The Mercedes-Benz W 130 , called the Mercedes-Benz Type 150 V , appeared in 1934 parallel to the Type 150 , but had the same engine installed in the front as its sister model.

The small sports roadster of conventional design had the four-cylinder in-line engine of the 150 type with overhead valves and 1498 cc, which delivered an output of 55 hp (40 kW). The rear wheels were driven via an unsynchronized four-speed gearbox with stick shifting. There were hydraulically operated drum brakes on all four wheels. The rear axle was designed as a pendulum axle with coil springs. Like its rear-engined sister model, the roadster reached a top speed of 125 km / h.

In addition to a few pre-series copies in 1934 , which were used by the factory for various road and off-road competitions, a few more examples with a Kübelwagen body were made for the Wehrmacht . However, it was then not interested in a large number of these vehicles, so that in 1936 the idea of ​​series production was finally given up.
