The 450SEL, specifically the W116 model, is a Mercedes-Benz sedan that was equipped with a 4. 5-liter (4520cc) V8 engine. This engine, designated M 117 E 45, produced 225 horsepower and 377 Nm of torque. The 450SEL was known for its luxurious features, including a longer wheelbase compared to other models, and was considered one of the best sedans of its time.
To get a 116 with only 50, 000 miles 50 years after it was launched is very special. This long wheel based stretched saloon moves effortlessly and gracefully and brings a smile to passers by as much as the driver.
By the end of the 1960s, the strich acht was due a successor, and while the W116 S-class that replaced it had no catchy nickname, it did have a very clear brief, taking the luxury model in a new direction for design, driveability, and – as was becoming ever more important at the time – safety.
Mercedes implemented an entirely new suspension system, with a control arm setup at the front (lower wishbones with single upper links connected to an anti-roll bar), using lessons learned from the C111 development vehicles. Zero-offset steering geometry – good for stability, but something that can increase steering effort – was justified on the grounds that all models would use assisted steering anyway.
