back when made in germany really meant something

Late 20th century, the peak of the automobile

As an engineer, this was actually super cool to watch. I had no idea they had such detailed virtual FEA programs in 1991.

This is REAL "MERCEDES"

Personal story: My dad had this Mercedes W140 when i was a little kid. Once he picked me up from the kindergarden and we drove home. I was playing with the Gameboy (the original 1st one) from my sister in the backseat. Suddenly we stop for no reason. My dad steps out and starts talking with someone. I turn around, and there was a totally smashed Trabant (east german car) standing there. I step out of the car and a women comes to me and asks me if im fine. I answered yes.. She said "u must be so afraid after that crash" - so we crashed into that car because he didnt saw us driving by. I didnt notice a thing. i heard nothing, i felt nothing. And the Mercedes had only a couple scratches, broken front light and a couple dents. I then acted like i was shocked to get sweets from her haha. - it worked This thing was built like a tank.

The times, when planned obsolescence was not a thing and cars could literally last forever.

автомобиль обогнал свои годы, по технологиям имеет превосходство даже над нынешними НОВЫМИ автомобилями

This mercedes was something like my now VHS player my parrents bought in 2000. Panasonic, hifi stereo, made in japan. 24 years old, never broke down, still works like new, and no signs of stopping. Just like what made in germany once meant. I remember when the new E series came out around 2009 and i was gobsmacked how cheap, and plasticky was the interior. Oh at least we still have this video...

Тот автомобиль, над которым работали инженеры, а не маркетологи

Got 1.7 million miles and still works🇩🇪

Das waren Zeiten als in Deutschland noch was vorwärts ging.....lang ists her 😢

This is literally the best car in the world.

When the cars are really worth it.

The best S-classe ever! I have me too W140. Old Benz is good Benz!

The fact that this car has most of the modern cars feature. Even some that modern cars don’t have

I wanna go back to those days😢

Holy shit, this song sticks so well to the car, great job!

Да Были времена Когда вместо маркетологов были инженеры своего дела Такого уже не будет 😢

This mercedes is THE Mercedes.

I feel bad for anyone who has never been or driven a W140 Way ahead of its time

Жаль что мы этого больше не увидим, а ведь когда то молоденьким мастером я этот мотор перебирал клиенту, и охуевал от тачки, это была мечта, бляяя,,,

Guys once upon a time engineers was designing the cars...

эх вернуться бы в это время..хотя бы на один день😢

Old Merc anthem

Classic song and classic Mercedes Benz

Это был настоящий Мерседес. Жаль что сейчас такие качевственные авто не делают .

Машины, созданные инженерами для людей, а не маркетологами для потребителей, как сегодня!

Две легенды Мерседес W 140 и Modern Talking

Это тот период жизни Человечества, когда созданием автомобиля занимались инженеры и технологи, а не маркетологи и капиталисты.

I remember my dad when he was younger he had thus rally cycle he said which was made in germany and appreciated it till this day

This mercedes or white Audi 100 as a taxi in 2007 in Poland and 70, 80, 90s hits playing inside. Memories from my childhood

Классные времена и я обожаю старые авто современные тоже,но большое старые просто тащусь от них

Mercedes Benz...Papa de tout les véhicules!

Раньше авто делали для людей, в приоритете стояло качество, комфорт, пытались как-то выделиться. Их до сих пор вспоминают с любовью, чего не скажешь про современные обмылки, о которых забудут в ближайшие годы.

Всем кто приложил руку этому шедевру стоя аплодисменты❤

Золотая эпоха автомобилестроения!

190 Cabs are still alive and kicking today. They last for about a million and more kilometers and thier old inefficient torque converter automatics and fluffy suspension offer comfort like few other things. An amazing car.

German Engineering at its best 🇩🇪

The car that could not be “killed”! And the song is great. Brings back memories

Classic S classe. What a machine

Это было время, когда автомобильным миром правили инженеры, а не меркетологи

I can say without any doubt that I conceived the idea to become a mechanical engineering the day I saw a W140 600 SEL for the first time.

I miss the 90s so much man, its depression.

любая современная новая машина даже рядом не стоит , если взять W140 новым 🙏

big BMW fan here, but cant deny that Mercedes was a lot ahead of the competition back then. those cars really were special.

