Throwback Thursday: 1978 Mercedes-benz Auto 2000 by deelabs(m): 4:47pm On Jun 29, 2017 |
What was it? A low threw, five-entryway, kammtail liftback model with more than a passing similarity to its contemporary Mercedes brethren and the ones that took after. I think follows about the W124, W126 and W140 can be found in its plan. What were the specs? Front-engine, raise wheel drive with three unmistakable motor decisions. As indicated by Curbside Exemplary, the first was a 3.8-liter V8 with chamber deactivation, which was an entirely new thought at the time. (General Engines executed a similar innovation with their doomed V8-6-4 Cadillacs around a similar time, however it didn't precisely work out well for them.) The second auto had a 3.3-liter twin turbo diesel six-barrel engine which put out a great 31.3 mpg on the interstate. The third was the most peculiar of all; it had a gas turbine motor, which as we as a whole know is simply something that never appears as though it will get on. Focuses for attempting, however. What else made it unique? Streamlined features! The super-low kammtail body accomplished a super low for its time Compact disc of .28, which put it keeping pace with your normal current vehicle. Truly great for the 1980s.

deelabs: Cd in this instance doesn't stand for Compact disc rather it stands for Drag Coefficient |
