1990 Mercedes-Benz 4Matic Demo Video
1990 VHS demo tape showing the then new 4Matic system. Shows the W124 300E 4Matic and 300TE 4Matic.
From the initial vision to the final production model: watch the development and testing of the new SLK here. Under the body of the new roadster a gigantic effort has been undertaken, intense engineering work, including several years of test runs. Freezing cold, scorching heat and long-term stress tests -- are only three of the many hurdles to overcome to bring the SLK into series production.
Here is an extremely memorable piece of footage where 5-time world champion, Juan Manuel Fangio, aged 66, races against Jack Brabham. The 4 lap 'demonstration' was run after the Australian Grand Prix at Sandown in 1978. With Fangio in his W196 Mercedes Benz and Brabham in his Repco Brabham, a car 12 years newer than Fangio's. An awesome exhibition of great racing cars, pushed to their limit against one another, a special clip.
