The Mercedes-Benz W 128 , known as the Mercedes-Benz 220 SE , was with his six-cylinder - injection engine to the models of the upper middle class of the brand Daimler-Benz . It was developed from the carburetor model 220 S (W 180 II) and built parallel to the middle class ("small pontoon") W 120 / W 121 with four-cylinder engines .
Mercedes-Benz 220 SE sedan
Daimler-Benz had already used the complex gasoline direct injection technology in the 1930s in aircraft engine construction ( DB 601 ) and later in racing vehicles - from 1954 also in the exclusive "gullwing" sports car 300 SL .
In September 1958, the 220 SE came onto the market with the more simply structured, mechanical intake manifold injection that had been used in the top model Mercedes 300 Sc ("Adenauer-Mercedes") from the beginning of 1956 . In the M 127 engine, the two-plunger injection pump from Bosch, controlled by a copy- milled space cam (mockingly "potato"), injects the fuel intermittently into the intake pipes in front of the intake valves via two triple distributors.
With the exception of the engine, the sedan, coupé and cabriolet of the 220 SE type corresponded to the carburettor-equipped sister models of the 220 S type. The M 127 injection engine had an output of 85 kW (115 hp) at 4800 rpm. increased nominal power. However, the improved performance and the somewhat lower fuel consumption of the injector had to be bought at an additional cost of 1900 marks. The automatic clutch “Hydrak” was also available for another 450 marks .
From October 1958 to August 1959 only 1974 copies were made. In July 1994, 102 vehicles were still registered with the Federal Motor Transport Authority in Germany, cars in collections were not taken into account.
Mercedes-Benz 220 SE Coupé and Cabriolet
From September 1958, the coupé and convertible, which otherwise corresponded to the carburettor versions, were also offered as the 220 SE with mechanical manifold injection .
In August 1959, three completely redesigned six-cylinder models with a tail fin body were presented, the type W 111 . Production of the 220 SE pontoon limousines ended in the same month. The coupé and convertible were built further. From August 1959, the injection engine modified for the new 220 SEb models was used in both models , which thanks to straight intake pipes and a “steeper” camshaft now developed an output of 88 kW (120 hp).
In November 1960, production of the 220 SE coupes and convertibles finally ended. As a successor, a new coupé was presented in February 1961 and a new convertible in August 1961. With a total of only 830 units built, the pontoon coupés with injection engines are among the rare models in post-war Mercedes-Benz production.
