Questions and Comments
Technik: Die Baureihe 126 der Mercedes-Benz S-Klasse wurde über zwölf Jahre lang produziert, im Automobilbereich bei Großserienfahrzeugen ein ungewöhnlich langer Modellzyklus. Während dieser Produktionszeit wurde die Baureihe stets weiterentwickelt und verbessert. Daher spricht man bei Fahrzeugen, die bis August 1985 produziert wurden, von der ersten, und bei Fahrzeugen, die danach gebaut wurden, von der zweiten Serie, die im September 1985 auf der IAA in Frankfurt präsentiert wurde. Im Jahre 1985 erfuhr die Baureihe eine größere Modellpflegemaßnahme. Dabei wurde das Exterieur-Design behutsam modifiziert, neben geänderten Stoßfängern, Seitenbeplankungen und Leichtmetallrädern (oder Radzierkappen) gab es neu entwickelte Motoren. Ebenfalls im September endeten jeweils die sogenannten Modelljahre. So zählen Modelle, die bis September produziert wurden zum damals aktuellen, die nach September produzierten zum darauf folgenden Modelljahr. Bis auf eine geringe Anzahl von Fahrzeugen aus Südafrika wurden alle W 126 in Sindelfingen gefertigt. LG Tom
