Facts about the model

Saxat ur Wikipedia:
Den nya S-klassen introducerades hösten 1979. Tyngdpunkten låg nu på lågt luftmotstånd och lägre bränsleförbrukning än hos företrädarna. Tekniskt var bilen en vidareutveckling av W116. På V8-versionerna göts även motorblocken i aluminium, till skillnad från W116 som hade gjutjärnsblock. Till 1986 uppdaterades bilarna med uppfräschad kaross och modifierade motorer. Bland annat infördes de nya sexorna från W124:an Utrustningslistan är längre än hos W116, låsningsfria bromsar kunde fås från början, och krockkudde från hösten 1981. Även gashydraulisk fjädring enligt klassiskt Citroën-mönster kunde erbjudas på 500-560sel: Ökad fjädringskomfort och möjlighet att öka markfrigången, samt från och med 1986 med inifrån kupén justerbar dämpverkan, sänkning av karossen vid fart över 120 km/tim, och ett system för minskad krängning vid kurvtagning: en kvicksilverpärla flyttade sig när det krängde, och styrde via elektriska solenoider hydraultrycket till respektive fjäderben.

Produktionen uppgick till 818 036 exemplar.
