1978 Mercedes-Benz 450 SE W116 (Automatic / 3 Gears) RWD [1972-1980]

Mercedes-Benz 450 SE updated in April 1978 brought a slight increase in performance for the legendary V8 M117 engine . This latest version of the W116 series uses the Bosch K-Jetronic injection system to produce 224 PS / 221 hp / 165 kW and a torque of 368 Nm , making it one of the most powerful and fastest timed limousines in Europe. Equipped with a 3-speed automatic gearbox , this vehicle offers a very smooth transfer of force, suitable for its royal character. As a worthy successor to the S-Class philosophy, this model combines advanced passive safety with a top speed of 210 km/h , remaining an indelible German luxury standard until the end of production of the W116 series in 1980.
