Introduction
The Mercedes-Benz 220 SE W128 is a six-cylinder luxury car produced by Mercedes-Benz from 1958 to 1960.
Development
It was the last new model of the “Ponton” series, whose design and style roots date back to the 1953 Mercedes-Benz 180 (W120) sedan. It was largely identical to its predecessor, the 220 S, except for fuel injection—“Einspritzung” in German—reflected by the additional E in its name 220 SE. The W128 was later succeeded by the emerging W111 series.
Technical Specifications
The 220 SE features a unibody construction and a chassis with fully independent suspension. All models are equipped with a 2.2-liter inline six-cylinder petrol engine with an aluminum head and Bosch mechanical fuel injection. This was performed as intermittent injection into the intake manifold and meant that the 2.2-liter engine produced 120 hp. The vehicle’s curb weight is 1,380 kg, it is rear-wheel drive, and its top speed is 160 km/h. The engine displacement is 2,195 cm3 with a four-speed manual transmission.
Production
Almost every interior is covered with wood and leather, and matching leather luggage was also available. However, original equipment for the 220 SE did not include power steering, electric windows, air conditioning, or an automatic transmission.
Market
This model was available as a sedan, coupe, convertible, and limousine.
