The Mercedes-Benz 190E 2.5-16 Evolution II was created with only one goal in mind - to beat the BMW M3 in motor racing. This is a special version of the Merceds 190E compact sedan.
The modified version of the sedan received a 2.5-liter four-cylinder 16-valve engine with 232 hp. (The power unit was developed jointly with Cosworth).
Among other things, the car also received a special body kit to reduce aerodynamic air resistance. This aero kit allowed to increase the downforce of the car. This was done in order to help the car on the track win and win the auto race against the Bavarian powerful sedan at the time.
6) 2009 Mercedes-Benz SLR McLaren Stirling Moss
Question: which was released jointly by two world famous companies - Mercedes-Benz and McLaren? In our opinion, nothing. This car was released in honor of the legendary race car driver Stirling Moss, who became the champion of motor racing more than once in 1955, dominating the Mercrdes SLR 300 model car.
In honor of this great racing driver, Mercedes and McLaren decided to jointly build the SLR McLaren Stirling Moss. The car received for itself a classic appearance, a 5.4-liter turbocharged V8 engine, as well as a power of 640 hp.
5) 1928-1932 Mercedes-Benz SSK
Model . This model was personally developed by Ferdinand Porsche. Yes, do not be surprised, it is the same one who created the Porsche company.
Based on a shortened version of the S Roadster, the SSK was equipped with a 7.0 liter turbocharged six-cylinder engine that produced more than 200 hp. Thanks to the power of the engine, the car eventually managed to become the winner of auto racing more than once.
4) 1886 Mercedes-Benz Benz Patent-Motorwagen
This is not only one of the most important vehicles in the history of Mercedes-Benz. .
The first copy of the car was presented to the public in 1886. Despite the repeated disputes about which car is the first in the world, many experts still adhere to the opinion and believe that it was the Mercedes-Benz Benz Patent-Motorwagen that was the first and real in the world (some of the experts still believe that the car 1886 Mercedes-Benz Benz Patent-Motorwagen is not a car).
The Mercedes three-wheeler was equipped with a 1.0 liter single-cylinder engine, which was installed at the rear of this vehicle. Torque with a power of 2 - 3 HP transferred to the rear wheels. As a result of the success of his invention, engineer Karl Benz continued to improve his vehicle, which ultimately laid the foundation for the future success of the entire automobile company, which we see and see today.
3) 1991-1994 Mercedes-Benz 500E
The Mercedes 500E car model was further and widely used in the early 90s of the 20th century. The car was positioned with a sports version of the popular sedan car at that time. Unlike the traditional E-class cars, the 500E model had wider wings, upgraded suspension, large disc brakes on all four wheels, and a 5.0 liter V8 engine with 332 hp.
Is it only these improvements that allowed this model to become super popular?
No, not only these improvements. The thing is, this version of the E-class cars was distinguished by the special quality of their assembly. For such an assembly, a joint venture between Mercedes and Porsche was created. Therefore, each Mercedes 500E model that rolled off the assembly line was truly the handiwork of Porsche specialists.
Of course, with such technical characteristics, the Mercedes 500E car model was very fast. But in addition to the dynamics of acceleration and maximum speed, this car was also equipped with the latest technology of that time.
2) 1998-1999 Mercedes-Benz CLK GTR
For the FIA GT1 class, Mercedes developed the CLK GTR sports car, which was created on the basis of a city car. This Model CLK GTR was released in a limited edition.
A total of 26 such cars were produced. Despite the CLK name, this sports car has nothing to do with the regular CLK coupe. The CLK GTR only has similar design lines. The sports car was equipped with a 6.9-liter V12 engine with a capacity of 604 hp.
1) 1954-1963 Mercedes-Benz 300SL
Each automaker has a car that is the most iconic for the company. On the example of Mercedes, this is the 300 SL auto model. This model was available in both coupe and roadster body styles. Despite the fact that the car was produced in those distant 50s and 60s, the company's engineers and designers are still inspired by this model and design some modern cars even today (SLR McLaren, SLS AMG and AMG GT). So why did this little car from the 50s become legendary?
