In 1972 Mercedes-Benz introduced a brand new redesigned replacement to their flagship luxury sedan. The new S-Class (internal codename W116) was heavily based off of the new SL (R107) and introduced a brand new muscular styling cue that would continue with Mercedes-Benz until 1993. The new S-Class model was the first to officially carry the S-Class name. Knowledge gained from the C111 experimental prototype was incorporated into the new S-Class sedan including all new safety and performance features never before seen on a car. In 1974 the W116 body S-Class was given the European Car of the Year award cementing the W116 as the best Luxury Sedan money could buy. Aside from the ultra rare 6. 9 litre model. the 450SEL was the top of the line sedan offered by Mercedes-Benz and came with the venerable and very durable 4. 5 litre eight cylinder Mercedes-Benz built engine. Production of the W116 ceased in September of 1980 and many Mercedes-Benz enthusiasts prefer the W116 for its stunning muscular lines and unquestionable build quality.
