Comments of this past auction
Technik: Das Fahrwerkssystem ADS (Adaptives Dämpfungssystem) wurde erstmals bei einem Mercedes als Option angeboten. Es war eine teil-hydraulische elektronische Federung der Radaufhängung mit Niveauregulierung sowohl für die Vorder- als auch für die Hinterachse. Die optimale Dämpfung wurde pro Rad anhand von Parametern von Radbeschleunigungssensoren sowie von Längs- und Querbeschleunigungssensoren des Fahrzeugs ständig elektronisch berechnet und in vier Stufen angepasst. Zudem wurde das Fahrzeug bei Geschwindigkeiten ab 120 km/h um 20 mm tiefergelegt, und die Bodenfreiheit konnte bei Geschwindigkeiten unter 40 km/h per Knopfdruck um 40 mm erhöht werden.
