The Mercedes-Benz W116 is a series of flagship vehicles produced from September 1972 until 1979. The W116 automobiles were the first Mercedes-Benz models to be officially called S-Class. In a poll conducted by Britain's Classic & Sports Car magazine and printed in their April 1999 edition, the Mercedes-Benz 450 SEL ranked fourth on their list of the "world's greatest saloons."
This example is Silver with Navy Blue Leather interior, woodgrain dash accents, chrome trim, M117 engine (V8 with 4,520 cc displacement), power antenna, and lots of rare high-end options including integrated fog lights on the front bumper, original color-matched mercedes-benz logo hubcaps, alpine stereo w/ cassette deck, and a power sun roof with polarized windscreen. Very LOW miles for a 1976 - 90,436 miles. This car was babied by both owners, smoke-free and kept in heated garages. Car was purchased new by an executive at the Ohio Art Company (Makers of the Etch-a-Sketch toy). The current owner was a friend of the original owner and purchased the car in the late 70s. This car has tons of power, luxury and room! The 450SE sedans were widely considered one of the best cars for the money in their day, with a 190-hp fuel-injected, 4.5-liter SOHC V8, three-speed automatic transmission, independent suspension and disc brakes all round, and standard air conditioning. The SEL stretched the wheelbase four inches for back seat passengers. Condition: As you can see from the photos, this car is in very good condition considering its age. The engine starts up on command and purrs! It still has loads of power and can make it up to 100mph without trying with an exceedingly quiet passenger compartment. The dash and rear deck are in excellent condition. The rubber is in good condition. Tires in good condition. It has had a recent oil/filters/fluids change/check within the last week. The local Mercedes dealership believes it is one of the best examples in the area. That said, it has indicators of use. There are a couple of small scuff marks on the rear of the front seats (see photos). The rear seat needs a replacement rubberized horsehair (original) cushion (or a cheaper foam one is also available after market). There are wear marks on the carpet in the driver's compartment. The rubber pad on the brake pedal needs to be replaced. The radio works but the cassette deck needs to be serviced (dealership said that it only requires minor repair). The windscreen was recently replaced and the company that did it damaged the chrome trim around the front window (see photos). We are including the original window trim pieces as well as the quote and parts list from the Mercedes dealership. Additionally with this sale are included two (2) extra chrome Mercedes Logo hubcaps and a chrome Mercedes hood ornament. This car is perfect for the right owner. It is in near perfect shape but still needs a little love and a little work to get there. Wouldn't be selling it if we had the choice. This is your opportunity to own a true stylish classic. We have a very LOW Reserve on this car. Terms: $1000.00 within 24 hrs of end of auction from the winning bidder and cash or Paypal within 7 days. Pick-up or transport plans must be made within 7 days of end of auction. Cost of taxes, transfer fees, and transportation is the responsibility of the winning bidder. Thank you for your interest. |

Test drive the Mercedes SLS AMG Electric Drive with Chris Harris
Thu, 11 Apr 2013It's hard to not like the Mercedes-Benz SLS AMG GT. The all-aluminum coupe is fitted with a wonderful naturally aspirated 6.2-liter V8 delivering 583 horsepower and 479 pound-feet of torque. Not only does the burly combustion engine launch the two-seater to 60 miles per hour in less than four seconds, but it does so with one of the world's greatest exhaust soundtracks as it roars, burbles and cackles down the road.
But what happens when Mercedes-Benz takes away the V8 and its accompanying fire-burning song? Stripped of one of its most appealing assets, does the SLS lose its soul?
Chris Harris recently had the opportunity to take the Mercedes-Benz SLS AMG Electric Drive for a track spin in Europe. Sans gasoline, but with four electric motors providing a combined 740 horsepower (737 pound-feet of torque), all-electric all-wheel drive coupe uses sophisticated torque vectoring and a multi-mode operating system to put oversteer - drifting! - back into the equation. Fun? You bet. See for yourself, below.
Brabus rockets the Mercedes S65 to 900 horsepower
Wed, Mar 4 2015Some people you just can't please. They take a look at a vehicle with 621 horsepower and 738 pound-feet of torque on tap – one of the most powerful cars money can buy – and say that's still not enough. Fortunately there are companies like Brabus that cater to just such individuals. The Mercedes tuner extraordinaire brought the Rocket 900 to the Geneva Motor Show this year. It's based on the S65 AMG – yeah, the one with the twin-turbo V12 – but takes it a step or ten further. For starters, Brabus has bored the engine out to 6.3 liters and hooked up new turbochargers, exhaust, intake and more – cranking output up to 887 hp and a mind-bending 1,106 lb-ft of torque. Of course it didn't stop there, revising everything from the limited slip differential and air suspension to aero kit and interior. The result? Try 0-62 in 3.7 seconds, a 217-mile-per-hour top speed and a price tag approaching $400,000.

2015 Spanish F1 Grand Prix makes its Deutsche mark
Mon, May 11 2015The first race of the European Formula One season inaugurates the second phase of the Championship. Teams overhaul their cars with the big updates they've been working on since Australia, and at the end of The Battle of Spain we find out how the positions on the field have changed. Mercedes-AMG Petronas driver Nico Rosberg brought a big update to his psychology, straight-up beating teammate Lewis Hamilton to take his first pole position of the season. Mercedes owns the front row and Ferrari maintains its status as primary challenger, Sebastian Vettel lining up in third. Williams proved it's been hitting the books to do better in class, though, Valtteri Bottas slotting into fourth. And Toro Rosso's visit to a track that rewards strong aero rewarded them with the best team grid position since the Italian Grand Prix in 2008: Carlos Sainz secured fifth, ahead of Max Verstappen in sixth. Kimi Raikkonen's bout of Saturday woes – it seems the Finn is always handicapped by lots of tiny issues – continued in Barcelona with one of his sets of prime tires getting cooked by malfunctioning tire warmers. He recovered well enough to take seventh on the grid, but he's got some strong competition ahead of him. He led three other drivers in the Continuous Issues department, Daniil Kvyat unable to wrestle his Infiniti Red Bull Racing higher than eighth, Williams driver Felipe Massa getting it wrong in Turn 3 to fall five places behind his teammate Bottas, and Daniel Ricciardo in the second Red Bull enduring another engine change and sloppy car behavior to get tenth. And while it turned out to be a steady race a little rough around the edges, the positions on the battlefield just might have changed. A little. Of the 66 laps in the race we might have seen Rosberg for three of them – maybe. The German got a smashing start, had a clear lead into Turn 1, and after that we checked in occasionally during his two pit stops and again at the checkered flag. He owned the entire weekend the way we're used to seeing his teammate do, and the cameras left him alone to run his race. No one got within seven seconds of him during the first third, and as the pit stop strategies played out that cushion grew. He finished seventeen seconds ahead of Hamilton, and 45 seconds ahead of third-placed Vettel. Hamilton, on the back foot all three days, stumbled out of the gate.
