The Mercedes-Benz W140 series was produced from 1991 to 1998 as the brand's flagship model. It was available as a sedan with a short and long wheelbase and as a coupe. It celebrated its premiere in 1991 at the Geneva Motor Show. From 1993, the model designation was changed to "S," and in 1996, the coupé was given the name "CL-Class." A total of over 430,000 vehicles were built. Production ended in 1998 with the introduction of the W220 and C215 series.

    Technik: Auf dem wichtigen US-Markt hatte 1989 Toyota die neue Nobel-Marke Lexus mit der Oberklassen-Limousine LS 400 vorgestellt. Als Antwort auf deren Qualität und Vollausstattung bei günstigerem Preis sah sich Daimler-Benz gezwungen, kurz vor dem Serienstart im Jahr 1991 noch Verbesserungen vorzunehmen, um die Marktpositionierung des W 140 zu festigen. Das führte zu einer Kostenüberschreitung und der Daimler-Benz-Chefentwickler Wolfgang Peter wurde entlassen. Der W 140 markiert mit Vernetzung der Steuergeräte per CAN-Bus und Doppelverglasung einen Technologiesprung bei Mercedes-Benz. Aber auch mit den deutlich gewachsenen Außenabmessungen sollte der Führungsanspruch von Mercedes-Benz innerhalb der Oberklasse deutlich gemacht werden. Durch die Ergänzung des Motorenangebots durch das große V12-Aggregat reagierte man auf den Wettbewerber BMW, der 1987 den E32 750i mit einem Zwölfzylindermotor auf den Markt gebracht hatte. Das Kofferraumvolumen liegt bei 525 l (Limousine) respektive 505 l (Coupé). Der cw-Wert konnte gegenüber dem Vorgänger um über 16 Prozent verringert werden, die mit in den Luftwiderstand einfließende Stirnfläche stieg jedoch von 2,13 m² auf 2,39 m² bei der Limousine. So ergeben sich eine für den Luftwiderstand wirksame Querschnittsfläche (cw × A) zu 0,30 × 2,39 m² bei der Limousine und 0,29 × 2,33 m² beim Coupé. Der W 140 verfügt über eine Kugelumlauflenkung mit Parameterfunktion. Die Fußbremse ist eine hydraulische Zweikreis-Bremsanlage mit Unterdruck-Bremskraftverstärker und innenbelüfteten Scheibenbremsen vorne und hinten; die Feststellbremse ist fußbetätigt und wirkt mechanisch auf die Hinterräder. Eines war noch sehr markant: Beim Einlegen des Rückwärtsganges fuhren links und rechts am Heck zwei Stäbe aus um die Sicht über den abfallenden Heckdeckel zu erleichtern!! LG Tom
