The Mercedes-Benz W 23 (order code: Mercedes-Benz 130 ) is the first series Mercedes-Benz - rear-engine car . It was produced from 1934 to 1936.

history

The car was presented in February 1934 at the International Automobile and Motorcycle Exhibition (IAMA) in Berlin. Due to the poor sales success, the model was discontinued in 1936. One reason for this was the extreme rear-heaviness; 65% of the vehicle weight was on the rear axle. The successor could be the Mercedes-Benz 170 H with a larger engine and a different weight distribution.

engine and gears

The Mercedes-Benz 130 was powered by a side-controlled four - cylinder in - line engine that was installed lengthways in the rear. With a capacity of 1308 cm³, it developed 26 hp (19 kW) at 3000 rpm. The four-speed transmission with overdrive was in front of the rear axle. It reached a top speed of 92 km / h.

landing gear

A pendulum axle with coil springs was installed at the rear . The front wheels hung without axles on two transverse leaf springs ( independent wheel suspension ). The steering worked with a pinion and rack.

Body versions

The cars were available as touring cars (with convertible top and without side windows), as limousines , as convertibles or as Kübelwagen . The superstructures, all with two doors hinged at the rear, sat on a central tubular frame with a fork at the rear and cross members.
