Mercedes-Benz W123
Bruno Sacco · 1976
The Mercedes-Benz W123 is the best-selling Mercedes-Benz ever. Bruno Sacco made significant contributions to its design. It is a German executive car produced from November 1975 to January 1986. It sold 2.7 million units. It earned a strong reputation for build quality and reliability — especially among German taxi operators, many of whom drove it beyond 500,000 km with minimal mechanical issues. Early demand outstripped supply, leading to long waiting periods and even a black market for immediate delivery. It was offered in saloon, coupé, limousine and estate body styles — all factory-built — with the estate marking Mercedes-Benz’s first such offering.
Mercedes-Benz W201
Bruno Sacco · 1982
The W201 redefined what a compact luxury sedan could be—not by shrinking the S-Class, but by building a new class with structural integrity, scalable safety tech, and unambiguous engineering intent.
Mercedes-Benz W126
Bruno Sacco · 1979
The W126 is the second-generation S-Class, designed under Bruno Sacco at Daimler-Benz AG. It launched in 1979, added the C126 coupé in 1981, and ran until 1991 — the longest and highest-volume S-Class generation. It introduced ABS as standard, early airbags, hydropneumatic suspension, and distinct chassis coding. Its aerodynamic refinement (Cd 0.36 saloon, 0.34 coupé) served durability and presence over agility. It anchors Sacco’s S-Class trilogy — W126, W140, W220.