According to the experts themselves, this car model has everything that one can only dream of, i.e., all the optimal technical characteristics, excellent appearance (largely due to the doors opening up) and all the functional solutions used by engineers to create this auto masterpiece.
Also, a car that was available to the masses of motorists. The car was equipped with a 3.0 liter six-cylinder engine with 212 hp. A car weighing 1100 kg could easily reach a top speed of 260 km/h.
And yet, the unusually beautiful appearance of the car was designed for maximum performance. This 300SL was eventually called a racing car that could also be used in the city itself.
The history of the Mercedes-Benz brand (Mercedes-Benz) began in 1890, it was then that Gottlieb Daimler founded his company on the outskirts of Stuttgart. He named it Daimler-Motoren-Gesellschaft.
Wilhelm Maybach, a brilliant engineer, joined the staff of this enterprise. He subsequently became an authoritative figure in the global automotive industry. In parallel with the Daimler company, another company called Benz & Cie successfully worked on the German market, its owner was Karl Benz. Gottlieb Daimler died in 1900 and Wilhelm Maybach took over the company. In 1901, Maybach designed a car that was equipped with a four-cylinder engine that developed 35 hp. This model was named after the daughter of one of the co-founders of the company racer Emil Jellinek - Mercedes. Since that time, absolutely all Daimler-Motoren-Gesellschaft models have been produced under the name Mercedes. It was registered as a trademark in 1902. Let us recall the long history of the Mercedes-Benz brand on the examples of models that have left a noticeable mark on its activities.
Daimler and Benz merged in 1926 to form the Daimler-Benz concern, Ferdinand Porsche became its head. His first new development was the K series, which uses a compressor, and the most famous model is the 24/110/160 PS, which developed a crazy speed of 145 km / h at that time.
In the 30s of the last century, the company came to grips with the production of respectable cars, such as the 770 Grosser, with a 7.7 liter engine that developed 200 hp, and then, after improvement, 230 hp.
In the 1940s, the company began producing cars with diesel engines. The first such car was the Type 260 D. At the same time, the company's designers mastered the production of rear-wheel drive vehicles under the indices 130N, 150N and 170N.
During WW2, the company produced many models of both cars and trucks, incl. and military modifications. After the defeat of Germany, car production was restored only in 1946. Type 170 V, developed before the war, became the first car to roll off the assembly line, and 3 years later, its diesel version was released.
The company returned to the prestige segment in 1951 with the introduction of two luxury models at the Frankfurt Motor Show: the Mercedes-Benz 220 and 300. They were equipped with 2.2 and 3.0 liter engines respectively. Since 1957, the company began to install an automatic transmission on the Mercedes-Benz 300. The 300 was the most expensive model in the 50s.
Since 1954, the production of the 300SL has begun, which won the victory in motor racing. This car has become a legend, and the engine, which has reached speeds of up to 260 km / h, is a masterpiece of craftsmanship. The 300Sl had gull-wing doors that opened upwards.
In 1963, the famous "six hundredth" Mercedes (the legendary model 600) was released - an executive class car with a new powerful 6.3-liter V8 engine, automatic transmission, air suspension, which provided a new level of comfort. The car was also available in an extended version.
In 1983, compact models appeared: the Mercedes-Benz 190 series was introduced. It became the forerunner of the future C-class and was very popular in the period 1983-1993.
In the late 90s, several notable events occurred: Mercedes launched Smart, a small car brand, and also merged with Chrysler Corporation in 1998, though not for long. The company introduced products for several new market sectors. The basis of the program, however, remained the C and E series - cars of the classic layout.
