Mercedes presented the engine in 1997 and it was used in no fewer than 34 Mercedes models in various series up to 2007.

There was a Double wishbone front axle and Single-joint pendulum axle with hydropneumatic compensating springs and a leveling and Coil springs front and back. Specifically, the mechatronic chassis enjoys its own in-house Performance springs and from KW Automotive developed shock absorber.

And so that the power of the 5,5-liter V8 also gets onto the road, a built-in was made on the rear axle locking differential. And of course the load is slowed down again as appropriate. And by means of Mechatronic high-performance braking system with ABS (anti-lock braking system). Of course, the system is precisely matched to the engine power and the chassis. The system has on the front axle Two-piston with perforated and internally ventilated discs and there's one on the rear axle revised variant the standard braking system of the W111. The team has the brake calipers black lacquered, but they can be configured in any color of your choice.

ABS and ASR ensure safety

And due to the significantly higher engine and driving performance, there is also the aforementioned modern safety system ABS also ASR (Drive slip control) for use. So when you step on the gas pedal, the performance arrives on the road and the classic can also be constantly controlled and steered when braking. And there is always an upgrade to the front seats Three-point belts and Headrests, if not available in the vehicle.
