[Footage #1] Mercedes-Benz 560SEL W126 | “One of The Finest S-Class Ever Made”

The Mercedes-Benz S-Class has long been regarded as the industry benchmark for all automakers. However, since the introduction of the W222 model, it seems to have lost the distinctive stately yet elegant presence that once defined its unique charm.

During my visit to the Samsung Auto Museum, the moment I encountered the W126 560SEL, I found what's missing from the current S-Classes. I was captivated by the car's dignified presence and elegant aesthetics, which have been absent for quite some time. It immediately evoked cherished memories of the glorious era of S-Classes in the 1980s.

As you may know, the Mercedes-Benz W126 S560 SEL (Limo Version) represents the pinnacle of the S-Class, crafted under the direction of Mercedes' renowned designer, Bruno Sacco. For many Mercedes enthusiasts, W126 is still regarded as one of the most aesthetically pleasing S-Class designs ever created.
