Mercedes-Benz 600SEL 1993

On November 16, 1990, Mercedes-Benz unveiled the W140 S-Class via press release, later appearing in several February and March editions of magazines. The W140 made its public debut at the Geneva Motor Show in March 1991 with the first examples rolling off the production line in April 1991 and North American examples on August 6, 1991. Short (SE) and long (SEL) wheelbase saloons were offered initially as well as the coupé (SEC) body style from October 1992. In 1996, the coupé models following a mid-life update were separated into the CL-Class. The W140 series S-Class was superseded by the W220 S-Class saloon and C215 CL-Class coupé in 1999 after an eight-year production run.
