- 3 Unique Design Features of the W140 - Mercedes-Benz S-Class
The Mercedes-Benz S-Class W140 has its fair share of lovers and critics, and even after three decades since its launch, the design still elicits a polarizing response. The reviews of the W140's design is well documented, from its stately and imposing road presence, to its portly and ungainly stance compared to its predecessor - the handsome W126.
Here we will share with you three design features of the W140 that we believe make this model unique in the Mercedes-Benz line up, and one of which we believe is unique to the W140 among all other production cars in recent history. We have not seen any article or video mentioning these unique design features, so we hope that you would learn something new about the W140 in this video.

i don't know how i never noticed the flush glass feature, how beautiful! my parents had a w140 when i was a little girl and i've anyways loved their road presence. truly amazing cars.
The W140s certainly command attention on the road. Very stately cars
I just got my white knight 1998 S420 at the end of last year, and am going through the bittersweet process of the restoration to it's former glory.
Congratulations! Enjoy the restoration process
Yes yes more 140 content!! The 140 is dying, parts are hard to find but God damn what an amazing series of cars
I have a 500 SEL 92', it's the best car ever and I love it, greetings from Ecuador.
I have a w140 S320 and love it every tiem I seat behind the wheel. The best of the best, although I have a 123, 107 and 126.
DREAM CAR ! EXCELLENT VIDEO !
Very Nice
I love your videos about w140 ❤❤❤❤❤
Any Mercedes pre 2010 I enjoy. Love the w140!
You can say that again bro 👍👍👍👍
Nice how did I miss this video. I will post some videos of my W140 soon.
I drive an early ('94) S320 and i can find no equal to it. Ill have to drive it the rest of my life since any other car would be a downgrade.
Very true. This will always be a benchmark. It was the best car in the world of the 90s. Period.
@@HLClassics Exactly!
W140 is the best S-classe ever!
I also have a W140 (1998), I love it, I would never want to part with it!
Glad you made a new video brother. Was longing for one. And umm a new fan ❤❤😎😁😁
Thank you brother for the support! Glad you enjoy our videos 😊
@@HLClassics ❤❤❤❤
The w140 is a nice car,when everything is working)) when something broke,you're screwed))
The 1993 rear tail light bar is what the brochure looks like. However, it is made of 2 pieces that meet at the trunk key cover trim. Maybe marketing was trying to duplicate the earlier model look.
The rear end of the W140 reminds me of a Toyota Mark 2 (JZX100) series 2 rear end.
Cool video! New to learning about this chassis and it’s a very interesting chassis!
❤❤❤❤❤
I’m considering one , but I was so set on the swb and they are harder to find , as s320 . Ive found one perfect in perfect color combo , but it’s a lwb . My dilemma . Thanks
We feel the LWB looks better proportionally for the W140. And your passengers in the rear will love you for it.
Whats wrong with a lwb, i feel they look better
I still don’t understand what the hell a beltline or lack thereof on the W140 is. I’ve googled and other illustrations have it close with the description of the “shoulders” of a car. What is a beltline?? The G class and ML wasn’t clear at all to me.
I just don’t see or get it.
**ok just googled the w220.
I see it now. No indentation on the W140 there. Just flat like this video says. That was tough, wOw.
Once you see it, you can't unsee it. It is such a slab of a car :)
@@HLClassics it really is. All I saw were beltlines on my way to work today🤣
Ur totally right. I can’t unsee it. Very interesting design or lack thereof in this 140 sedan series.
@@winstonl3571 what does it look like? I cant see
@@MERCEDES-BENZS600GUARD_V12 ok, if you type in w222 rear, or look at the rear of a w222, look on top of the gas tank. At the top of the gas tank, where it starts to curve inward. THAT is what the w140 does not have. Look at any 222 gas tank area is the best way I can explain it. The gas tank starts to curve inward because of the 222’s beltline that runs across the tank areas upper half when looking at the sedan from a side angle. The upper half gas tank area of the 140 is pretty much a str8 area with nO obvious indented striped beltline that would run across this upper area of the gas tank square, when looking at the 140 sedan from its exterior surface.
It was funny to see a Lincoln Town Car used as a taxi in Poland at 3:18, don’t know how the driver could make a profit driving around a rear wheel drive V8...
My 93 400 SEL is the ship I go down with. No question,anything else is a downgrade.
