Based on the large 300, Mercedes-Benz introduced the shorter 300 S in 1951 as a Coup\u00e9, Cabriolet and Roadster. Hermann Ahrens was responsible for the elegant design. Compared to the sedan, the wheelbase was 15 centimeters shorter. Production ran until 1958, and throughout the entire period the W188 series was the most expensive product in the model range. In addition, it was the last model series to be built using the classic frame construction method with the body built on top by hand. For this purpose, the individual parts were lovingly adapted and proper gaps were ensured. Initially, a three-liter inline six-cylinder engine with three Solex carburetors was under the hood. This produced 110 kW\/150 hp and 225 newtonmeters of torque. It enabled the two-door car to accelerate to a topspeed of 175 kph (109 mph).<\/p>\n\n\n\n

300 Sc from 1955<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

After 216 Coup\u00e9s, 203 Cabriolets and 141 Roadsters, a comprehensive model update to the Mercedes-Benz 300 Sc, internally W188 II, took place in 1955. Visually, the new models were recognizable by more chrome trim including chrome-plated rims. On the technical side, there was now a single-joint swing axle at the rear and mechanical gasoline direct injection from Bosch for the engine. This boosted output to 129 kW\/175 hp and 255 newtonmeters of torque, while the topspeed climbed to 180 kph (112 mph). On the rear bumper, Mercedes-Benz indicated the new technology with the lettering ‘Einspritzmotor’ (injection engine). By 1958, only 98 Coup\u00e9s, 49 Cabriolets and 53 Roadsters had been produced.<\/p>\n\n\n
