The 1983-1988 Mercedes-Benz 190E 2.3-16 was a somewhat unexpected edition of Mercedes’ entry-level W201 compact sedan — a “factory hot rod” to counter the sportiest small BMWs and to win some business back from aftermarket concerns that had been cashing in by turning ordinary Mercedes into high-performance “sports sedans.”
No. 5 1937 540 K Special
The 540 K was known with the name “Special” for the reason why to name it after the word “Special” lies in its date of production. A car having 180 horsepower and a supercharged engine in the 1930s, it needed to be incredibly special. The 540 Kompressor Special was just that car, and placed the benchmark for the horsepower race of the first half of the 20th century. The Special Roadster, with its gigantic framework and sweeping scallop-edged fenders, attributed a haughtily long hood with a small windscreen and a very fixed cabin. There was an elegant, flowing, pointed tail and a price tag that was uniformly tremendous as the car.
