![1993 Mercedes-Benz 400 SE W140 (Automatic / 4 Gears) RWD [1991-1994]](https://i0.wp.com/i0.wp.com/autogalactic.al/wp-content/uploads/2026/01/abc-9490761cad2ba834a8f2377d8ac9ac181e6133f1-1.webp?fit=600%2C338&ssl=1&resize=360,270)
The 1993 Mercedes-Benz 400 SE represents the entry into the world of V8 engines for the W140 (Phase-I) series, offering an excellent balance between high refinement and impressive performance. This model is powered by the 4.2-liter M119 engine, which is considered one of the best V8 engines Mercedes-Benz has ever produced, thanks to four-valve per cylinder technology and the Bosch LH-Jetronic injection system . With a power of 279 HP and a torque of 400 Nm , the 400 SE moves with an authoritative ease, offering that sense of “infinite willpower” that characterizes heavy German limousines. The double-glazed insulation and sparingly designed chassis make this vehicle a driving castle where high speeds on the highway feel almost like standing still.
