The Mercedes 15/70/100 PS , known from 1926 as the Mercedes-Benz 15/70/100 PS Type 400 or Mercedes-Benz Type 400 , is a luxury vehicle from the Daimler-Motoren-Gesellschaft (DMG). After Paul Daimler's departure , it was designed by his successor as chief designer, Ferdinand Porsche . At the same time as this model, the slightly larger six-cylinder Mercedes 24/100/140 PS was created , which only differs in engine and wheelbase. Around 1900 vehicles of this type were produced in the production period from 1924 to 1929.

The car was available from the factory as a chassis, six-seat touring car, six-seat Pullman sedan, six-seat coupe-sedan, six-seat Pullman convertible, Landaulet and Cabriolet D (with four doors).

Its six-cylinder in-line engine with overhead camshaft ( OHC ) and vertical shaft has a capacity of 3920 cm³ , develops 51 kW (70 hp) in suction mode and 74 kW (100 hp) with the connectable Roots blower (compressor).

The rear wheels, which are attached to a rigid axle and suspended from semi-elliptical leaf springs , are driven via a four-speed gearbox . The front axle is also rigid and hangs on semi-elliptical leaf springs. The car has cable brakes for all four wheels.

The cars reach 105 to 112 km / h, depending on the rear axle ratio.

Mercedes-Benz Type 400 (1926–1929)

After Daimler-Motoren-Gesellschaft with Benz & Cie. merged to form Daimler-Benz AG , the unchanged manufactured Mercedes 15/70/100 PS was renamed Mercedes-Benz Type 400 .

The rear axle suspension was changed from cantilever leaf springs to underslung springs in 1927 . From 1928, the cable brakes received suction air assistance to boost the brake force.

In 1929 the model was replaced by the Nürburg 460 .
