The 1993 Mercedes-Benz S 280 with automatic transmission is the version that prioritizes comfort and effortless movement within the grand W140 series . Although it is the basic model, it retains all the prestige of the “Cathedral,” offering upper-level acoustic insulation and a chassis that “devours” any irregularities of the road. The 24-valve 2.8-liter M104 engine works in harmony with the 4-speed automatic gearbox, providing a smooth march to suit the aristocratic nature of this vehicle. With a massive 100-litre tank and double-glazing that prevents evaporation and noise, the S 280 automatic remains one of the most refined limousines for long journeys, offering true S-class luxury in a more accessible package.