A-class (W-168), a small-sized model began to be produced since 1997, was front-wheel drive, with engines of 1397 and 1689 cm3 with a power of 60 and 102 hp. The C-class (W-202) appeared on the market in 1993 and was significantly upgraded in 1997. The E-class (W-210) has been produced since 1995 with a wide range of engines of various displacements and types. The S-class (W-140) has been in production since 1991. SLK cars, which are part of the sports car group, were first shown in the spring of 1996. and since 1997, CLK-type coupes have been produced on the C-class chassis. SL (two-seat coupe and roadster) and CL (luxury coupe, 4-, 5-seater) respectively were produced from 1989 and 1992. G-class - all-wheel drive cars, known since 1979. Models of 1998 were equipped with diesel and gasoline engines. ML-class - new comfortable all-wheel drive cars have been produced in the USA since 1997. V-class - station wagons with increased capacity have been produced since 1996.
In the new millennium, as before, the company releases new models one by one and updates the lineup.
In 2008, the Mercedes-Benz GLK compact SUV expanded its lineup. The car was built on the chassis of the C-class station wagon and was intended for a comfortable ride in the city and country trips.
In 2012-2013, new models were released in almost all classes A, B, C, E and S.
Mercedes-Benz vehicles around the world have become icons of refined style, an icon for the luxury car class, combining high-tech engines and innovative equipment systems with comfort and elegance. The company also contributes to the protection of the environment, it constantly improves engines, develops hybrid propulsion systems and electric vehicles.
We can say with confidence that all Mercedes cars are designed for daily intensive use. According to car owners, the main advantages of these cars are: high safety, reliable steering, modern equipment and a powerful engine.
On our site you can always find out the latest news about this brand, as well as see photos and descriptions in the catalog of models.
The German company Daimler-Motoren-Gesselschaft, which produces Mercedes cars, was founded in 1901 by Gottlieb Daimler, the legendary author of the world's first four-wheeled car with a gasoline engine. The well-known designer Wilhelm Maybach helped Gottlieb Daimler build this car. Despite a number of shortcomings, this undertaking was actively supported by the Consul of the Austro-Hungarian Empire Emil Jellinek, in honor of whose daughter the first model Mercedes-35P5 was named. The technical characteristics of the Mercedes-35P5 allowed the car to reach speeds of up to 90 km per hour, which at that time was considered an impressive figure.
In the early years of its existence, Daimler-Motoren-Gessellschaft built not only cars, but also developed engines for aircraft and ships, which is the reason for the appearance of the Mercedes logo in the form of a three-pointed star. Such a figure symbolizes the success of the German company on land, in the air, and in water.
After merging with another automobile manufacturer, Benz, in 1926, this star became surrounded by a laurel wreath in the form of a ring, which reflected the victories of Benz in the motorsport arena. The new Daimler-Benz concern was headed by Ferdinand Porsche, who significantly updated the Mercedes lineup. It was he who launched the "compressor" series K, which included such a famous model as the Mercedes 24/110/160 PS with a six-cylinder engine. The car, equipped with a 6.3-liter engine, accelerated to a fantastic speed of 145 km per hour for those times, for which it was nicknamed the "death trap".
Hans Niebel, who succeeded Ferdinand Porsche in 1928, took an active part in the development of such machines as the Manheim-370 and Nurburg-500. In 1930, under his leadership, the Mercedes-Benz 770 was introduced to the car market with a powerful 200-horsepower engine, the working volume of which was 7.6 liters. In addition, the car was equipped with a supercharger. In the 1930s, Mercedes-200 cars and Mercedes-380 sports cars were presented to the public, on the basis of which the “compressor” Mercedes-Benz-540K models were built a little later.
In 1935, Max Seiler, the creator of the world's first mass-produced passenger car with a diesel power plant Mercedes-260D, turned out to be the chief designer. During his reign, machines were built that were actively used by the leaders of the Nazi movement. We are talking about the Mercedes-770, equipped with an oval beam frame, with a spring rear suspension.
During the Second World War, the German concern produced not only Mercedes cars, but also trucks. The hostilities caused great damage to the main plants of the company, whose activities were able to resume only a year after the end of the war.
