Mercedes-Benz W140 Sedan (1992 to 1999)

The Mercedes-Benz W140 was the company's third generation S-Class Sedan. Introduced for the 1992 model year, the new S-Class continued the sedan's tradition of technological innovation and engineering excellence. The W140 was available with either an inline 6, a V8, or a V12 engine, as well as long or short wheelbase configurations. As Mercedes changed their name convention in 1993, the W140 S-Class features variants that were built under two different names, but were the same respective car. These variants include the 300SD / 350D Turbodiesel, 300SE / S320, 400SE / S420, 400SEL / S420 Long, 500SE / S500, 500SEL / S500 Long, 600SE / S600, and 600SEL / S600 Long. Production of the W140 S-Class Sedan lasted until late 1998, with models sold in the United States until 1999.
