The Mercedes-Benz E-Class sports cars sedan represents the class of high-end home German Mercedes-Benz.
European market in 1996 is still the standard for today's Mercedes sports cars sedan, station wagon version also available. It reached its third generation, fourth if you count the latest Mercedes-Benz W124 produced between 1993 and 1996, which had already adapted to the new name.
This series was produced from 1984 to 1996, but as I said only recently been adapted to the new naming system. Are therefore considered to belong to the class and the W124 produced between 1993 and 1996.
The birth and the first series
In the early '80s, the W123 was beginning to feel the weight of age, below the technical and stylistic than under the purely commercial. Sales, in fact, is maintained at good levels thanks to the comfort, reliability and wide range of petrol or diesel engines offer.
Mercedes-Benz decided, however, to intervene and to design a new car, able to collect a worthy legacy of W123 as a template intermediate (between the smaller 190 and the flagship S-Series) of the range. From the stylistic point of view, Bruno Sacco (Head of Mercedes design), points on modern lines introduced in 1982 with the 190, while technically the most important news related to the suspension (rear multi-link, ie independent wheels with 5 anchor points to the body, and front overlapping triangles) and steering (like a ball, with servocamando variable ratio). Although the platform was redesigned from scratch, the W124 maintains the approach typical of all Mercedes: Longitudinal front engine, rear wheel drive and disc brakes on all wheels, but by the integrated ABS system offered as standard across the range. At the time of the debut there were, however, for new engines and manual transmissions.
The range includes versions with petrol engines, 200 (4-cylinder in-line SOHC, fuel carburetor, 1997cc, 109cv), 200E (with the same engine of the 200, but fuel injection from 122CV), 230E (with the same engine of the 200E but with displacement increased to 2299cc and power of 136cv), 260E (6-cylinder in-line SOHC, fuel injected, 2599cc, 160cv), 300E (with the same engine of the 260E, but with displacement increased to 2962cc and power of 186cv) and 200D diesel (4 cylinder in-line SOHC, 1997cc, 72cv), 250D (5-cylinder in-line SOHC, 2497cc, 90CV) and 300 D (6-cylinder in-line, 2996cc, 109cv). Latter was the only engine available again. With great disappointment of customers about a 4-cylinder versions, petrol and diesel, was only 4-speed manual gearbox (the 5th gear had to be paid separately). Alternatively there was a new 4-speed automatic gearbox operated by electronics.
