1985 - 1991 Mercedes-Benz W 126 (560 SEL)

            The Mercedes-Benz W126 is a series of flagship vehicles manufactured by German automotive marque Mercedes-Benz. Premiering in September 1979 as the successor to the earlier W116 line, the W126 was the second generation of the Mercedes-Benz flagship to officially bear the S-Class name referring to Sonderklasse or "special class." The W126 was initially offered in straight-6, V8, and turbo diesel sedan models. In September 1981, 2-door coupé versions of the W126 were introduced. Compared to its predecessor, the W126 was more aerodynamic, fuel efficient, capacious, and powerfully engined. The W126 S-Class debuted a new Mercedes-Benz design style which was subsequently used on other vehicles in the company's lineup. The W126 line also introduced many Mercedes-Benz safety innovations, including the first airbag supplemental restraint systems, seatbelt pretensioners, and traction control.

The W126 had a twelve-year production run between 1979 and 1991, the longest of any S-Class generation since the flagship models were first built in the mid-1950s.

Die Baureihe 126 ist eine Fahrzeugbaureihe der Oberklasse von Mercedes-Benz. Sie zählt zur sogenannten S-Klasse des Herstellers.

Die Limousinen der Baureihe 126 lösten die Baureihe 116 ab und wurden ab September 1979 mit langem und kurzem Radstand angeboten. Im September 1981 stellte Mercedes auf der IAA in Frankfurt die Coupé-Variante der Baureihe 126 als offiziellen Nachfolger des C 107 vor.

Die Produktion endete offiziell im Jahre 1991. Bis April 1992 wurden noch 38 weitere Fahrzeuge in Sonderschutzausführung gefertigt. Mercedes-Benz South Africa fertigte die Baureihe 126 in kleiner Stückzahl sogar bis ins Jahr 1994.

Insgesamt wurden 892.123 Exemplare produziert, davon waren 74.060 Coupés.

Im Oberklasse-Segment war die Baureihe 126 unangefochtener Weltmarktführer, bis heute ist es die erfolgreichste Oberklasselimousine aller Zeiten. Keine andere Baureihe von Mercedes-Benz oder von Mitbewerbern hat jemals eine derart hohe Absatzzahl in dieser Fahrzeugklasse erreicht.
