1991 Mercedes-Benz 300 SEL V126 (Manuals / 5 Gears) RWD [1985-1992]

Summary

Experts rate the 300 SEL with manual gearbox as a tool that provides a more organic connection between the driver and the road, making the limo feel lighter and more dynamic than the automatic version. According to ProfessCars™ estimates, the performance is impressive with a top speed of 218 km/h and a 0-100 km/h acceleration of 8.9 seconds, figures that make it faster than its automatic brother. The average consumption of 11.8 L/100km demonstrates the advantage of the 5-speed gearbox in saving fuel during long journeys. The starting price in 1989 for this manual SEL model was around 70,600 Deutsche Mark (approx. €36,500). Today, this variant is considered a rare find, ideal for those who appreciate classical engineering combined with a pure mechanical feel.
