Inside thisMercedes-Benz
saloonthere's asports car
waitingto getout.
You'd be forgiven for thinking that
this is a Saloon Car Pure and Simple.
But don't be fooled. The 280E bears
more than a passing resemblance to the
sporting 280SL.
The 280E will eagerly offer up a
full-blooded 185 Din/HP at a touch of a
pedal. And its stable-mate, the 230E
will give you 136 Din/HP.
The suspension system has been
developed to give road-holding when
other cars would lose their self control
so you and not the road surface, will be
in control.
If it wasn't a Mercedes-Benz such a
triumph of engineering would
probably raise an eyebrow or two. But
then, if it wasn't a Mercedes-Benz,
would such a triumph of engineering
be possible anyhow?
Engineered like no other car in the world.
