Mercedes-Benz 300E W124 USA Commercial (neuere Version)

Neuere Version des 300E-Werbespots aus den USA: Offenbar hat man den Schnitt und Kommentar einer Revision unterzogen. Auch wurde die Beschleunigungszeit von 0 auf 55 Meilen von 7,5 Sec auf 6,8 Sec verringert.

The W124 is a mid-sized luxury vehicle platform. Due to the high cost of German engineer-build-quality, the W124 was designed to last many miles, with awards actually given and worn by high mileage versions (155k, 312k, 465k, 620k, 1,000k miles). This unique characteristic of ownership explains the surprising number still on the road 15 years after the last one rolled off the assembly lines. Cost cutting became critical in the mid/late 90s as the "no expense spared" over-engineered Mercedes-Benz models with a solid construction and the use of quality materials struggled to compete in price against mass-built Japanese high end cars.

Front suspension uses a separate spring and damper with a rubber top mount. The rear suspension of the W124 features the Mercedes multi-link axle introduced in 1982 with the Mercedes 190 and which is now standard on many modern cars. Estate cars (and optionally, saloons and coupes) had Citroen-like self-leveling rear suspension with suspension struts rather than shock absorbers, gas-filled suspension spheres to provide damping and an under bonnet pressurizing pump. Unlike the traditional Citroën application Mercedes opted for a fixed ride height and employed rear coil springs to maintain the static ride height when parked.

The R129 is based on the W124 platform and not, as is sometimes assumed, on the larger W140.
