High Quality Content by WIKIPEDIA articles! The Mercedes-Benz 240D was introduced in 1973 in Europe (1974 in North America) as a new diesel- powered variant of the W115 chassis, outranking the 220D as Mercedes' most powerful diesel car. Introduced in 1973 at a price of 19,913.40 Marks, the cost was four times the typical car of the time. It had many available luxuries, such as heated seats, cruise control, leather seats, and a manual or power-operated sunroof. It was at the time the fastest diesel engine available, though its OM616 4- cylinder, 2.4 liter engine only produced 65 hp (48 kW). Along with a curb weight of roughly 3050 lb, this gave the 240D a relatively poor power to weight ratio, and thus acceleration was unimpressive and top speeds rarely exceeded 140 km/h (~90 mph), unless on a downward inclined road. In 1976, production of the W115 chassis ended and the 240D became part of the W123 chassis family along with a more powerful version of the Mercedes-Benz OM616 with 72hp, and the new updated 77hp in-line 5 OM617, found in the Mercedes-Benz 300D.
