did not help the W140-MU to repeat the success of the W126. However, the value of S-class W140 for Mercedes is difficult to overestimate. The symbol and standard of the representative class (F) asked a kind of standard and approved Mercedes's leadership in the segment for years. In July 1998, production begins to turn out, and on August 25 a conveyor stops. The minimum release of the 140rs continued until the beginning of 2000, these were special sections: armored Sonderschutz and elongated Pullman limousines. At the end of 1998, the W140 S-Class replaces new car Mercedes-Benz W220, and the coupe allocated in 1996 in the SL class, replacedmercedes-Benz C215.

The uniqueness of the early series of the 140th is emphasized by the rear antennas, which rose when the reverse is turned on and helped when parking the shovera, which was necessary due to the large dimensions of the car.

Representative car sedans are more often meant for the passenger, and the rear places are special attention. The rear seats also had heated, and over an additional fee, the rear row was completed with orthopedic seats with inflatable pillows. The elongated W140 car base, started from the back back of the front place, and provided a passenger for another 10 extra centimeters for the knee. But the Cup of C140, on the contrary, they were more focused on the comfort and convenience of the driver and the front passenger.


Technological breakthroughs

From the point of view of technology, Mercedes W140 serves as a bridge between cars of a mechanical era and computer. Therefore, for its seven years, production cars of the early and later series differ radically in their set. So, in 1996, the entire park received a new brake system, which, with a sharp braking, rear wheels involved. Also on cars, an ESP computer stabilization system appeared, which was subsequently produced under license for other automotive manufacturers. For the first time, side inflatable airbags were applied.


The reputation of the car's safety was greatly suffered after when in August 1997, three people crashed in it, including Princess Diana. The car "S280" hit the column of the Paris overpass at a speed of about 105 km / h. Mercedes-Benz later stated that no design of the car could save while driving a driver, a violation of traffic rules (50 km / h in Paris) which were caused by the accident, as well as the failure of passengers fasten the safety belts, which could save them from death .


Special models

In addition to standard models of the line described above, the W140 had many small modifications. Already in February 1992, on the basis of "500sel" and "600sel", armored special sector "Sonderschutz" appeared ( per:special protection) B6 + / B7 class with armored windows, built-in plates, special tires CT265 / 40R500 114H. The car, has become one and a half tons harder. Other special sector were Pullman limousines. The lengthening of Mercedes-Benz has traditionally been engaged in BINZ, but in July 1996, Daimler himself began to receive orders for the S600, sawing the V140 and adding an insertion long to a whole meter. Since July 1997, Pullman has become available on the basis of V140 S500. Even earlier, in September 1995, t. N. "Pullman-Sonderschutz", armored limousine that combined both directions. The work of these modifications was manual and time-consuming, was drawn up only on an individual agreement with the client (therefore the price was officially not called) and could take up to two years. That is why the last 140s who left the MB, only in March 2000. And in March 1997, the most unique modification of the V140 S500 appeared, especially forvatikan was built by Lando Papamobile for the carriage of the Pope. If Lando gathered in a single instance, the exact number of armored vehicles and limousines is unknown, since according to the documents they passed as standard "five hundred" and "six hundred".

If Mercedes himself stopped on these modifications, independent tuners be in addition to created many interesting models. Just during the release of the W140-x, Mercedes-Benz came close to the company AMG. When Daimler himself stopped participating in motor sport at the end of the 1950s, in 1967, enthusiast engineers in Affalterbach formed a firm that specialized in the transformation of Mercedes-Benz's serial cars into racing and performed on them in different vehicle leagues, mainly in DTM. But at the same time was not limited to their details for motor racing and sold them to private clients. By the beginning of the 90s, the business expanded to such a scale that during the above-mentioned marketing transformations of Mercedes-Benz's start and mid-90s, in the early 1993 year an agreement was concluded with AMG, which became the official tuner and finalized standard models, Which then Mercedes himself sold in dealerships. The appearance of the V12 M120 engine, gave the AMG ability to create a range of modifications, both for its CLK-GTR car and for Pagani Zonda cars. Although the engine itself had impressive, characteristics, for the data of supercars, it was required to significantly finalize by creating a number of modifications of 6.9 7.1 and 7.3 liters. Mercedes-Benz W140 was not suitable for sports purposes, but in 1997, Sultan Brunei Hassanal Bolkiah, famous for his passion for collecting cars, made an unusual order at AMG for 15 cars. The result was a kind of wagon (based on the developed prototypes for an ambulance card) with the front from the C140 coupe. But, under the hood, the engine 7.3 Motor V12 was identical to those standing on Pagani Zonda. Although Bolkiy later reduced the order up to ten cars, AMG redested eight more S600 in S73T. And at the same time provided the opportunity to modify the S600 and CL600 in S73 and CL73, respectively.


Other firms also created a series of modifications for W140: BRABUS lengthened to the V140 half-meter by creating a six-bed limo; Lumano removed from the C140 roof by creating a full-fledged convertible, and Zagato, on the contrary, turned it into a three-door liftback. Expansioned limousines were also built by Caro andbinz. And Carat Ducatelet, created "Pullman-Sonderschutz" in its performance.

Evaluation


In Russia, the 90s "Six hundred Merins" structures a new elite and crime

For many, the W140 model was the last of the "old" Mercedes, where high quality relied on a technological innovation, without taking into account costs and savings. In Germany and Western Europe itself, it was not possible to repeat the success of his predecessor: 432,732 cars were produced in total, including 26,022 coupe. For comparison - W126-X was released twice as much. But those buyers who could afford this car remained very satisfied with high quality. Many believe that the 140th model raised the level of the S-class from simply a full-size sedan to the representative limousine and was actually an ideological successor of the legendary limousine W100 600, which is evidenced by the flagship of S-class V140 600sel / S600.


The last figure for the Russian market was historical. After all, the mass production of the 140s began in 1991, when the USSR broke up, and the flagship of the prestigious German brand MiG became a necessity for the new generation of Russian elite (so on. New Russians), hence the famous nickname "Six hundred". After removing the 140th Mercedes, the production of the S-class returned to its roots of a full-sized sedan, and the new flagship of Mercedes was the W240 subsidiary of Amaybach, which, by the way, were built on the W140 chassis.
