Pure Performance and Elegance
With 170 HP and an impressive 240 Nm of torque, the beloved 280 engine delivers performance that takes you back to the golden days of sports cars. With a top speed of 200 km/ h, as stated in the original brochure, this Pagoda stood as an elegant yet powerful counterpart to the Jaguar E-Type, Ferrari Daytona, and Corvette C3.
The Legendary W113 Series
The W113 series, produced between 1963 and 1971, included the 230 (1963-1967), the 250 (1967), and the 280 (1968-1971). Only 48, 912 W113 models were built. The Pagoda owes its nickname to the distinctive shape of its hardtop, reminiscent of a graceful Chinese pagoda roof.
