It's amazing how much the real world cost of the S-class has decreased in 30 years. Who could afford it back then?! $87,500 in 1995 is like paying $180,500 dollars in 2024 according to the inflation calculator. A new S-class today days starts at only $117,250.
you could have the safest car of the world, and your own bodyguard. It won't't protect you from crazy driving, as both the W140 and Diana Spencer are cases in point.
Back in that time, 8 seconds to 60 was a good performer, but a step behind the leaders The redesigned Lexus LS400 was moving at about that rate, with better MPG, due to a smaller engine, and being much lighter The Infiniti Q45 in the low-7s, 0-60.
The last great Benz, everything after this was and is trash, but even with this 1995 refresh it was a dinosaur. People can say what they want, but by this point in time the Lexus LS400 was really eating into S-Class sales numbers and MB was on notice.

I love the W140
Same. It's a real luxury cruiser. Nothing can compare. Lexus is nice but it's not in the same league (in my opinion) as the Mercedes Benz brand.
S600 🔥

Yuck! The 140 is just huge and boxy, that's it.
Too bad you'll never know what it's like to be inside one 😁🥂
Now you go enjoy!!!!
If you drove one or even rode in one, you would fall in love with it immediately.
The W140 was the very last of the over-engineered Mercedes of yore. The next generation was a huge step down in quality.
@@VideoAmericanStyle big time. The materials were way different.
