At 235,000 miles, My 1996 S500 still turns heads, drives like a dream, and is Class to the Core. EVERYONE who rides in it comments “ Wow... this is so quiet... solid... smooth...” and new S-class openers just say “ ..they don’t make em like this any more...”
All s class models are awesome but no other set the bar quite like this one did, Mercedes management just told their employees to make the best car you possibly can no matter what it costs and they did
Mercedes can’t build the cars they want to build they understand the modern day buyer is into computer screens ,20 inch wheels and exaggerated exhausts pops/bangs…no modern Benz feels like 126,140 and never will.
Yeeees because The Bruno sacco who is he designed this w 140 s on the 90 s year it was perfectlt and after the bruno sacco s Mercedes Benz s can t be perfectly like as a bruno sacco s designed cars Best regards feom turket 🇹🇷👏🏻
The W126 may be the even more elegant, timeless car, but the W140 is the absolute engineering killer of the 20th century. There is no other car - especially Mercedes - which was constructed so deeply to the end as the W140. Technology, quality and solidity create a living room atmosphere that is second to none. This S-Class is a moving castle that uncouples you completely from the rest of the world ... and in two ways, because in 1991 it was like the other star
This happened when engineers were decision makers, not accountants... I own W124, C124, W210 and W211. But I'm really into W140, wish to get one decent W140 in the near future.....
Advanced to his time. Many technologies that the W140 applied, are now owned by popular segment cars. Long live the W140. For me, the best Mercedes of all time.
@@fa6151 M104 straight 6 S320 is easily the most reliable. Those engines got more refined from the m102-103 then the 104 is the most perfect straight 6 on par with toyotas 2JZ. No wonder u see m104 engines used in classic mercedes swaps and also used for extreme performance racing where they churn out 700hp with stock internals of the M104. I had both the V8 and straight 6 versions of W140. When it's well sorted , the m104 runs good for the weight of the car, I never felt like it was underpowered. I admit that the V8 suits the 140 well but I saw ur comment leaving the S320 out and naming the S420 as the most reliable. Yeah it's already well known in the W140 forums that the M104 S320s are the most reliable if you maintain them as you should. Mine is at 122k miles S320, it's very low. One a block away driven by an old dude got 556k miles out of the original engine. Even original trans, everything works on his car and the only issue he got is weak reverse. Thanks for listening to my Lecture.
Work your way up dude! I now have a W140 but I have owned a few cars before it. I have learned to work on them and maintain them to a high degree, and I am now able to keep my W140 in excellent shape, but I wouldn't want it to have been one of the cars that I learned to work on!
I have a beautiful W140 S320L for sale in Malaysia. Imported in 1999. Beautiful paintwork with no rust or leaks. Original sunroof. Have replaced most parts, overhauled gearbox, with new alternator and all suspension done too. Runs very smooth, quiet and powerful. Prestine condition, no repairs required. One of the best kept W140. Just buy n drive. Selling USD 10K only. 👍
I was convinced as a kid that the opening shot of the silver car on carpet was a scale model! I remember the presence these cars had, I still see a '92 600 SEL driven locally which is still in pristine condition
My grandfather had this car, a 1994 Mercedes Benz W140 S600, the only one that is the best in indonesia. But it's a shame, I'm not allowed to drive that cool car. 😞
When the engineers designed the new S series W140 , they all brainstormed into how to make the S series better than it*s predecesors, they added airbags, a more comfortable ride, when you are inside the cabin you don*t feel or hear a thing, more safety, a telescopic, adjustable steering wheel, when you went 8n reverse 2 look a like antennas would go up to show the owner/driver how close he /she was, from the curve or the next car, you could select which engine suited better a diesel, V8,V12.
W140 was the ultimate engineering creation of Mercedes Benz after W126. Today the design and options are many but what W140 gave to the us cant be compared by any automobile. In middle east we use to call it shaba meaning demon.
I'll never forget the day i was 11 years old in 1991 and my dad bought an S-Class... There was nobodie in town that had a car like that. Nowadays you see S-classes everywhere.. Wish i could go back in time and smell the leather interior... It was the top of the top.. Everone was talking about "that new S-class" in town hahahaha..
Love my 99 S500 with only 78k original miles. This is my 7th W140 I had them from S320 to S600. It is the last REAL German Mercedes built in my opinion. Even though I also own W220 and W215 it’s a totally different cars comparing to W140.
True story! The US government had a $4B budget to develop the F-117 Stealth Fighter. Mercedes had half that developing this model. I wouldn't trade my '94 420 for the fighter!
The biggest mistake that Mercedes-Benz made, heavy power, high power, very strong safety, a modified body, you will not and will not make the same .. thanks german for this w140 👍👍👍
А американцы при проектировании истребителей (а это на два порядка сложнее автомобиля) уже в середине-конце 60-х активно использовали продвинутый софт для расчётов. Однако, крутость софта компенсируется тупизной разработчиков - старых высококлассных разработчиков начали заменять на серую массу с придвинутым софтом. В результате скорость разработки замедлилась. Отдельная хохма - это модернизация старых разработок в той же авиации, когда модернизация с использованием новейшего мега-софта по стоимости и срокам разработки оказывается в несколько раз дороже и дольше, чем разработка с нуля в 60-е годы, а исходные ТТХ при этом особо не улучшаются, иногда даже ухудшаются. Все потому, что высококлассных специалистов заменили обезьяны с крутым софтом.
Nella mia mercedes c 200 del 1995, a benzina, si dovrebbe sostituire la prima parte del tubo di scarico, con il catalizzatore. Mi è stato comunicato che il ricambio costerebbe intorno a 1.300 Euro e a mio avviso è veramente esagerato. La mia macchina ad oggi ha percorso 133.000 Km, ed anche che sono trascorsi 22 anni ritengo che il tipo di guasto non dovrebbe essere suscettibile all'età dell'auto. In ogni caso sono molto ma molto soddisfatto della mia Mercedes che non cambierei con nessuna altra auto. Un saluto da Palermo.
4:34 ssangyong used this engine (chairman, musso, korando) So… W124 - W140 is legend W 124 long & high performance klasse -> S klasse W 124 korean’s high-sedan(F Sigment) -> SSangyong Chairman But chairman’s icelink brake test is grratest than w140…

