Mercedes-Benz 380 (1933)

Automobiles

The Mercedes-Benz 380, type W22, was an eight-cylinder automobile that the German manufacturer Mercedes-Benz introduced at the Berlin Motor Show in February 1933 and withdrew from production during 1934. It was often identified by its works number W22, and sometimes called the 380 K after the supercharger fitted to the faster cars, a designation the maker never used officially. The 3,820 cc straight-eight swapped the side valves of its predecessor for overhead valves and was offered with or without a Kompressor, giving 90 to 140 PS. It was the first Mercedes-Benz with independent suspension, using a double wishbone front axle and a double-joint swing axle at the rear. Only 154 were built over less than two years, and the 500K replaced it in 1934.
