Mercedes-Benz W 150 – Wikipedia
The Mercedes-Benz in 150 , also known as Type 770 or Big Mercedes , was presented in 1938 as a fundamentally revised successor to the Mercedes-Benz W 07 type. Like the predecessor, the model was always as a Big Mercedes or. Type 770 designated. [first] [2]
From 1938 to June 1943, a total of 88 vehicles were built from 1938 to June 1943.
Only a few cars were sold to private individuals. The majority went to departments of the German Reich, such as B. the Reich Chancellery for Use by Adolf Hitler.
Compared to the W 07, the vehicle length grew by 40 centimeters to 6 meters. The chassis with 13 centimeters more wheelbase (3.88 m) consisted of oval tube with press steel parts instead of U-profiles with cross struts. The mechanical activity of the drum brakes was replaced by a hydraulic, the rigid axle at the front of a single wheel suspension on double cross -steering core, during the back one plant Parallelradachse named de-Dion axis was used. In contrast to the predecessor, all W 150 were provided with a compressor motor, the performance of which was increased by 30 hp to 230 hp (169 kW).
The special version built from 1940 to 1943 with the internal name W 150 II was armored with 18 mm steel, had a glazing made of 40 mm armored glass, 19 “tanks steel wheels and shell-safe 20-chamber tires. For weight wing consisted of light metal. Empty weight was 4780 kg (otherwise 3400 to 3600 kg). For reasons of tire, the manufacturer recommended a maximum speed of 80 km/h (otherwise 170 km/h).
The list prices for the four-door W-150 sedan were 44,000 RM and for the seven-seater Cabriolet F 47,500 RM (which today is about € 215,000 or € 232,000 [5] is equivalent to).
In direct comparison with all top models from Daimler (the type 460/500, Mercedes-Benz 300 “Adenauer”, Mercedes-Benz W 100 and Maybach 62) it becomes clear what a huge car of the 770-the radiator grille alone had a height of about one meter.
