I'm going to do a full walk-through of one of the best cars ever made and sho you how it's the last of its kind. This Mercedes Benz S500 W140 is the ultimate automobile, and the one I'm testing today happens to be in mint condition.

While showcasing the power rear view mirror, you forgot the trick that made this car fit barely in cargo trains. You came twist nob full 360 and lean it back then both side mirrors fold in.

I had a few w140s then bought 4 Bentleys, 1 rolls Royce , s8 , many 7 series , all kinds of Mercedes , and many other cars .. W140 is the most special to my heart.. That is why I went back last week and bought another w140 1999 Mercedes S600.

I've got a '94 S500. The one you drove was the "facelifted" one that came out in '95, the major difference being the taillights and reflector. I've had three W140s over the years and absolutely love them. I also had a newer W221 and though a nice car, it just didn't "feel" like the W140. I'll probably have one in the "fleet" until I'm too old to drive.

Enjoyed your video. I/we are lucky people that we daily drive a W140 S600 V12 (1996) and get what you where talking about in your video. The sheer "oneness" of every switch/door/knob/etc. makes the W140 feel like it is from one solid metal mass. BTW....V12, V8 and I6 in the W140s...pretty sure no V6 was offered.

@detonater1348 2 ай бұрын

There are some corrections in this video and will keep on adding it on the go There are 4 Engine choices (not 3) and no V6 engine but an inline 6 gas and diesel engines. So 2 straight 6s gas & diesel (M104 and OM603 respectively) 1 V8 and 1 V12 (M114 & M120) rspvly. The gas version got two displacement options on the W140 (2.8 and 3.2) and only the 3.2 is available in the states. The V8 got two displacement options as well (4.2 & 5.0) both r available in the states as S420 & S500 rstvly. The flagship engine M120 V12 comes with 6.0 disp. And 389 hp (detuned from 406 after 1 year of prdn). On the headlight, the little wiper was mentioned as “windshiled wiper “ (windshield is the big glass on front & rear) so the wiper is simply headlight wiper… While showcasing the power rear view mirror, the trick that made this car fit barely in cargo trains was not mentioned. You can twist adjusting nob full 360 and that will let side mirrors fold in. That was a crucial step as the width of the car was a concern in shipping procedures. Moving on…

Those A/C controls reveal a lot of info. For example, that model will have the biodegradable wiring harness, which is very costly to replace these days. It'll have a 4 speed box, instead of the later 5. The later models won't have the little guidance poles. When did the auto rear-dimming mirror get deleted; was that '95 onwards too?

@4MATICbenz Жыл бұрын

Yeah they started removing a lot of the previously standard content on the 500 models with the '95 refresh bc the cost of these were just out of control versus the much better selling LS400 and E38 7-series. The power and heated rear seats also got scraped off the standard features list in '95.

when initially released only the iinline 6 versioin of the w140 had the new 5 speed electroicc automatic trans as it had not yet been developed and rated to take on the considerable torque from the v8 and the v12 motor variants. which rmained using the long used 4 speed hydraulic automatic. the inline 6 wouls bot be considered for upgrade to bulletproffing which was an option in german market sold models ( not enough power to propel the car satiisfactoily after the added weight )
