About the Mercedes S-Class W140 S600 Obsidian Black Metallic Norev 1:18
TL;DR: Norev's 1:18 diecast Mercedes S-Class W140 S600 reproduces the 1997 flagship sedan in Obsidian Black Metallic. Solid diecast construction suits a car known for its sheer physical mass, powered in S600 guise by Mercedes' M120 V12.
The W140 arrived in 1991 as Mercedes' answer to how far a luxury sedan could go in size and engineering ambition, and the S600's V12 sat at the very top of that range.
Norev's Diecast Treatment of a Formal Flagship
A W140's slab sides and upright greenhouse leave little room to disguise a sloppy panel gap, and this model keeps its lines straight and consistent along the doors and trunk. Obsidian Black Metallic carries a fine sparkle under direct light rather than reading as flat black, appropriate for a paint code Mercedes used across its most formal sedans. The chrome window surrounds and door handles are picked out distinctly from the body color, a detail that matters on a car whose real-world presence depended heavily on that brightwork. Diecast construction gives the model genuine heft in hand, which suits the W140's reputation as one of the heaviest series-production sedans of its era rather than working against it.
The W140's Standing Among Mercedes Flagships
Mercedes built the W140 from 1991 to 1998 with a deliberately maximalist approach, adding weight, sound insulation, and mechanical complexity that later generations would trim back in the name of efficiency. The S600's twelve-cylinder engine represented the top of that ambition, a genuinely oversized luxury statement built before cost and emissions pressure reshaped the segment. Collectors of German luxury sedans often treat the W140 as the last of a particular era, the point before the S-Class became a more restrained, efficiency-minded car.
On an ultra-luxury sedan shelf, this S600 anchors a Mercedes flagship lineage well, its scale and formality standing in deliberate contrast to smaller, sportier company.
