1978 Mercedes-Benz 280 S W116 (Manuals / 4 Gears) RWD [1972-1980]

The 1978 Mercedes-Benz 280 S represented the basic model of the prestigious S-Class W116 series in Europe, offering a combination of high engineering with the simplicity of the carburetor. This vehicle is powered by the M110 engine, a 2.8-liter (2746 cm3) DOHC unit (with two bump axles) equipped with a complicated Solex 4A1 carburetor . It produces 156 PS / 154 hp / 115 kW at 5500 engine rpm and a torque of 223 Nm . Although it was the original line-up model, the 280 S offered the same build quality and safety as the V8 models, including double wishbone front suspension and Paul Bracq’s iconic design. Equipped with 4-speed manual gearboxes, this sedan reaches a top speed of 190 km/h and accelerates from 0-100 km/h in 11.5 seconds .
