The 1993 Mercedes-Benz S 350 Turbodiesel marked a milestone for the European market, becoming the first S-Class diesel model officially offered on the continent after success in the US. This W140 (Phase-I) variant was designed for customers seeking royal luxury and unrivaled Cathedral space, but with a lower operating cost and impressive autonomy. The 3.5-liter OM603 turbocharged engine offers a traction force (torque) of 310 Nm at low torques, making the movement of this massive 1.9-tonne craft quite smooth and comfortable. With legendary acoustic insulation and double glazing, the S 350 Turbodiesel offers a driving experience where engine noise lingers outside the cabin, positioning itself as the ideal vehicle for those who travel long distances with first-class comfort.
