Mercedes-Benz Cars

Mercedes cars are one of the world’s best-known symbols of automotive excellence. Beloved by dictators, pop stars and Formula One champions, the Mercedes range of luxury cars has always been a favourite of the upper echelons of society. They also bear the distinction of being the world’s oldest car manufacturer.

In the early years of their existence, Mercedes cars took the motor racing world by storm and they naturally applied themselves to breaking the world speed record. In the 1910s they achieved this and held on to it for seven years and set many more world records in the years afterwards.. This year (2005) three standard-bodied E320 CDIs fitted with the forthcoming V6 diesel engines broke world records for time to 50,000 and 100,000 miles – the cars ran for 30 days at an average speed of 140mph! That’s an awesome testament to their reliability and potency.

Mercedes cars have an unparalleled reputation for incorporating new technology – we have Herr Benz building the world’s first car, the first four-wheeled car and the first truck, and Herr Daimler’s invention of the carburettor. Then Mercedes cars featured the first multivalve engines, the first supercharged engines, the first diesel engines, the first independent suspension setup, the first crumple zone, the first fuel injection system, and the company also patented the airbag.

There are too many Mercedes cars featured here to highlight them all – all we can say is that if the Mercedes-Benz brand is good enough for popes, it’s probably good enough for you.