One of the first post-war developments of the company was the Mercedes-180 model, designed in 1953 with a pontoon-type monocoque body. Three years later, the Mercedes-300SL Gullwing sports coupe with unusual gullwing doors, which at that time had no analogues in the world, saw the light of day.
In the late 50s, serial production of Mercedes-Benz was updated with Robert Bosch engines with a mechanical fuel injection system. One of the first models with this innovation was the Mercedes-Benz 220 SE.
The latest achievements of the automotive industry of those years were embodied in a completely new family of middle class cars, which was offered to customers in 1959. The Mercedes-220, 220S, 220SE models demonstrated the highest technical level of performance: a spacious luggage compartment, an absolutely independent suspension for all wheels, a stylish body with vertical headlights delighted fans of the German brand.
The executive class in the Mercedes line was introduced a little later - in 1963, with the release of the Mercedes-600 model. The car immediately became a contender for the title of the best on the planet for real comfort and prestige. It was equipped with a 6.3-liter engine with 250 horsepower and a four-speed "automatic". A pleasant addition to the development was a comfortable wheel suspension on pneumatic elements. The body length of the executive car was more than six meters.
The sports models were replaced by more modest ones, for example, the Mercedes-Benz 230 SL, known to the common people as the "pagoda" because of the original shape of the roof with the middle part just below the sidewalls. If ten years ago the German brand managed to firmly establish itself in the car market of post-war Europe, then by the end of the 60s the whole world was talking about Mercedes. A completely different scale of production gave rise to new styling standards, which made Mercedes cars even more elegant.
The first novelty of the 70s, which replaced the Pagoda, was the Mercedes SL R107 model, which successfully captured the American market and existed on it for 18 years.
The oil crisis of 1973 adversely affected car sales, but the company managed to get out of the predicament by launching the W114 / W115 series with more economical engines. Buyers wanted not only luxury and convenience, but also reliability. As a result, against the background of ruined competitors, the Mercedes brand stayed afloat.
In the early 80s, the legendary Gelandewagen appeared in the Mercedes lineup - an all-wheel drive SUV of the 460 series, which was famous for its high cross-country ability and reliability. The first such car was made to order for the Iranian Shah Mohammed Reza Pahlavi, a shareholder of Daimler-Benz.
In 1984, a fundamentally new range of business-class sedans, the Mercedes W124, began to be produced, once again showing the possibility of creating stylish and modern cars with a solid body. In the W124 family, the most advanced developments of that time were embodied. A plastic molding to direct air under the car improved the car's aerodynamics. Fuel consumption was reduced, as was the noise level from the oncoming air flow.
In 1990, a new product was released, which still has many fans today - the Mercedes 124 500E series. Equipped with a five-liter V-shaped "eight" with a capacity of 326 horsepower, this Mercedes has design differences from the usual W124 - it is not without reason that it is called a "wolf in sheep's clothing." The legendary “top”, assembled at the Porsche factory, received a rear suspension with hydropneumatic level control, a catalyst doubled in size, an LH-Jetronic electronic injection system instead of the traditional KE-Jetronic system. The external differences between the “top” and the rest of the “Mercedes” of the 124 series are extended wheel arches and the presence of additional foglights at the bottom of the front bumper.
Mercedes W124 500E is widely used in the CIS countries and is widely recognized in show business circles and mafiosi. Among the famous owners of the model are director Nikita Mikhalkov, musicians Yuri Loza, Dmitry Malikov, politician Gennady Zyuganov. "Top" - a real legend of the 90s - was captured in the serial film "Brigade".
By the beginning of the new millennium, the Mercedes lineup was expanded twice: instead of five classes of cars (which were in 1993), there were ten. In 2005, new S- and CL-class models were launched, demonstrating the brand's new style with retro elements. Stuffed with the latest technology, the S65 CL65 AMG with a powerful V12 under the hood became the flagship of the series, instead of the 600 models.
The C-class also went through an update: in 2007, the premiere of the new Mercedes W204 sedan and station wagon with three performance lines took place.
