1993 Mercedes-Benz 190E (type W201) 2.6 Limited Edition with Sportline option. 1 of 700 made for Mercedes-Benz North America.


More than 1.8 million W201 models were manufactured by Mercedes-Benz. 1993 was the last year of the W201 chassis. A total of 1,400 "Limited Edition" 190E models were made available through Mercedes-Benz North America. These models were not available outside North America. There were 700 190E 2.3 models finished in emerald green and 700 190E 2.6 models finished in black. The 2.6 Limited Edition is different from the standard 190E in the following ways:

--lowered suspension and stiffer springs similar to the 190E 2.3 16v suspension
--15"x7" 8-hole wheels
--quicker steering ratio
--faux carbon fiber trim on dash and center console
--Recaro 2-tone leather seats (black with red piping and inserts)
--Sportline badges on quarter panels and shift knob
--black and red door cards

700 of these cars were offered for sale 20 years ago. Not many are left on the road today. This is the top of the line model for the 190E 2.6 and with its smooth running inline 6, this car is a truly magnificent touring sedan.

This car is in remarkable condition. Build date is January 1993. All body panels and paint are original. There is no accident damage. Borderline concours condition with a little work. The following caveats should be noted:

--original airbag steering wheel has been removed and replaced with an aftermarket Momo wheel. I do not have the original airbag wheel.
--wheels are straight and true but I painted them black. It is not a professional job.
--leather seats have separated at the seams at the rear seat back top. 
--door panel trim is starting to pull away from around the inside latch trim on the passenger side.
--gauge cluster was replaced and odometer shows 80,000 + miles. Actual mileage is about 190,000.
--small 1/2" rock chip in front windscreen that is out of the driver's direct line of sight.
--stock headlights and front corners have been replaced with aftermarket "European style" lights (Depo). Car no longer has headlamp washer system.
--new brake pads will be installed prior to sale. I will smog the car for CA buyers.

Car has always been serviced by MB techs. AC has been converted to R134. Everything on the car works as it should. It is a toy not a daily driver. Nevertheless I have taken it on at least three 1,000+ mile road trips in the last 2 years and it is flawless on the highway. The only reason I am selling is to fund another acquisition. I have limited garage space so I have to make room.

Brabus 800 Roadster is a power-mad aristocrat

Wed, 06 Mar 2013

If we're being completely honest, we haven't exactly been in love with the aesthetics of the sixth-generation Mercedes-Benz SL-Class. It's mostly a front-end issue, with its glowering eagle-eye headlamps and upright, dinner-plate-sized Three-Pointed Star coming across to us as overwrought. That's particularly troublesome for a roadster whose history has of the most elegant designs of all time in its back catalog. Somehow, the new R231 generation's brash visuals seem more at home on this Brabus 800 Roadster to us.
That's probably because the high-dollar German tuner has turned up the wick on the SL's visuals even further, with carbon fiber bodywork, a more aggressive aero kit, matte hood scoop and complex two-finish wheels. It's all-the-way committed to its brashness, in other words - and justifiably so. Anything with 800 horsepower and 1,047 pound-feet of torque has earned the right to look however it wants, right?
Brabus started with the SL65 and its not-exactly-underpowered 6.0-liter twin-turbo V12, and went to town, fitting their own turbocharger and intercooler system, along with a less-restrictive exhaust system with driver-selectable sound levels and new engine electronics. The result is a 3.7-second 0-62 mph time, an electronically limited top whack of 217 mph... and one seriously compromised toupée.

Mercedes-Maybach GLS could become the most expensive car made in America

Mon, Mar 18 2019

Mercedes-Benz International, the German automaker's manufacturing facility near Vance and Tuscaloosa, Ala., already builds the GLS SUV. Autonews reports that the coming ultra-luxe version of the large crossover, the Mercedes-Maybach GLS, will be built in Alabama as well for global markets. The most recent timelines mark the reveal in production or near-production form in China, with sales to commence next year. The next-gen series-production GLS goes on sale later this year. The gilded sub-brand previewed a wild concept last year in China called the Vision Mercedes-Maybach Ultimate Luxury, which blended the tall profile of an SUV with the truck of a sedan on donk wheels. Based on spy shots, none of that fancy will make it to production. Both the Maybach and AMG versions of the GLS ride on fat rubber but look thoroughly traditional. The treasure will be inside. Autonews said China accounts for roughly 75 percent of Maybach S-Class sedan sales. That suggests the GLS in baroque trim will emphasize chauffeured luxury touches like rear captain's chairs and lots of rear legroom. Pricing estimates figure $200,000 to get in the door. That would put the SUV right in line with the Lamborghini Urus and a couple stacks of Benjamins above the Bentley Bentayga, with much the same likely audience. One analyst said, "The ultra-high-net-worth kids want something different, and these ultraluxury SUVs certainly fit that," while another opined on its "appeal to the Kardashians and hip-hoppers, if they want something slightly different to the G-Wagen." A $200K MSRP would also comfortably make the Maybach GLS the most expensive new car built in America, taking the title from the Acura NSX. With a great price comes great power, said to be a twin-turbo V8 with more than 560 horsepower. The coming GLS 450 will make do with somewhere around 360 hp. The Alabama plant, which also builds the GLE, GLE Coupe, and C-Class, is also undergoing a $1 billion upgrade to more than double the size of the facility, making lines for battery production and EQ-series vehicle assembly,

France formally moves to ban Mercedes vehicles using contested refrigerant

Wed, 31 Jul 2013

That didn't take long. Shortly after a French administrative court gave the French government a ten-day window to reconsider its ban on registrations of Mercedes-Benz A-, B- and CLA-Class cars using the prohibited R134a refrigerant, the government cited an EU directive to formalize banning the sale of the cars. The country's environmental ministry said that registrations "will remain forbidden in France as long as the company does not to conform to European regulations," meaning so long as they do not use the approved R1234yf refrigerant.
Daimler had won the administrative court decision by challenging France's application of a "safeguard" provision in which the EU allows a country to block sales of cars that would "seriously harm the environment." In spite of Daimler's victory, France has cited that very provision as basis for the continuation of the ban.
Daimler got permission from Germany's KBA federal motor authority to keep selling cars with the coolant banned by EU politicians, and is using that national permission as the right to sell the cars throughout Europe. Meanwhile, above that battle, German politicians are asking the EU to let Mercedes sell the cars in France while the KBA does more testing, at the same time as the EU is threatening Germany with repercussions if it doesn't bring the KBA and Daimler into line.
