This title comes from a line by Li Zixiong in the classic Hong Kong film "Blood Street", although the Xiao Rong he played in the end failed to achieve his wish, but it did not affect the impact of this "bold words" on the editor. In the 90s, when the paper was drunk and gold- To this day, these elderly old bens are still extraordinary; it can be said that they witnessed that era and represented that era.
In addition to the unforgettable w124, w126 and tiger head w140, it is necessary to mention w201. Although it was still a member of the new generation of the Mercedes-Benz family at that time, in terms of aura or refinement, the quality it presented was not inferior to that of several big brothers.
This retrospective work of the times is from the hands of Guangzhou KGO Air, in today's w201 has been very scarce, willing to invest a lot of energy and financial resources to make it revitalized, how many people will be?
In fact, before it looked like this, we had an encounter with it once. At that time, it was as if it had just left the production line, and the illusion of going back in time was really wonderful.
In order to counter the popular BMW III Series, Mercedes-Benz spent 600 million pounds to develop the w201 finally appeared in 1982. More than 1.8 million W201 vehicles rolled off the production line in an 11-year life cycle, which is enough to represent the success of this car. There may be some friends who mistakenly thought it was an e-class predecessor because of the name 190e before learning about it. In fact, this e only represents German einspritzung, that is, fuel injection. The initial starter version of the carburetor engine, w201, has a more concise name— the 190.
The w201 is very versatile and comes with several engines with different characteristics, including the 190 e 2.5 16v that performance fans are talking about, and the even more ferocious evolution i/ii. This car not only succeeded in the market, but also wrote a history in the bloody arena. Elegant or radical hardcore, w201 can be harnessed.
This w201 is a bit more beginner 190e 2.0, but the configuration is not ambiguous. Dege said that he had been looking for it for a long time before he found that it had a Cantonese account and maintained it in a good state in all aspects, thanks to the careful care of the previous owner, it was still glamorous. It is worth mentioning that some small parts are really difficult to buy but need to be replaced, which are handmade by the original owners.
Playing with old cars, how the car is in condition and whether it has a good foundation is very important, which will save a lot of unnecessary trouble in the later work. After the system was dismantled and refurbished, it returned to that radiant phase. Inside and outside, it seems that it is not too much to describe it with the four words of invulnerability.
The 2.0l m102 engine is equipped with a 5-speed manual transmission, which is the power/transmission configuration of the 190e 2.0, and there is no need to talk about manual fun on it, and comfort and good driving are king.
The four window lift buttons arranged around the gears can be regarded as a major feature of the Mercedes-Benz interior design of that year. The easy aging of mahogany trim panels is also one of the problems that classic car players have to face.
The center console has prepared a tape cartridge, enough to store those nostalgic songs in your heart.
How to interpret the minimalist boxy body more excitingly? The answer given by the designer is this delicate and three-dimensional waist line, which is quite clever.
The taillights with "grooves" in the old Mercedes-Benz are also a classic element, this design is actually for the sake of safety, which was limited by the design materials and road conditions, and in some cases the taillights are likely to be covered with mud and dust and lead to accidents. The grooved design allows the airflow to be cleaned, and even when driving on dirt roads, the rear car can clearly see the taillights through the grooves.
The appearance of returning to the basics is often the most attractive, other plans to consider it in the long run, and it is enough to maintain this appearance for the time being.
If you also have an old Mercedes, but struggle to figure out which classic rim to choose for it is more appropriate. Then the oz OEM amg aero iii, commonly known as the flatbread, is definitely the best choice. Whether it is a classic model such as w201, w124 or w126, this rim is a perfect match.
Kgo air suspension makes it proud with a lower posture, and does not pursue the tightly seamed card edge effect in the chassis setting and rim data, because of the special shape of its wheel eyebrows, the current situation may be more suitable for it.
More than 20 years later, it is still as perfect as ever, and its place in our hearts has not changed. It's simple, but it's so amazing and extraordinary. Thank you kgo air for presenting such a masterpiece for everyone, Mercedes-Benz is Mercedes-Benz, irreplaceable, is your "Pingzhi dream" still there?
