The 1995 Mercedes-Benz S-Class represents the fourth generation (W140) of Mercedes' flagship line, noted for its advanced technology and extraordinary comfort. This model came with an array of engine options, from a 2.8 L I6 (producing 197 hp) up to a hefty 6.0 L V12 (delivering 389 hp). It was available with a four-speed or five-speed automatic transmission, with rear-wheel drive as standard across the model lineup. This generation was offered in two trims, the SE and SEL, with the latter further divided into regular and long-wheelbase versions. Key technological features of the time included double-pane window glazing for noise reduction and a speed-dependent electronically controlled damping system. This model set standards for luxury and performance that influence Mercedes-Benz design to this day.
