In our new series of reports we look back on the history of the Mercedes-Benz S-Class. Starting with the W 111 series, we take a look at a total of five generations of the post-war era, which in their own way have advanced the development of passenger cars. Under the brand slogan “The best or nothing”, which is still valid today, Daimler engineers repeatedly developed groundbreaking innovations for this top model. Years later, smaller model series and other manufacturers also benefited from this. The W 111 and W 112, for example, marked the beginning of a pioneering role in terms of occupant safety. But this S-Class – which wasn’t yet called that at the time – also enjoyed sporting success.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

S-Class predecessor<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Only the ‘grandchildren’ of this model generation slowly coined the term ‘S-Class’. In retrospect, however, even the marketing staff at Mercedes-Benz included the W 111 in this designation. At that time, the ‘S’ in the model types still stood for ‘Super’ and could also be found in smaller series. In the case of the W 111’s entry-level model, the Mercedes-Benz 220b, the ‘S’ was even completely omitted. The small ‘b’ was intended to distinguish the car from its predecessor model of the same name.<\/p>\n\n\n
