History of the 1976-1985 Mercedes-Benz W123 By the admission of Mercedes-Benz,
the W123 platform was not revolutionary, but “rather a thoroughly mature
mid-range car combining the latest engineering with tried and tested design
features”. This sober summary reflects the lasting legacy of the W123 – a
solidly built automobile with timeless poise and class. Introduced in 1976, the W123 platform
included a four door sedan and sleek coupe. The W123 replaced the aging W114
and W115 platforms (also known as the “Stroke Eights”), which at the time were
the most successful Mercedes passenger cars to date. The incoming W123s were
styled after the new S-Class, which was a clear break with the classical style
of the Stroke Eight. The W123 offered a longer wheelbase, a wider track, and a
larger body. The 280C coupe was 85 mm shorter than the sedan, and was absent a
B-pillar, which lent the car a unique and sporty style. The coupe and sedans
were soon joined by the diesel-powered 300TD station wagon in 1978 – the first
Mercedes wagon. The cars were immensely popular and less than a year into
production many dealers had a 12-month waiting list. Cars for immediate
purchase were offered in a sort of black-market – at a healthy premium. The
station wagon, or “touring” as it was called by Mercedes, was on a backlog of three
years by the 1980s. This is a testament not only to the popularity of the
touring, but also Mercedes’ creation and then domination of the luxury or
“lifestyle” station wagon market. In the U.S., the W123 was available
in all three body styles, but due to stricter emissions regulations, a limited
range of engines. The naming convention was straightforward, with the first two
numbers representing displacement in liters and the letters representing body
style and fuel. No letters indicate a carbonated engine (i.e., the 230 carried
a 2.3-liter inline four available from 1977-78), D for Diesel, E for fuel
injection, T for touring or station wagon, and C for coupe. The 300D (3.0-liter
inline 5-cylinder diesel) was available with a turbocharger in 1981, and labeled
as such. Top of the range was the 280E and 280CE, both of which featured
2.8-liter, inline 4-cylinder, fuel injected engines capable of 142 hp. The W123 platform came equipped with
many optional and standard class-leading features. The car was better engineered
for crash protection – accomplished with a strengthened passenger cage and
reinforced roof. Optional was a safety steering column engineered to crumple
rather than enter the cabin in a head-on collision. From 1980 on, the W123
offered optional anti-lock brakes as well as an optional air bag after 1982.
The 1982 model year also marked a major facelift for the W123 – all models were
equipped with rectangular broadband headlights and power steering was offered
standard across the range. When the W123 went out of production
in 1986 it had surpassed the Stroke Eight as the bestselling Mercedes-Benz with
more than 2.5 million cars sold. Mercedes built the car to last, and many are
still on the road today. As a testament to the car’s longevity, it is popular
in Africa as a bush taxi, covering thousands of miles of rough roads with only
basic maintenance. The 3.0-liter inline 5 diesel in the 300D, while lacking in
power, is considered to be one of the most reliable engines ever built. The
timeless design is sure to last as long as the car itself, making this car a
classic that is here to stay.

Mercedes-AMG GT attacks Circuit of the Americas
Fri, 12 Sep 2014Mercedes-Benz is having a banner year with its Formula One team. Through 2014, the constructor has 454 championship points; ahead of its nearest competitor (Red Bull-Renault) by a margin of 182 tally marks. We're sure they can almost taste the champagne.
It's fitting then, and a little big cocky in a good way, that Mercedes has released a video of its newest sports car at an F1 venue. In this case, the car is the lovely Mercedes-AMG GT S, and the racetrack is Austin's Circuit of the Americas.
Having seen the official photo set and scratched the surface of the technical specifications earlier this week, we're excited to finally hear the thing run. As you might guess, the deployment of 503 horsepower and 479 pound-feet of torque from the twin-turbo V8 is a motivating experience. Crank up your volume, and hit that play button. (Oh, and Mercedes shot the thing in 4K, too, so those of you with expensive televisions/monitors should take heed to the settings.)
VW joins Daimler's protest of new A/C refrigerant as EU deadline for compliance passes
Sun, 06 Jan 2013The case of Dupont and Honeywell's refrigerant R-1234yf is doing the exact opposite of keeping things cool. The two chemical companies have spent years and hundreds of millions of dollars developing R-1234yf to replace R-134a, the new refrigerant shown to be 99.7-percent kinder to the environment than the one it is meant to succeed. Part of that development has been years of testing by governments, outside safety agencies and automakers to approve the chemical for use in cars. It passed the protocols necessary for the European Union to declare that new and significantly revised cars from 2013 onward needed to use R-1234yf, and mandated that every car as of 2017 must use it.
Enter Daimler AG. The automaker created a head-on collision test with a B-Class at their Sindelfingen test track that would lead to the pressurized refrigerant being sprayed on the engine. The result in 20 out of 20 test was that the refrigerant burst into flames as soon as it hit the hot engine, while Daimler says that R-134a does not catch fire in the same test. Another unexpected result of the R-1234yf test was the release of hydrogen flouride, a chemical far more deadly to humans than hydrogen cyanide, emitted in such amounts that it that turned the windshield white as it began to eat into the glass.
Said a Daimler engineer in a Reuters piece, "It was scarcely believable. The most complicated lab tests conducted using the most sensitive measuring instruments around found nothing and all we do is drive a car around a couple of times, open a tiny hole in the refrigerant line and the next thing you know the car is on fire." So Daimler said it wouldn't use the refrigerant, and it recalled the cars it had already shipped with R-1234yf.
Carlsson SLK 340 Judd is winged up for hill climb glory
Wed, 06 Mar 2013Carlsson has been expertly tuning Mercedes-Benz products for more than 20 years now, but we can't say as we remember the outfit turning out anything quite so racy as this SLK 340 Judd that it has brought along to the Geneva Motor Show this year.
This SLK is meant for competition, obviously, and Carlsson has already booked the car to race in several hill climb events in the E1 category. The purpose-built racer should have a fighting chance to do well in said races, with a shape vetted in wind tunnel testing for maximum downforce, the SLK uses a carbon-fiber bodyshell to help achieve a curb weight of just about 1,720 pounds.
The featherweight SLK's name comes from its 3.4-liter V8 engine, which churns out a wicked 610 horsepower to go with its 317 pound-feet of torque. A Hewland transmission with paddle shift operation manages all of the thrust.
