No idea. But there might be some info on the way at FCF. I'll post any as soon as possible, if anyone finds any that is.

This is the predecesor of the C-Class, not the E-Class.
Its code I believe was W201, built from 1982-1993. The second generation, W202 became the C-Class (1994-2000) and followed by the W203 (2001-2007/8?).

Great pics btw. A beautiful 'Baby Benz' like it was called back in those days.

Moving thread from E-Class to Older MBs/Classics section.

I always liked this little car - a couple of friends had them when I was at highschool in the late 80's - lucky bastards!!

I think that this is a very special car! Can someone explain why MB stopped making 4-vlave per cylinder engines back then and they started their 3-valve per cylinder campaign. It seems that they were on the right track and all of a sudden they decided to go in a totally different direction with their engines. It took more than a decade for them to realize that DOCH is actually better. It is just something that has been in my head for a long time I don’t have logical explanation. Maybe it was…marketing?

they are actually very rear and when I see one I usually try to take a picture. I took those pictures couple of days ago at my school parking lot. According to the parking decal it belongs to a professor…he obviously knows his stuff

ahh This thread reminded me how much I love this car I went through my “archive” and… just look at this shot…! Absolute classic !

 

[Zonda]

Ok. To judge from the dyno sheet it puts out 353.6 bhp. Seems a bit low for a car with that amount of mods done to it. It might put out more depending on the turbo set up, I think.

It was done to save money. Pure cost cutting move, the marketing spin came afterwards. Mercedes always knew that a DOHC 4/V setup was better. They touted this layout very loudly when the R129 500SL came out. Finally they're going back to this layout in every V6 and V8 now.
