The attractive coupés in the model series C 123 1977 enriched the model portfolio of Mercedes-Benz in 1977. They were premiered a good year after the saloons (W 123). "The three new models are a successful refinement of the mid-series models 200 D to 280 E which have been so successful over the last year, without relinquishing their modern and well-honed engineering", reads the text in the Mercedes-Benz press kit dated March 1977. It continues: "The coupés presented in Geneva are aimed at automotive enthusiasts who value optical individuality and visible verve in their vehicle." Today these statements are as current as back then. For the coupés from the model series, C 123 is among the popular young classics from Mercedes-Benz. Despite a close visual kinship to the saloons, the coupés are autonomous creations. Their body is 4 centimeters lower and 8.5 centimeters shorter. Somebody's details corresponded to the superior design on the 280 and 280 E saloons: all three coupé models had rectangular broad-band headlamps, chromed air inlet grilles in front of the windscreen, and chrome trim beneath the rear lamps. As of the facelift in September 1982 the air inlet grilles were in black. An important technical improvement compared with the direct predecessors of the "Stroke Eight" model series (W 114) was the even more stable safety passenger cell with a stiffer roof frame structure, high-strength roof pillar, and reinforced doors. A further safety innovation came in August 1980: Introduced as a world first in 1978 in the S-Class of model series 116, the anti-lock braking system (ABS) was available on request for all models in model series 123. From January 1982 a further optional extra followed in the form of the driver's airbag.
