Book Description
Ever since their introduction in 1972, the S-Class saloons from Mercedes-Benz have been considered the pinnacle of automotive excellence. For most of that time, ownership of an S-Class - at least, of a reasonably recent one - has been symbolic of material success and of restrained yet impeccable good taste. Several other car makers have nibbled at the edges of the S-Class market, but none has produced a viable and lasting alternative to the big Benz. Mercedes-Benz S-Class 1972-2013 charts the evolution and success of the series, from the W116 model, the first to be designed from the ground up as a large luxury saloon, through to the C126 coupe, one of the all-time Mercedes-Benz classic designs.Topics covered include: development and production of the W126 saloons and classic W126 coupes; the W140 saloons in the 1990s; the 140 coupes, the W220 models and the elegant 215 coupes; the W221 models, introduced at the Frankfurt International Motor Show in 2005; the C216 coupes and the future of Mercedes-Benz S-Class. Superbly illustrated with 288 colour photographs.

Book Description
The Mercedes W116 was the first executive car that was called "S-Class". Wide, angular headlamps replaced the upright lamps of the older Benz models. In terms of driving comfort, prestige, safety equipment and quality, there was nothing comparable in 1972, at least not in the sum of all its components. At the top of the food chain was the 450SEL 6.9. But the 1970s oil crises did not exactly come at the right time for such cars; especially in the US, gas-guzzling V8 engines fell rapidly in popularity. The solution arrived in North American showrooms in 1978 with the first turbo diesel engine in a luxury sedan: the 300SD. This 210-page book tells the story of the W116. It walks you through the cars' history, explains chassis number and data card, lists the option codes and comes with a comprehensive buyer's guide. All this is accompanied by superb recent non-Daimler AG color photography. This guide is one of over twenty-five books and e-books about Mercedes cars, written by the author. And these are some of the topics covered: you will read about the complete development and history of the five-, six-, and eight-cylinder sedans, all upgrades included a comprehensive buyer's guide will help you to check the trouble spots chassis number and data card are explained in great detail most option codes are listed what is my W116 worth? Price development from Feb. 2011 to Feb. 2019 it compares the 450SE with the Cadillac Seville I Paint and upholstery options Technical specifications, including power&torque curves of all models from the 280S to the 450SEL 6.9 over 140 mostly recent non-Daimler AG color photos highlight many features of the various W116 models; this includes pictures of the suspension. This guide ends with a free book offer. Enjoy! Why is this book not available as hard cover? Even today with modern digital printing services available, books with many color photos are expensive to produce. This book comes with over 140 high quality photos, most of them in color, and would cost retail as hardcover version over US$ 75 (or the corresponding amount in £ or e), which the author finds excessive. That is why the choice to offer the more reasonable to produce soft cover option. Thank you for your understanding.
