About Mercedes-Benz 300SEL
The Mercedes-Benz 300SEL was one of the full-size luxury car models from the Mercedes-Benz S series. The 4-door sedan had a front-engine rear-wheel-drive layout. The model was also known as the W109. The design parts and accessories for the Mercedes-Benz 300SEL were made more luxurious with burled walnut dashboards, powered windows, automatic transmission, and optional parts like an air conditioning system. The vehicle also used self-leveling air suspension.
The Mercedes-Benz 300SEL was given a 3.0L M189 straight-line 6-cylinder engine. With the help of other engine parts like a Bosch mechanical fuel-injection system, engine speed, driving conditions, atmospheric pressure, and water pressure, the powertrain was able to produce an output that reached 168 bhp at 5400 rpm. This power allowed the 300SEL to accelerate to 100 km/h in 12 seconds. The top speed that the vehicle could reach was 200 km/h or 195 km/h if an automatic transmission was given.
