The 1982 Mercedes-Benz 280 S with automatic transmission is the model that combines the elegance of the W126 series with the high driving comfort. The 2.8-liter (M110) six-cylinder in-line engine and Solex 4A1 carburetor produces 156 hp , providing enough power for the weight of this limousine. The four-speed automatic transmission is designed for smooth report switching, highlighting the aristocratic nature of the first S-Class of the Bruno Sacco era. Thanks to improved aerodynamics with a coefficient of 0.37 , the car remains quite silent in the cabin, offering a travel experience that set the standards for the following decades in the luxury category.
