The Mercedes 24/100/140 PS is a luxury vehicle from Daimler-Motoren-Gesellschaft (DMG), Stuttgart-Untertürkheim. After Paul Daimler left , the new DMG chief designer Ferdinand Porsche developed the car from April 1923 , which was produced from 1924 to 1929.

At the same time as this model, the slightly smaller six-cylinder Mercedes 15/70/100 hp was created , which only differed in engine and wheelbase.

In 1926 the model was renamed the Mercedes-Benz Type 630 .

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 an overhead camshaft ( OHC ) driven by a vertical shaft has a displacement of 6240 cm³ , develops 100 hp (74 kW) in suction mode and 140 hp (103 kW) 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 trolley is equipped with cable brakes for all four wheels.

The cars reach 115 to 120 km / h depending on the rear axle ratio.

Mercedes-Benz Type 630 (1926–1929)

After Daimler-Motoren-Gesellschaft with Benz & Cie. merged to form Daimler-Benz AG , the unchanged Mercedes 24/100/140 PS was renamed the Mercedes-Benz Type 630 .

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.
