1981 Mercedes-Benz 300 SD & 380 SEL Sedan lot of (2) original vintage advertisements.
DESCRIPTION:
Mercedes-Benz introduces the next logical step.
Via masterful aerodynamics and 63 other engineering advancements, Mercedes-Benz has restated its definition of the ultimate gasoline and diesel sedans in the world of the 1980's.
The bodywork of the new 380 SEL and 300 SD Turbodiesel is more thanjust aerodynamically pure. Its 0.36 drag coefficient eclipses every sedan — and almost all sports cars — sold in North America today.
And it symbolizes seven years and eight million km ol scientific development, aimed at fulfilling the demands of the eighties — and the demands of Mercedes-Benz.
The next logical engine
The 380 SELs new V-8 engine epitomizes this move
to 1980's priorities. At only 3.8 liters it is smaller than any domestic V-8. And its block is cast in silvery light alloy. Weight saved — but strength and durability preserved.
Meanwhile, the 300 SD retains its rank as the world's most powerful diesel sedan. And both cars can accelerate fester from zero to 100 kph than their predecessors. A new ally: a new torque - converter automatic transmission.
The 300 SD furnishes sublime comfort for five. The slightly longer wheelbase 380 SEL provides sybaritic rear seat accommodation. Both cars are quieter Smootherriding. And supplied
with virtually every civilized amenity.
Most capable cars in 95 years These two new models are introduced in confidence that in virtually every respect they represent the most capable automobiles in Mercedes-Benz history. No modest claim. Supported by no modest achievement.
Engineered like no other car in the world.

Consider the bodywork of the new 380 SEL and the 300 SD Turbodiesel: a capsule of aluminum and steel and glass, so aerodynamically pure that its 0.36 drag coefficient eclipses every sedan — and virtually every sports car - sold in North America today. Yet the magnificent comfort expected of a flagship Mercedes-Benz sedan is preserved.
Under the aerodynamics is a new unit body, honeycombed with aluminum and a thinner, lighter, stronger steel. Weight is saved while structural strength is increased.
Within shorter overall length than their predecessors, both 380 SEL and 300 SD boast longer wheelbases, less mass — yet a smoother ride.
The next logical engine
The 380 SEL's new V-8 engine epitomizes the move to 1980's priorities. At only 3.8 liters it is smaller than any domestic V-8; and its block is cast not in iron but silvery light alloy.
A superb power-to-weight ratio results. And an engine designed for the realities of the times is also one of the most potent in any 1981 automobile.
Credit advanced metal
lurgy for the fact that its strength and durability compare with iron block engines. The block is cast under low pressure, in one piece, in an intricate "closed deck" process. (So hard is the silicone-impregnated block, in fact, that it can
be machined only by tools with diamond tips.)
Quicker to 100 kph
The five-cylinder turbocharged 300 SD Turbodiesel
keeps its title of world's most powerful diesel sedan. Without yielding a mote of diesel efficiency.
Both cars can accelerate faster from zero to 100 kph than their predecessors: less weight, less aerodynamic drag — and a new four-speed torque-converter automatic transmission, programmed for more precise shifting. It also functions smoother than any Mercedes-Benz automatic before.
All this advanced technology is borne over the road with the poise and stability unique to the automobiles of Mercedes-Benz. Glib claims abound, but no maker has yet proven its cars to be more roadworthy.
Measurably quieter
A concerted noise abatement program has made the 380 SEL and 300 SD quieter-running cars. Engine noise, for instance, is further
muffled by a double firewall under the hood.
Interior layout is a sweep of ergonomically correct design, clean and uncluttered. Amenities have been increased to indude a new electric eightway seat adjustment for driver and front passenger. It is shaped like a seat, operates by
touch, and lets you shift your seating position without glancing away from the road.
The 300 SD furnishes sublime comfort for five. The slightly longer wheelbase 380 SEL provides sybaritic rear seat accommodation.
Progress shows on almost every front. Careful modifications in body design and interior fittings reflect a new peak in safety consciousness
by the conscientious engineers of Mercedes-Benz.
The science of the automobile body advances; new unitized structure is made simultaneously lighter and stronger.
High-strength lightweight steel is utilized in floor pan of unit body — helping form not only a lighter structure, but one that can bear far heavier loads than even its rugged predecessor.
Thinner-profile windshield "A" pillars that actually help to strengthen roof support are typical of 380 SEL and 300 SD's computer-designed body shell. Hood and trunk lid are aluminum.
Most capable cars in 95 years
These two models are introduced in confidence that in virtually every respect, they are the most capable in Mercedes-Benz history.
They are designed and
built to fulfill the demands of the eighties — and the demands of Mercedes-Benz.
A formidable challenge. A formidable result.
Engineered like no other car in the world.
