Mercedes-Benz produces a wide variety of automobiles, ranging from trucks and sport-utility vehicles to sedans and coupes. While both the 1976 Mercedes-Benz 230 C and the 1976 Mercedes-Benz 280 C are automatic fixed-head coupes with two doors, the main differences between the two vehicles are in regards to fuel, engine and speed specifications.

The fuel capacity of this vehicle is 65 liters, or approximately 17 gallons. The engine is a single-overhead camshaft with a displacement of 2.3 liters and four, in-line cylinders have a total of two valves each, for a total of eight valves. The maximum power is 110.5 PS, or Pferdestrke comparable to horsepower, at 4,800 rpm, and the maximum torque is 136 foot-pounds at 3,000 rpm; the maximum speed tops out at 103 miles per our. The engine is located in the front and aligned longitudinally, and this vehicle employs rear-wheel drive as well as recirculating ball PAS steering and coil spring front and rear suspension. Finally, the 1976 Mercedes-Benz 230 C has front- and rear-disc brakes and a four-speed automatic transmission.
1976 Mercedes-Benz 280 C
The 1976 Mercedes-Benz 280 C is, like the 1976 230 model, an automatic two-door, fixed-head coupe. The wheelbase, length and height dimensions of the two automobiles are identical, while the fuel capacity of the 280 C has been increased to 80 liters. The engine in this model is a double-overhead camshaft, as opposed to the single of the 230 C, with a displacement of 2.7 liters and six, in-line cylinders for a total of 12 valves. The maximum power and torque have also been increased, with the former being 156.1 PS at 5,500 rpm and the latter 164 foot-pounds at 4,000 rpm. The maximum speed is 115 miles per hour. The engine location and alignment, as well as the speed and steering, remain the same in the 280 C; however, the suspension has both coil springs and anti-roll bars, and the rear brakes are disc-servo assisted. Like the Mercedes-Benz 230 C, the transmission for this model is four-speed automatic.
Significant Differences
While the Mercedes-Benz 230 C and 280 C were manufactured the same year, the two models boast significant differences. While identical in terms of type and dimensions, the 280 C is considerably more powerful with an increased fuel capacity and a larger engine, which in turn provides higher levels of power, torque and speed. Both models also have similar chassis specifications, such as engine location and drive, the suspension and brakes in the 280 C are also more advanced.
