The Mercedes-Benz W 161 , called the 400 VMS , was the prototype of a luxury-class car that Daimler-Benz AG built in 1938. The technical director Hans Gustav Röhr , who died in August 1937, still designed it, but did not see the prototypes being built.
Its V8 engine with overhead valves was designed with a long stroke and had a displacement of 4003 cc. It developed 105 hp (77 kW) at 3500 rpm. Via a four-speed gearbox with overdrive and steering wheel gearshift, it drove the rear wheels, which were suspended from a double coil-sprung pendulum axle. The front axle hung on two transverse leaf springs. The wheelbase was 3300 mm. Two test cars were built from the 130 km / h vehicle.
Similar vehicles were the 400 V and 400 VM types , which differed from the 400 V type only in terms of chassis, engine and transmission.
