The first officially designated "Mercedes - Benz S-Class " - internal designation W 116 - replaced the series W 108 / W 109 from. Half a year later, the Mercedes S-Class Sedan (450 SE), SLC Coupe, offered in addition to the Mercedes 450 Mercedes 450 SL Roadster and also with the larger 4.5-liter V8 engine. At the same time, the Mercedes-Benz 450 SEL was an extended wheelbase by 100 millimeters, as with its predecessors the latitude of legroom in the rear is beneficial. Also in terms of passive safety marks the S-class state of the art : for example, the fuel tank of the Mercedes - Benz 450 SEL is no longer now in the rear of the vehicle, but is installed, protected against collision over the rear axle, in the interior, the heavily padded dashboard and a four-spoke safety steering wheel with impact absorber and broad bolster plate for maximum impact protection.
