Description
Arguably, these cars were the best cars in the world at launch.
In 1979, the Mercedes-Benz S-Class was relaunched, and once again took a big technological leap from what came before. Aerodynamic styling penned by Bruno Sacco signaled a new look that would filter its way down the entire range and showed that Mercedes-Benz was not about to lose its lead in its sector of the marketplace.
Original engine line-up spanned 2. 8-litre and six-cylinders, as well as the 3. 8- and 5. 0-litre V8s, all of which were very well established. By 1981, these engines were updated for improved fuel consumption.
