W140
In production from 1991 to 1998, nicknamed "Tank". Considerably more expensive than its predecessor, leading to slow sales during the recession of 1990-1994. Double paned soundproofed glass was an innovation on this model. Other novelties were ESP introduced in 1995, an own development using on-board computers to improve vehicle handling response. Xenon High-intensity discharge headlights (1995), Brake Assist System BAS (1996), door mounted side airbags and seat occupancy sensors (1997). Automatic windscreen wipers with rain sensors were also introduced in 1996. This particular car belonged to King Albert II. It was delivered as an S 500, but only a few weeks later, he had a 6.0 V12 AMG engine fitted.

First time for a long time I have aimed any form of camera at a train.
Although only from iphone and hence reduced quality showing preserved
Victorian Railway S Class/X Class/T Class running a freightliner through
Sunbury on the Melbourne to Bendigo Route. Very limited freight moves down this line and on the right a MTM electric train waits to depart from the
newly electrified station to Melbourne. Time at 6.20am Monday 18/02/13.
Train will cross over from West to East line and hence braking for a diverging move and then powers north on the incline to Riddells Creek. A sultry morning with temps around 30+ for the last few days in Victoria and 20C over night.
W111
Replacing the Ponton with a design focused on passenger comfort and safety. Wider and squared off, with a large glass greenhouse improving driver visibility. A milestone in car design were front and rear crumple zones for absorbing kinetic energy on impact. All initial models shared the straight-6 engine carried over from the previous generation and capable of accelerating the heavy car to 160 km/h. The W111 spawned a pair of bracketing variants in 1961 : downscale entry-level 4 in-line engined vehicles sharing the W111 chassis and bodies, designated the W110.
