    In June 1957, the Mercedes-Benz 180 a (W 180 B II), the most inexpensive Mercedes-Benz passenger car at the time, is also fitted with the modern four-cylinder engine that is already installed in the 190 and 190 SL. Although the capacity is throttled to 65 hp/48 kW for the 180 a, compared to its predecessor with 52 hp/38 kW it is still significantly more powerful. The top speed rises from 126 km/h (78 mph) to 138 km/h (86 mph); but more crucial is the substantially improved acceleration.
