1982 Mercedes-Benz 280 SE W126 (Manuals / 5 Gears) RWD [1979-1985]

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.

Summary

Experts rate the 5-speed version of the 280 SE as the most refined version for drivers who prefer manual control, offering lower consumption than the 4-speed or automatic version. According to ProfessCars™ estimates, the vehicle reaches a top speed of 210 km/h and accelerates 0-100 km/h in 9.2 seconds. Measured consumption (combined 11.8 L/100km) attests to the increased efficiency from fifth gear on long journeys. The starting price in 1981 for this model with the option of 5 gears was around 39,400 Deutsche Mark (approx. €20,150). Today, this model remains highly sought after due to the durability of the M110 engine and the mechanical feel it offers.
