The W124 was a mid-sized vehicle platform, which entered planning
in the autumn of 1976 under development Hans Scherenberg. In July
1977, the W124 program officially began, with R&D commencing
work under newly appointed Werner Breitschwerdt. In April 1978,
decisions were made to base it on the Mercedes-Benz W201 model
program. By April 1979, a package plan was completed for the
program, laying out the guidelines of the project. During the
winter of 1980-1981, the final exterior for the W124 program was
completed, chosen as the leading proposal by design director Bruno
Sacco, and approved by the board of management in early 1981. By
mid-1982, the first prototypes reflective of the production design,
were assembled and sent to testing. In March 1984, pilot production
commenced and development of the sedan concluded with engineering
sign-off.
