Overview

1963 Mercedes-Benz 220 Sb W111 (Automatic / 4 Gears) RWD [1959-1968]

The Mercedes-Benz 220 Sb of August 1963 with automatic transmission represented one of the most refined limousines of the “Heckflosse” (Fintail) series, combining the 6-cylinder engine with the high comfort of non-stress transmission. This vehicle is powered by the M180 engine, a 2195 cm3 Gasoline engine with 6 cylinders in line and the Zenith 35/40 INAT 2 carburetor system, which produces 110 hp / 109 hp/ 81 kW in 5000 rpm and a 172 Nm torque in 3500 rpm. Daimler-Benz’s 4-speed automatic transmission allows for extremely smooth driving, achieving a top speed of 160 km/h and a 0-100 km/h acceleration in 13.6 seconds . With a length of 4875 mm and high safety standards for the time, the 220 Sb automatic remains a symbol of German engineering elegance of the 60s.

Summary

The Mercedes-Benz 220 Sb (W111) with automatic transmission is designed to offer a maximum level of comfort, making it an ideal vehicle for long and prestigious journeys. The Zenith ANGER carburetors offer a more stable performance compared to previous versions, although the 4-speed automatic gearbox requires more power from the engine, which is reflected in a higher fuel consumption. The chassis is known for its famous shock absorption zones, while the rich wood and leather interior creates an atmosphere that only a true S-Class can offer. This model is especially appreciated for its cabin composure and stability on the road, remaining one of the most desirable classic limousines for those who appreciate Mercedes-Benz's uncompromising engineering.
