Comments of this past auction
Wir haben noch einmal ein kurzes Video zu diesem 600er SEL hochgeladen, was verdeutlicht, wie viel Auto man hier bekommt. Herr von der Recke hat zudem einen unschlagbaren Mindestpreis herausgehandelt, was das Mitbieten noch einmal attraktiver macht. Sie werden wahrscheinlich wenig Autos zu diesem Preis und in diesem Zustand finden. Mit freundlichen Grüßen - Ihr Kickdown Team.
Technik: 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. LG Tom
