Description

A final model was added in August 1969, the 280 SE 3.5, the first postwar Mercedes coupé with more than 3 liters. The car was equipped with the all-new M116 3499 cc V8. It produced 200 hp (150 kW) at 5800 rpm and a top speed of 210 km/h (130 mph)(205 km/h (127 mph) with automatic transmission) and a 0-100 km/h (62 mph) at 9.5 seconds (11.5 for automatic transmission). Among the many changes to modernize the outdated design was the inclusion of a lower, wider grille, and the facelifted model is often called the “flachkühler” by the Germans. The new grill was not a side effect of enlarging the engine bay to accommodate the V8, despite popular belief. Front and rear bumpers were also modified with the addition of rubber rubbing strips; the rear lenses changed to a flatter cleaner design. This change was made to the standard 280 SE. As the top of its range, the 280 SE 3.5 is seen as an ideological successor to the W112 300 SE, although it lacked the W112's air suspension. To get a good idea of the lot, we recommend coming to the viewing day.
