The 1982 Mercedes-Benz 280 SE with 5-speed manual transmission represents one of the most efficient and dynamic combinations of the W126 series. This model uses the legendary M110 in-line six-cylinder engine and Bosch K-Jetronic injection, which produces 185 hp . The device with the Getrag 265 gearbox with 5 gears allows for a better distribution of power and significant reduction of engine rpm at high speeds thanks to the fifth “overdrive” gear. With an aerodynamic coefficient of 0.37 and advanced injection technology, this limousine offers an excellent balance between sporty performance and the royal comfort that characterizes the S-Class of the 80s.