In 2008, the Mercedes lineup was replenished with the CLC-class (Comfort-Leicht-Coupe - translated as “easy comfortable coupe”).
In the first decade of the 21st century, the Mercedes lineup included GL- and GLK-class SUVs (Gelandewagen-Leicht-Kurz - translated as “short light SUV”).
The new E-Class W212 family, launched in early 2009, is making huge strides in terms of economic and environmental performance. Instead of gasoline engines with superchargers - engines with a new type of direct injection CGI with twin turbocharging.
Now the German brand Mercedes-Benz is associated with the buyer with reliability, high quality workmanship and a rich history.
Model range Mercedes
The Mercedes-Benz lineup includes compact cars of the small middle class, serious business class sedans, executive segment, SUVs, coupes, convertibles, roadsters and minivans.
Mercedes cost
The cost of Mercedes-Benz depends on which class the selected car belongs to. The most inexpensive are A-class five-doors priced from 900 thousand rubles. The cost of a middle-class Mercedes varies from one and a half million to four. Business class reaches six million, executive - up to eight. One of the most expensive models is the Mercedes-Benz SLS AMG roadster for 10 million.
Here you will learn a little more.
As you know, Karl Benz and Gottlieb Daimler invented the car, truck and motorcycle, so Mercedes-Benz likes to emphasize that they know better than others how to make cars. Today we remembered the significant creations of the Stuttgarters.
To put it mildly, this is not the most perfect car. And not the fastest, and not the most comfortable. And he appeared even before the merger of Mercedes and Benz. And outwardly not much different from the stroller. But there is one very important nuance - this is the first car in the world. It is the Patent Motorwagen (the name itself means “motor trolley patent”) that allows the Stuttgart people to proudly say that it was they who invented the car.
The drive supercharger or simply the compressor is the node that distinguished Mercedes-Benz from other manufacturers, because the Stuttgart cars suddenly became the fastest and most powerful in all of Europe. The compressor Mercedes-Benz 500th and 700th again brought the brand to the first roles in the world, and the most luxurious and desirable among them was the 540K (W29) with a roadster body.
Its 5.4-liter inline 8-cylinder engine produced 180 hp, which allowed it to accelerate to 170 km / h - a huge speed by the standards of 1936. Moreover, the supercar of the late 30s gained 160 km / h in just 1/4 mile! And this despite the mass of 2.3 tons.
In addition, this is the most expensive Mercedes-Benz in history - Formula 1 promoter Bernie Ecclestone paid a fantastic $11,770,000 for it in 2011! Why such money? Firstly, beauty, and secondly, for exclusivity - after all, only 25 roadsters were built.
Mercedes-Benz 600 (W100). It is now that Daimler AG is forced to use the Maybach brand to enter the ultra-luxury segment, and in fact from 1963 to 1981 the coolest car in the world was Mercedes-Benz without any sub-brands. Four- and six-door sedans, limousines and landau 600 Grosser Mercedes (W100) became a living symbol of the time when cars with a three-pointed star stood on a par with Rolls-Royce and Bentley.
The W100 impressed not only with its solid appearance and size, but also with its technical perfection. Air suspension, hydraulic drive of windows, sunroof, trunk lid and even doors, V-shaped 8-cylinder M100 engine with a volume of 6.3 with mechanical injection with a power of 250 hp. and with a torque of 500 Nm, a 4-speed automatic, the Mercedes-Benz looked like an alien from another planet against the backdrop of conservative Rolls-Royce.
Not surprisingly, there was hardly a single dictator, billionaire, drug dealer or monarch (with the exception of the English queen, who understandably preferred Rolls-Royce) in the world, who did not have a W100 in the garage. And for the Pope, they even released a car with a throne instead of a back sofa.
There is no more successful large roadster in the world than the Mercedes-Benz SL, and virtually every generation of the model has made history. The very first SL was a 300SL Gullwing sports car devoid of a roof and original doors, it immediately became popular, the second generation - the legendary Pagoda turned out to be even more successful, but it was the third generation with the factory index R107 that finally conquered the world and destroyed all competitors.
