Mercedes-Benz W116 - From the 280S to the 450SEL 6.9 and Tuners
The W116 was the first Mercedes-Benz model to be officially called the S-Class, the start of a long line which continues to the present day. It offered a choice of smooth six and eight-cylinder engines, culminating in the hugely powerful 450 SEL 6.9, as well as a more economical turbodiesel for the North American market. Only available from the factory as a saloon - in standard and long-wheelbase versions - nearly half a million cars were built during its eight-year career.
This guide will help you learn about the differences between models, and what to look for when buying.
