Mercedes-Benz W124

Model Introduction

The Mercedes-Benz W124, launched in 1984, was a technologically advanced executive car that built on the marque’s reputation for engineering excellence. Styled under Peter Pfeiffer, it featured aerodynamically efficient bodywork, multi-link rear suspension for improved ride and handling, and a wide range of petrol and diesel engines, including silky inline-sixes and the potent 500E developed with Porsche. Available as a saloon, coupé, estate, and later cabriolet, the W124 combined durability with refinement, becoming one of the most respected and long-lived models in Mercedes-Benz history.
