Built 1965–1968, the Mercedes-Benz W108 2.5 250 SE sedan develops 110 kW (150 PS) and 216 Nm of torque from a 2.5-litre six-cylinder petrol engine. A four-speed manual gearbox sends the W108 2.5 250 SE's drive to the rear wheels.
Its output sits mid-range among the 4 versions: 15% up on the entry 2.5 250 S (96 kW), 37 kW below the 3.5 280 SE (147 kW). On top of that, it is the fastest flat out (190 km/h). On paper, it sprints from 0 to 100 km/h in 11.8 s, tips the scales at 1,480 kg and has 101 PS per tonne to work with.
