1929 Mercedes-Benz Typ Nürburg 460 the predecessor S-class

The last cornerstone of the post-merger revamp of the Mercedes-Benz passenger car range was a 4.6-liter eight-cylinder vehicle that had been developed under Ferdinand Porsche and which was called the Nürburg 460. This model owed its name not to any particular sportiness, but to the fact that it had undergone endurance testing on the Nürburgring, where a 460 had covered 20,000 kilometers in 13 days of driving. Unveiled in October 1928 at the Paris Motor Show, the Nürburg 460 served as a successor to the six-cylinder supercharged 15/70/100 hp, which had been launched four years previously and was to remain in production until February 1929. It was the first series-produced automobile from the world's oldest automobile manufacturer to be powered by an eight-cylinder engine. Alongside the variant with the standard wheelbase, there was also a short version of the early Nürburg, which was given the additional designation letter "K". In this case, however, the "K" stood not for "Kompressor" (supercharger), but for "kurz" (short). The 460 K had a 240 mm shorter wheelbase and a 50 kg lighter frame. Common to both variants were the 80 hp eight-cylinder in-line engine and four-speed transmission. #nurburg460 #w08 #classicmercedes #oldbenz source: mechatronik.de Antarctica by Audionautix is licensed under a Creative Commons Attribution license (https://creativecommons.org/licenses/...)
