Eines der besten Autos aller Zeiten; mit dem ich bis jetzt140.000 km zurückgelegte. Das Auto der Ingenieure, mit Ergonomie, Bedienung und Performance nahe der Perfektion. Selbst Neuwagen im Jahr 2016 fahren nicht komfortabler als die 25 Jahre alte Baureihe 140!!! Mercedes Benz Willkommen zu Hause
W140, the last true Mercedes-Benz...clear, also today you get some good s-classes like the car Ivan MNE talked about, but the W140 was in a time, where the Mercedes-Benz quality was truely not to beat. The car got his problems, like the low payload in the 600, but that wasnt bad quality, it was just because of its heavy engine.
i buy an old 600 last week (in memory of my younf years i owned several w140) i found a beautiful S600 L of 1993 ..a buy it immediatly (for replace my AUdi A8 with quantity of failures)
this vid brings back memories of my old 1994 S500. It was my first Mercedes and my one true treasure. It was the safest car ive ever owned and also the most reliable. What a tank-car. It looks ugly now but back then it was the best looking thing on the road hand downs. I will always remember this car :)
i am 24 and i drive a W210 E200 K for 5 years ....but from when i was 12 i dream the W140 ...when i seee for the first time a W140 i remained with no words......sorry for my bad english ......mercedes it's the best
Hahahaha same here now I'm 15....but good news I already have w140, because my uncle sale his car with cheap price, so why not?? But I have major problem, now my w140 is already in shop because over heating when I stuck in traffic jam, so now my mom very upset because it only 1 week from I bought and it's broken, so now my mom tell me she gonna sell my sweetie w140, and change it to Japanese car again....I hate Japanese car!! It's not worth it for me!! Do you have advise to maintenance old mercedes?? Because many people compiling it get easily broken...please help me....so I can stay with my mercedes for last forever....😢😢
i do maintenence for my self :D it's not easy but i like :D car's are my pasion :D espicialy mercedes.......i think next year i buy a W140 :D i go to work in germany :D
One question that I wanna ask, are w140 use air suspenstion, because what I know it will broke when hit 300 km...and also are the spare part are expensive than E class??
i prefer the bmw 7 e38. But the w140 is one of my favorite cars. Mercedes put a lot on efford in that car, andit worth it. Every little detail on the car makes it one of a kind.
Over engineered indeed. For a 1980-1990 car, the offset crash was near modern day standard in maintaining body structure. And the technologies in the car in that timeframe was amazing.
обожаю его! до сих пор представительский вид достоен взглядов, поставить 25 летнего кабана рядом с новенькой кией или таетой будет все равно вид дороже и круче а самое главное- серьёзней!

