1977 Mercedes Benz S-Class 300SD Turbodiesel (W116) USA Version Gold Metallic in 1:43 scale
This is the 1977 Mercedes Benz S-Class 300SD Turbodiesel (W116) USA Version Gold Metallic in 1:43 scale by Matrix.
The 1977 Mercedes-Benz S-Class 300SD Turbodiesel (W116) USA version was a pioneering luxury sedan, being the first production car to feature a turbocharged diesel engine. Powered by a 3.0-liter inline-five turbodiesel, it delivered 115 horsepower and impressive torque, offering remarkable fuel efficiency and reliability, which were rare in the luxury segment at the time. What set the 300SD apart was its ability to combine the smooth refinement of a high-end Mercedes-Benz with the durability and economy of a diesel engine, making it an ideal choice for long-distance cruising. Additionally, its advanced safety features, such as anti-lock brakes (optional in later models), and impeccable build quality reinforced its reputation as a leader in innovation and luxury.
Excellent quality and finish. Beautifully crafted and exquisitely detailed. Models are hand
painted, decorated and assembled. Beautiful detail and accuracy of shape and scale. Photo
etched parts, die-cutting, tampo printing and waterslide decals are also used. Each model
comes with its own acrylic display case.
