The Mercedes-Benz W 23 with order code: Mercedes-Benz 130  of the first series Mercedes-Benz - rear-engine car . It was made from 1934 to 1936.

The car was presented in February 1934 at the International Motorcycle and Motor Show (IAMA) in Berlin. Because of low sales success, the model was discontinued in 1936. One reason for this was the extreme rear endurance; 65% of the vehicle weight was on the rear axle.  As a successor, the Mercedes-Benz 170 H are larger engine and better weight distribution.

The Mercedes-Benz 130 was powered by a side  mounted four cylinder in-line engine, which was installed longitudinally in the rear. With 1308 cc displacement this made 26 hp (19 kW) at 3000 rpm. The four-speed gearbox with overdrive lay in front of the rear axle. This reached a top speed of 92 km / h. At the rear was a pendulum axle with coil springs installed. The front wheels hung axleless on two transverse leaf springs with the steering worked by rack and pinion.
