1970 Mercedes-Benz 300 SEL 3.5 W109 (Manuals / 4 Gears) RWD [1966-1972]

The 1970 Mercedes-Benz 300 SEL 3.5 marked a revolution in the W109 series with the introduction of the new V8 engine, which offered significantly higher performance than the 6-cylinder engines. This vehicle is powered by the M116 E35 engine, a 3499 cm3 Petrol unit with Bosch D-Jetronic electronic injection, which produces 200 hp / 197 hp/ 147 kW at 5800 rpm and a 286 Nm torque at 4000 rpm. Combining the long wheelbase (SEL) with a 4-speed manual gearbox was a rare and sporty choice for this class, allowing the limousine to reach a top speed of 210 km/h . Equipped with standard pneumatic suspension, this model offered the perfect balance between the power of a V8 and the royal comfort of the W109 chassis.
