For some time I have described the phase Merca today. Do not know why it attracts me terribly ... universality. This is one of the reasons why I decided to write about him. Today will be reading a bit more, so I recommend to adopt a comfortable position and relax. W124 appeared on the market in 1985. After the success of the model W201 (colloquially the "Baby Benz") and his style line it was decided to design a successor in a similar manner a very successful model W123. Before the W124, however, became much more challenging than before his predecessor, he had successively not only help the brand line of stylistic change, but also broaden the audience and give them the greatest opportunity to personalize your car. The Germans, who then designed the cars were supposed to discharge their duties as well. Profits always played first violin, because you know that without that no company will survive. Nevertheless, once Mercedes was different than today, was ... Just a much more robust, can be proved by the fact that the reliability "barrels" (W123) has led this company to the brink of bankruptcy. Although it was necessary to increase the profits of the service, Mercedes does not decrease the quality of its products for the next 10 years. Throughout the production of W124 systematically introduced significant changes and improvements. Gradually introduced a new optional equipment, body styles and engines. In 1985 he stepped in to offer a practical sedan and station wagon, a year later joined the already well-known version of the W123 model for development, popular as an ambulance or a hearse, which featured such editions are created on the basis of E-class to this day. 1987 years saw (in my opinion the most beautiful) version of the Coupe.
In 1989 came to offer extended version, which has three doors, it was produced until 1994, the last variation, a new feature in this class was a convertible Mercedes, shown relatively late, it was only in 1991. range of available engines was enormous in those days could only compete with her palette of the BMW E34. In total, the whole production period was offered 21 units, of which 7 are diesels. The low point was a naturally aspirated diesel engine with a capacity of 2 liters, generating 75 hp. When weighing the order of 1,300 kg, the engine did not provide any dynamics, but he was frugal and truly immortal. The situation improved 2.5 units and 3.0, to ensure that the dynamics of near-optimal in the case of the former, as well as optimum for the second. Also available in supercharged. These engines have the capacity respectively - 4, 5 or 6 cylinders. All are equipped with an overhead camshaft.
But if someone did not want Klekot, the choice was still very wide range of petrol engines. This began with R4 units with a capacity of 2 liters and power similar to the most powerful naturally aspirated diesel engines. Range of inline fours closed unit with a capacity of 2.3 liters and power a little over 130 hp, and since 1993 it was 2.2 unit, 16-valve 150 bhp. R6 engines were available in versions with 12 or 24 valves to 1993, then after all had 24-valve, except for 2.6 was only available with a single shaft, which generate modest as the system capacity and 160 hp. Much better choice was the unit with a capacity of 3 liters and power 180 or 220 hp. In 1993 he took over the role of 2.6 2.8 with 24 valves with a capacity of close to 200 hp. Units 3-liter unit was replaced by 3.2 to 220 hp. The most demanding supporters R6 can order prepared by the AMG engine with a capacity of 3.4 (252 hp) or 3.6 (272 hp). More demanding and had to choose one of three V8 units, ranging from 4.2 to nearly 280 hp power of 5.0 ~ 320 hp (depending from v) and the 380-hp 6.0 ending. The wealthiest could afford to buy one version of the V12 engines over 500 hp each and a capacity of 7.2 or 7.3 liters. Both rozpędzały vehicles driven by up to 100 km / h in less than 5 seconds and were not limited muzzles in a surge of up to 250 km / h both allowed to cross the barrier 310 km / h. Weaker was prepared by Brabus, is stronger V12 Vath, which is so much rare to find even pictures that constitutes a kind of problem, and the prettiest come from ads.
