Overview

1964 Mercedes-Benz 300 SE W112 (Manuals / 4 Gears) RWD (1961-1965)

The 1964 Mercedes-Benz 300 SE was the technological flagship of the Heckflosse limousine, offering an engineering level that set it well above similar W111 models. This vehicle is powered by the M189 engine, a 2996 cm3 Gasoline engine with aluminum block and mechanical injection Bosch, which produces 170 hp / 168 HP / 125 kW at 5400 rpm and a 249 Nm torque at 4000 rpm. Equipped with a 4-speed manual gearbox , this luxury sedan reaches a top speed of 190 km/h and accelerates from 0-100 km/h in 9.3 seconds . The main feature of the W112 was the pneumatic (airborne) suspension and the limited-slip differential, which along with the disc brakes on all four wheels, made this car the most sophisticated limousine in the world for the time.

Summary

Experts classify the 300 SE as the "true S-Class" of the 1960s, highly praising the M189 aluminum engine and advanced pneumatic suspension that offers a ride quality unmatched by rivals of the time. Although performance and comfort are unmatched, the complexity of the air system and the high cost of specific engine parts make this model a major financial challenge to maintain in perfect condition.
