The Mercedes-Benz W 145 , called the 190 VB , was the prototype of a mid-range front-wheel drive car that Daimler-Benz AG built from 1936–1937. Hans Gustav Röhr , successor to the late technical director Hans Nibel since 1934 and previously employed by Adlerwerke , had designed the car based on the Adler Trumpf model .
The middle class car with 3000 mm wheelbase was intended as a 4-door sedan. Only 4 test cars were made by him. They had a side-controlled six - cylinder boxer engine with a square bore / stroke ratio (74 mm × 74 mm), which resulted in a displacement of 1914 cm³. The engine developed 50 hp (37 kW) at 4300 rpm. It was derived from the four-cylinder 130 VB engine by adding two cylinders. The other technical aspects of the 190 VB also corresponded to the smaller 130 VB: The engine drove the front wheels, which were suspended on wishbones and spring bars, via a four-speed gearbox with overdrive (1: 0.765) and steering wheel shift. The rear axle was designed as a pendulum axle and hung on semi-elliptical leaf springs and spring bars. All 4 wheels were braked hydraulically. The cars reached a top speed of 120 km / h.
In August 1937, Röhr died of pneumonia. All developments (with the exception of the 400 V type ) were stopped immediately and all test vehicles were scrapped. In this way his in-house opponents ensured that his work did not leave any lasting traces on Daimler-Benz AG. Röhr's employee, Chief Engineer Dauben, stayed with the company for another 20 years.