@@yusska722 No I diden't, I'v had lots of different Mercs, 500Se w126. E55AMG w210 and a SL500 R230 to name some. But never a 140. Now I have a S212 E250 AMG 😁 But! I would like to have a W140 😁😎
затраты на производство запчастей до сих пор не окупились , так как очень качественная сборка , детали на высшем уровне ... их собирали .чтобы не ломались ,а на вечно делали
I have a 2005 S 500 4Matic,I had a 2000 before that I also had an 1983 diesel,I think my 05 is the best one I've owned but if you are talking about the 2012 model I agree and have no desire for one.
Didnt you hear the speed it was doing? Around 200kph from what i heard. Show me a car that will keep anyone safe at that speed when it hits a reasonable large solid object.
w220 and w221 S classes are good too, mine uncle have w221 S320 cdi, and it passed 300k kilometers, and when u start it up, u can clearly say that is new car, u will never say that car passed that much, just u need to hear how that engine works :) btw i own w126 500se, i mean, S class was always been and will always been best car in the world...
Ein Auto was seiner Zeit definitiv derbe voraus war heute fällt er kaum auf wenn man mal einen sieht was ja immens selten geworden ist eben - wenn man heute ein Ford Mondeo nur sieht der sieht doch auch schon wuchtig genug aus z.B. - Diese S-Klasse W - 140 war von den Sitzen eine Wucht Megabequem vor allem die Coupe Einzelsitze im Fond es war ein völlig anderes Raumgefühl als im W - 124 und dennoch hatte die Optik eine gewisse Ähnlichkeit mit der damaligen Mittelklasse nur eben nicht böse gemeint nun als aufgepumpte Version aber eben sehr viel mehr Luxus und Technik (Can Bus u.a.) !!!! ....
That's why it's hard to believe that princess Diana died from that crash.. the car looks like it's been in a bad accident, that's it.. not a fatal one. Anyone seeing the car would not think it was fatal, especially for back seat passengers.. weird
0:53 Bemerkenswert ist hier die Typenbezeichnung "320 SE" - scheinbar ein Nullserienmodell, eventuell war zunächst diese den exakten Hubraum angebende Bezeichnung geplant, die Serienfahrzeuge hießen dann aber "300 SE", obwohl dem Motor M 104 stets 3,2 Liter Hubraum hatte. Dasselbe beim 400 SE, Motor M 119 mit 4,2 Liter! Oder der Diesel 300 SD Turbo, Motor OM 603 mit 3,5 Liter. Erst ab Mitte 1993 mit der Einführung der neuen Nomenklaturen dann die korrekte Typenbezeichnung (S 320 - S 420 - S 350 TD)!
This car is great i have drive it but i dont owen it, i have drive 500S, and i have drive BMW 740IL, i think BMW more sporty and Daynamics, and better handiling,and i also found that mercedes 500s is more comfortable and silent, and the vibration level is alittel pit less than BMW, But mercedes W140 dosent have navigation system and TV screen, like BMW, the accelration of both car is simler
She (and Fayid - however you spell that) died because they were not wearing seatbelts. The belts are why her security guard ( in the FRONT SEAT no less ) survived. Not sure about why the driver died. With this being said, Mercedes, BMW and Volvo are kickass cars specifically in the safety department. Have personally owned these cars. My Volvo saved my ex-wife's life (collision @ 50+ mph). No injury other than shoulder pain and airbag chafing.
But i Still tinking a 65mph crash is so slow to died like they died. Today popular cars crash at 100mhp and i see cases that People still alive. I feel really insecure about buy some w140, even loving them I
Please help me!!! I confused....I have w140 but it already in the shop!! What I wanna ask is, how hard to maintenance w140 engine, I saw few comments below, some people say "the engine is suck" and some people say "it is a reliable engine" so what the true one?? So I know how to maintenance my engine if it hard I gonna very careful, but if it reliable so I'm gonna maintenance my w140 like most of Japanese car....please answer me!! Thks you so much who reply this!!! Sorry for my English I gave my best...
ray mcknight teh car is very reliable, my aunt has a s300 1992 and still runs. They have reliable engines, but due to al the technological items such as the self close doors and all those electrical sistems, you can have some electrical problems. The only thing is the maintenance of the car, is expensive. Besides of that the car is reliable
wen i mention the vacum door i only use it as reference. in fact, its a surprice for me that my aunts vacum doors still works. The suspension is expensive indeed. Also parts of the cars are expensive. But if you maintaint it well, the car wont be a pain.
Sebastian Conde your aunt is lucky!! I have s320 and it's already broken....but the mercedes benz shop is waiting list so I don't know what the problem...
The best w140 is 500 lwb and 300 (second choice),i like own this car because with my low financial means and my hate of gazole motor and economic cars, its the best choice in france. Is a cheap car in used car market ...never mechanics failure after lot of years and kilometers...the 600 isnt better of v8, its under in term of fiability and noise,for a very few gain of power...and it a v12 too expansive in maintnance !
Tja...Tut mir leid, dass dieses Auto schon lange nicht montiert wird. Bin mir sicher, würde es wieder produziert (vielleicht mit neuem Automobiltechnick usw.), so bekäme's noch neue anhänger von denjenigen, die sich heutzutage angesichts der durchgeknallten kantigen zu modernischen Designrichtungen der heutigen Autmodeln nix passendes finden...Hoffentlich wird uns Mercedes-Benz künftig noch so etwas vorstellen.

Would not give up buying this model if I have chance. It is a landmark product in the history of industrialization.
I have a 1994 S350 TD and it is an amazing car.
It has 360000 km's and the engine is perfect!
Mercedes sets the standard... what more can i say!

The definition of excellence.