I have a w126 my favorite car, until i got a w140 , I have both now
24 years on and my w140 is still the finest car on the road. It really is the ultimate car.
great yes but ls400/430 better build reliability quality equipment etc

Great car but for quality of build and reliability beaten by LS 400/430
realibility maybe yes but the quality of w140 Is unbeatable!
W140 will always have a special place in my heart. My father used to drive one of these and I swear it was the most comfortable car ever.
There's only one thing that I do when I see the w140 ..respect to the owner .
Машина созданной душой,этот автомобиль до сих пор стилен многих современных машин!!!Жаль что этого уже никогда не будет!
This happened when engineers were decision makers, not accountants...
I own W124, C124, W210 and W211. But I'm really into W140, wish to get one decent W140 in the near future.....
Amazing car, thank you Mercedes
Advanced to his time. Many technologies that the W140 applied, are now owned by popular segment cars. Long live the W140. For me, the best Mercedes of all time.
One of the greatest saloon cars ever... I had a 400se and it was wonderful to drive
Neil Baylis true the 400se or S420 is the most reliable w140 ever. The king of the road is 500sel/s500. The Best Mercedes of all times is 600sel/s600.

W140 THE LAST TRULY S-KLASSE..
Был когда то S500 w140 кузове. До сих пор машину вспоминает вся семья как, до, и после ...
This Mercedes is my favorite car ever .
The day I'll buy my first car, the Mercedes W 140 will be the one I'll choose.

the best or nothing . w140 is the best car built
W126 and w140 are the pinnacle of automotive over kill. I own a w126 now, and it makes me smile every time i think of it.
Создания легенды!

