Comments of this past auction
Technik: Infolge der Ölkrise konzentrierte man sich bei der Entwicklung der neuen S-Klasse parallel zum sicherheitstechnisch Bestmöglichen auch auf ökonomische Kriterien wie etwa die Senkung des Fahrzeuggewichts, und dadurch auf die Verbesserung des fahrzeugspezifischen Verbrauchs im Vergleich zur Vorgängerbaureihe. Durch eine strömungsgünstige Form mit einem CW-Wert von 0,36 statt 0,41 sowie leichtere Bauweise konnte der Verbrauch der Baureihe 126 gegenüber ihrem Vorgängermodell W 116 um über 10 % gesenkt werden. Durch weitere Maßnahmen im Rahmen des „Mercedes-Benz Energiekonzepts“ im Jahre 1981 sank der Verbrauch weiter; der 500 SE verbrauchte bis zu 30 % weniger als der Vorgänger 450 SE der Baureihe 116.
