Heritage & History

Model Showcases & Buyer's Guides

Half a century ago, Mercedes-Benz introduced a vehicle that would permanently redefine automotive engineering: the legendary 123 model series. Premiering in January 1976 as the predecessor to the E-Class, the car was an instant global phenomenon. Demand was so unprecedented that the entire first year of production sold out before launch, establishing the W 123 not just as a reliable everyday workhorse, but as an overnight icon.
The Mercedes-Benz R 230 SL launched on the market 25 years ago. It embodied the properties of a
sporty touring car in its purest form. With outstanding comfort, sophisticated performance and a timeless
design, it was equally suited for relaxed long-distance touring as well as dynamic driving.
An abundance of joie de vivre and driving pleasure – whether open as a roadster or closed as a coupé: the Mercedes-Benz SLK (R 170) is just as inspiring today as it was at its premiere in April 1996.