W126 and W140 is the best S-classe ever! ❤
Езжу на данной модели, очень хорошая машина! Лучше мерседеса w201;w124;w126;w140 еще машин не придумали, это факт!!!
платиновое время машиностроения!!!
W 209 неплохая машина. 230 ехала свободно при обьеме 1.8. Экономная до нельзя.
A beautiful video clip and a beautiful Mercedes car
how people can live without Mercedes
The Mercedes-Benz W140 is a flagship vehicle
I owned a 1993 400SEL S Class...Should have never sold it...The best car.
The last real Mercedes and one of the best car ever...
В то время делали качество а сейчас маркетинг
I love you Mercedes Benz W 140
I Love You W140!
140 сороковой, это машина достойна самого наилучшего , просто у меня нет слов
I was convinced as a kid that the opening shot of the silver car on carpet was a scale model! I remember the presence these cars had, I still see a '92 600 SEL driven locally which is still in pristine condition
W140 İS THE BEST CAR EVER BUİLT BY MERCEDES NO DOUPT.
they never make cars like this ..
+alperrrrrrrrr the best car built by any manufacturer of XX century, for sure
+1000 agree. What do you prefer this or S coupe version?
+94306v8
I always love coupe mercedes but ıf ı have 2 choose 4 door sedan thats absolutely w140
My grandfather had this car, a 1994 Mercedes Benz W140 S600, the only one that is the best in indonesia. But it's a shame, I'm not allowed to drive that cool car. 😞
There is nothing that can stand up to my S600 v12 sedan so tired of being challenged at red lights...
the best car of the world..never ever repated
The true last best S Class from Mercedes Benz
A giant that was taught to dance on its tiptoe
I have now first edition 300-24sel 1991 dark grey with black interior. Full options for dayli Used my dream car
как же далеки мы были в те годы от Европы.да и сейчас тоже

I miss my 1997 S500. The M119 engine was the best. Thanks for posting this awesome video!
уф подвеска просто огонь!
Vive la w140 et vive le m120 , je kiff trop cette voiture , je me lasse pas de la conduire un regale
Best Mercedes!
16:40 Apparently ADS was planned to have spheres front and rear, but it ended up having only the rear ones.
The best ever made car w140 s class and w124 E class.The best or nothing, Mercedes Benz
Таких машин больше не сделают
машина с душой
The 600 sel is going to be perfect after 1000 of years im sure.
When the engineers designed the new S series W140 , they all brainstormed into how to make the S series better than it*s predecesors, they added airbags, a more comfortable ride, when you are inside the cabin you don*t feel or hear a thing, more safety, a telescopic, adjustable steering wheel, when you went 8n reverse 2 look a like antennas would go up to show the owner/driver how close he /she was, from the curve or the next car, you could select which engine suited better a diesel, V8,V12.
I remember going to work for 16 or 17 hours straight that kept me going was the ride home... my w140 ( 400 SEL)🤦♂️

Самый лучший S class.
I read this model cost over a billion dollars to develop!
True story! The US government had a $4B budget to develop the F-117 Stealth Fighter. Mercedes had half that developing this model. I wouldn't trade my '94 420 for the fighter!
Ohhh this car is so good and nice.
my W140 600 SEL exactly the same as the car with the pretty lady in it still its running as its brand new from the factory 🥰
No other car defines the words « Mercedes-Benz engineering » better than the baureihe-140 S-Klasse.
Я хочу продолжать пройзводить w140 s180 w124 они настоящие автомобильи
S 320 is my best I love it.
How long you had this car for and how many gaskets you've replaced so far?
the greatest s class ever existed and will be
The biggest mistake that Mercedes-Benz made, heavy power, high power, very strong safety, a modified body, you will not and will not make the same .. thanks german for this w140 👍👍👍
Best car ever.

Sergey Popov Лучший автомобиль всех времен и народов!!!
Они в 1988-1990 уже делали расчеты нагрузок и деформаций конструкции при лобовом ударе софтом! Я поражен.
А американцы при проектировании истребителей (а это на два порядка сложнее автомобиля) уже в середине-конце 60-х активно использовали продвинутый софт для расчётов. Однако, крутость софта компенсируется тупизной разработчиков - старых высококлассных разработчиков начали заменять на серую массу с придвинутым софтом. В результате скорость разработки замедлилась.
