History

Following the debut of the 1970s generationW116(which also included the limited-productionMercedes-Benz 450SEL 6.9), Mercedes-Benz began plans for the next-generation S-Class model in October 1973. Codenamed "project W126,"[2]the project had specific goals: an improved ride, better handling, and improvedfuel efficiency.[3]These improvements were aimed at helping retain the S-Class' market leadership as the world's best-selling prestige luxury sedan.[2]Mercedes-Benz had made fuel efficiency an especially pertinent goal (named "Energy Program"),[4]even in the largeV8 enginedversions of the S-Class.

In terms of the body design, the objective of the W126 design team, led by Mercedes-Benz'sBruno Sacco, was to produce a car that was sleeker and moreaerodynamicthan the previous model. The application of lighter materials and alloys combined with thorough wind tunnel testing to reduce overall drag meant the car consumed about 10% less fuel than its predecessor.[3]

After six years of development, the W126 was formally introduced at theInternationale Automobil-Ausstellung(International Motor Show, or IAA) inFrankfurton September 1979.[5]The initial lineup featured seven models in standard (SE S-Klasse-Einspritzmotor, SD S-Klasse-Diesel) and long (SEL, SDL) wheelbasesedanbody styles: the 280 SE/SEL, 380 SE/SEL, 500 SE/SEL and 300 SD. Technically, the long-wheelbase (SEL) variants were codenamed V126, but this was not popularly known.[2]In 1981, the coupé version C126 (SEC, acronym for (German)S-Klasse-Einspritzmotor-Coupé) of the W126 S-Class premiered at the IAA with the 500 SEC model. In 1981,Wheels Magazineselected the W126 model 380 SE as itsCar of the Year.[6]

Although the top of range Mercedes-Benz 450SEL 6.9 of the previous generation was not directly replaced, the W126 carried forward thehydropneumatic suspensionof the 6.9 as an option on the 500SEL and later on 420SEL and 560SEL models.

Four years after the introduction of the fuel-efficiency "Energy Program," the model range had been reworked completely. In September 1985, again at the IAA inFrankfurt, the reworked model range was reintroduced. Apart from visual changes to the bumpers, side covers and larger 15 inch wheels with a new design on the hubcaps and alloys (optional), there where a number of technical upgrades as well as changes made to the available collection of engine variants was most visible. Two newly constructed 6-cylinder engines and new 4.2- and 5.6-litre V8s were added, and other engines were further upgraded.

The W126 generation was replaced by theW140in 1991, although a satellite factory in South Africa is known to have continued production until 1994. The different body styles of the W126 S-Class achieved a combined sales total of 892,123 units (818,063 sedans and 74,060 coupés), making the W126 the most popular S-Class ever produced.
