Секрет Mercedes W140: Почему его до сих пор невозможно превзойти?

This car marked the pinnacle of Mercedes-Benz engineering and, at the same time, its greatest tragedy. In this video, we'll explore the history of the Mercedes-Benz W140—a car that cost over a billion dollars to create and ultimately cost the career of its chief engineer. The W140 didn't just replace the legendary W126; it was meant to be a response to the challenges posed by Japanese manufacturers and competitors from Munich. We'll follow the entire journey: from the first drawings and Wolfgang Peter's fanatical perfectionism to the moment when accountants finally defeated the engineers.
