What about these few examples (I know they were NOT imported in the U.S., but they were available worldwide):
W126 260SE 2.6 liter 6-cyl
W140 280SE / S280 2.8 liter 6-cyl
W124 200E / E200 2.0 liter 4-cyl gasoline
W124 200D / E200 Diesel 2.0 liter 4-cyl
All of the previous models were exceptionally underpowered and slow, created to satisfy the demand at markets where taxes are very expensive on high powered and/or high displacement engines. Or just to create an "affordable" entry level model to the lineup.
One thing is for sure, a 50 c.c. scooter would overpass any of these cars in the highway easily.