It was equipped with in-line six-cylinder engines with a volume of 2.8 and 3.0, as well as a V8 with a volume of 3.5, 3.8, 4.2, 4.5, 5.0 and 5.6 liters. The third generation roadster was produced from 1972 to 1989 - only the G-Class remained on the assembly line longer in the history of the brand! Moreover, the loyalty of roadster buyers was so great that it remained on the assembly line, even when in 1981 the C107 platform coupe gave way to the more modern C126.
During the time that the R107 remained in production, the W114 sedan, on the platform of which it was built, replaced the W123, and then the W124 replaced it! Yes, despite the letter S in the title, the roadster was built on the basis of the then E-class. In just 18 years, 237,287 roadsters were built.
Comfort, status, the highest quality of workmanship, indestructibility and advanced technologies - these were Mercedes-Benz in the 1970s and 1980s. And the absolute embodiment of these qualities was the W123, which carried them to the masses. In Stuttgart, they were just beginning to think about creating more compact models, and there was no question of reducing the quality.
The 123rd was a dream and a symbol of the life success of any European, a symbol of German thoroughness and quality. German taxi drivers even went on strike, demanding the continuation of the production of the model! Perhaps it was the W123 that became the last Mercedes-Benz with million-plus engines.
Despite the fact that the E-class in the back of the W124 and the C-class in the back of the W203 were a little short of the result of the W123, this particular car is the most popular Mercedes-Benz in history - 2,696,514 found their customers from 1976 to 1985 sedans, station wagons and coupes.
There have been many setbacks in the history of the Stuttgart brand, but only once did it lead to the birth of one of the most legendary cars in the history of Mercedes-Benz - the W460 SUV. Initially, Geländewagen was developed for the Iranian army by order of Shah Mohammed Reza Pahlavi, but in 1979 the Islamic Revolution took place in the country and the order was canceled.
For the Bundeswehr, the G-Wagen turned out to be expensive, and the Germans had to urgently think about how to sell the SUV to civilians. In 1990, the G-Classe was divided into two families: the spartan W461 and the more luxurious W463. So Geländewagen, together with Range Rover, can be considered one of the creators of the luxury SUV segment.
Over time, V8s and even V12s appeared under the hood, AMG versions were added to the range, and the German army managed to find a budget for the purchase of Mercedes SUVs. The G-Class was hopelessly outdated 20 years ago, several times the model was about to be retired, but a successful restyling in 2012 raised demand to the skies.
The S-class in the back of the W126 did not become as significant a car in Russia as its followers, but in the history of the brand, this executive sedan has forever remained the best. Yes, it did not have a V12, a 7.0-liter engine and a Pullman version, but it was in this generation that the glory of the flagship Mercedes reached its zenith.
The W126 was offered with four inline-sixes of 2.6, 2.8, 3.0 and 3.5 liters, V8 3.8, 4.2, 5.0 and 5.6, as well as 3.0 and 3.5 turbodiesels. The S-Class also received a version with a longer wheelbase. W126 - one of the first cars developed according to modern canons - crash tests, blowing in a wind tunnel. By the way, it was on it that ABS appeared for the first time in history.
The most reliable, the most comfortable, the most advanced and, most importantly, the most popular - from 1982 to 1991, the W126 sold 818,046 copies. For comparison, the second most popular S-Class in history is the W221, which was purchased by… only 516,000 customers!
Of course, not only the strengths of Mercedes-Benz, but also the weaknesses of competitors led to such success. The BMW 7-Series was still quite a modest car in the 1980s, the entire Lexus brand was just in the plans, and Audi had not yet gained strength to go into the executive segment, so successful people on both sides of the ocean simply had no choice.
The annual Geneva International Motor Show is one of the top five car shows in the world. One of the most anticipated events is the premiere of the new brainchild of Mercedes-Benz - the GLC Coupe.