The real Mercedes-Benz Made in Germany with good quality

It’s like a BMW but reliable and luxurious

The OG Mercedes kinda feels like the car was made with love and not just a peeny pincher like nowadays

Companies should not have stopped striving for innovation and great design in favour of subscription payments and artificially deliberate shortcomings.

Шедевр👍 мировой👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍

Makes you appreciate how much effort is put in to make such machines.

German song, German car….what a legendary video ❤ 🙌 🔥🍻 🇩🇪

Я обязательно дождусь возможности пригнать тебя с японского аукциона в казахстан. Мой любимец.😢❤

Almanlar bu işi biliyor.. araba alacaksan Alman alacaksın. Şu yapılan testler, denemeler vs. hepsi birbirinden ayrı ve özel. Diyecek kelime bulamıyorum. Helal olsun adamlara..

I purchased the same model in 2011 from a local Arab in the UAE. It was in impeccable condition, right down to every bolt and screw. While driving down a road, I encountered a small tunnel. Upon exiting, I had to ascend a slight incline before the road straightened suddenly. As I emerged, traffic came to an abrupt halt. I had to brake hard because I was going a bit too fast. After braking, the car jolted slightly, though initially, I thought it was just in my head. Suddenly, there was a knock on my car window. A gentleman asked if I was alright. I assured him that I was fine and inquired about the reason for his concern. He then informed me that he had collided with my car. Upon inspection, I noticed that his brand-new Mitsubishi Lancer, purchased just a few months prior, was completely wrecked, whereas my W140 rear bumper only had a few scratches. It was truly remarkable...

Que buenos tiempos tuvo esa máquina 💪💪

Молодцы ребята ❤ германия я ❤

Во, золотое время для автомобилей, красивые, самобытные, удивительные, а не нынешнее гоwно для полных потребителей

Для 1980-х годов, когда этот автомобиль разрабатывался, это был "космический" автомобиль. In the 1980s when that car was in process of development it was a "space" car.

Respect old car MERCEDES/BMW/AUDI

W140. Sold mine 1998. Still missing it.

Какая настольная ❤❤❤❤❤

Да, как же это красиво смотрится до сих пор. Жаль, что больше такого не будет.... Была бы возможность, взял бы такого новым, думаю лет 10 о серьёзных поломках не думал бы

Engine v12 💀

Modern talking,also a famous German 80s band,nice matching, what a nation. 😊

Two legends were associated with each other

a tank and a legend...

Many people don't know this but: That was THE most controversial Mercedes of ALL time.

I love how suspension cross member bending calculated using 3D visuals

2:48 based Lady Diana

-"Mercedes"? -You're trying to live with it.

я кайфанул посмотрев этот видеоряд)

Bruno sacco and him s legendary designed w 140 I can only wish to buy this w 140

if this does not motivate students to become engineer then nothing can

Мой любимый кузов!

Im a Ford guy but goddamn I want one of those W140's, that thing is sexy!

Signori SPETTATORI qui non si parla di un automobile....ma dell' AMMIRAGLIA MERCEDES..... ottimo video e ottima colonna sonora....!!!

140 ковой машина всех времен и народов!!!

When the Mercedes Benz was meaning of excellence

Отличный душевный клип !))

Rest in Peace Princess Diana

Вот немцы молодцы респект и уважуха им.

This is the true car that we need luxurious,durable and comfortable. This is the Queen of the road. Mercedes❤❤❤❤

How many times did you watch the video? Me: yes.

Nostalgia, those people, clothing style, music, car, new technologies (real novelties not big lcd), engineers (back then when to be an engineer meant something -----back then when mercedes meant something)

The W140 generation S-Class set the standard of what an S-Class should be. Except for the W221, no other S-Class ever came close.

Insane and incredible customer care.

Это идеальный автомобиль

I always wanted to be An Automobile Engineer. But my parents wanted me to become chartered accountant, im just one exam away to be CA, but oneday ill learn automobile by own & would like to contribute to the automobile industryy😊

I wish we had Time Machines to go back in time.

Marketing ❌ Engineering✅

прекрасная машина

Wonderful Car!!!🔥 Celebration of Technology!!!🔥 Total Perfection!!!🔥 Thanks!!!

one of the best cars in early 90s 👍👍😎😎

Che interni❤

Schön das ich mir vor sechs Monaten einen guten 420 kaufen konnte ❤

Sono sicuro che un giorno la guiderò
