The Fortress
of Silence

A thousand engineers were given one instruction: build the best car in the world, whatever it costs. The W140 is the last time that sentence was ever spoken in Stuttgart.

“They built it to be the best car in the world. We simply kept it that way.” — Curator

Monolithic
Presence

Double Glazing01

Twin-pane side glass seals the cabin from the outside world — a first in series production, never repeated with such conviction.

Parade Proportions02

Five point two metres of unbroken surface tension. The W140 does not arrive at a building; the building acknowledges it.

Vault Doors03

Pneumatic soft-close draws each door shut with the finality of a bank vault. Nothing slams. Nothing rattles. Ever.

Lounge
Sovereign

Nappa hides, Zebrano veneer and seats that adjust in dimensions other cars do not have. Sound, temperature and time are all managed on your behalf.
