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.
Auto giant Mercedes Benz has always been famous for its luxurious cars. They took first place in various ratings and Grand Prix, took cups in Formula 1 and racing tracks of famous stadiums and world championships.
Mercedes sports cars- this is power and beauty, this is strength and grace, this is freedom and luxury in one bottle. For example, jointly released with MacLaren Corporation, Mercedes Benz SLR or Mercedes Benz S. These supercars cannot go unnoticed, because they look presentable with almost perfect driving performance.
The luxurious appearance of the flagship Mercedes-Benz S Coupe sedan stands on a wheelbase of 2945 mm, the length of the car is 5027 mm, the width is 1899 mm, and the height is 1411 mm.
Like many other Mercedes sports models, the C-Class features a perfectly shaped steering wheel, a sporty type, and many models use the highest quality leather for interior trim. On the center console there is a touch panel, a monitor with a resolution of 480x240 pixels and an innovative premium sound system.
Mercedes sports cars cannot look cheap, so only the highest quality materials are used to decorate the interior and exterior of cars. In addition, often the owners of cars of this kind want some exclusive details, for example, manufacturers can offer Swarovski crystal inlaid headlights or the latest LED technology system. The status of the car can emphasize the design studio for Mercedes.
Naturally, Mercedes Benz sports has the best driving performance:
Sports suspension MAGIC BODY CONTROL will smooth out all the bumps in the road for the driver and passengers, as well as adjust the stiffness of the shock absorbers and the height of the clearance on the road.
Gasoline, with a volume of 4.7 liters and a capacity of 455 horsepower and a nine-speed automatic transmission, can accelerate a car to a maximum speed of 250 km / h.
Features such as a video review system, a collision avoidance system, as well as lane keeping control practically negate the possibility of creating an emergency on the roads.
Special carbon-ceramic brake mechanisms are responsible for the safety of not only the warrior, but also the passengers. Thanks to them, the supercar has the shortest braking distance.
In order to make the car look even more expensive and elegant, the Mercedes automaker offers owners a panoramic roof, a specialized exhaust system that can adjust the sound of the engine at the request of the driver, and for an additional fee even seats with a massage function and heated armrests and climate control with the ability to air ionization.
Among other things, an avid Mercedes follower can choose and buy Mercedes tracksuits to perfectly match his “swallow”.
Be that as it may, the Mercedes concern will always produce sports models, and each time they will become more and more perfect, pleasing their owners and satisfying the needs of even the most demanding motorists. The main thing is to have enough money to buy a car of this class, because this pleasure is not cheap. But you have to pay for comfort. And if this is comfort of the highest degree, and even under the auspices of the eminent Mercedes brand, then no money is a pity.

Every car brand has its own sporty versions of everyday cars. For example, BMW has an M-series, Audi has an RS, and the automotive giant Mercedes has an AMG. These cars won such success not only due to their characteristics, but to the charisma received due to the long-term sports history of this brand. Consider the 4 most technological brainchild of this company:
- Mercedes C63S AMG - the fastest sedan suitable for everyday driving
- Mercedes S63 AMG - the most comfortable coupe among all competitors
- Mercedes CLK GTR Super Sport is the most expensive and fastest supercar suitable for public roads
- Mercedes CLS AMG - the most manageable and balanced coupe
Interesting fact. Many sports Mercedes have a gray body color for a reason - this color emphasizes history. We are talking about the races of the last century, when the German company was so busy lightening the car that they refused to paint it in order to save a few kilograms of weight. Due to the lack of painting, the model turned out to be a metallic gray color.
Mercedes C63S AMG
This car today is the peak of engineering. The car allows the driver to sit in the back and keep the road on its own thanks to the autopilot. This technology allows you to build the course of the car, focusing on road markings.
The interior of the model consists of a perfect harmony of metal, leather and wood. The auto display shows oil pressure, turbine pressure and the distribution of torque supplied to the wheels. Inside there is even an air freshener with the signature smell of Mercedes. Just look at the photo of the interior of the Mercedes C63S AMG to be convinced of its perfection.
A 4-liter engine with two turbines produces 510 hp. which accelerate Mercedes to hundreds in 3.9 seconds. The main feature of this model is dynamic engine mounts instead of conventional pillows, which reduces the load on the motor.
The disadvantage of the C63S AMG is its appearance, because it looks almost the same as an ordinary C-class with a 1.8-liter engine. Visually, the AMG version is distinguished from this model: body kit, discs, brake calipers and side gills. But the essence of this car is not in pompous pathos, but in what lies inside: the cabin, engine and chassis.
Mercedes S63 AMG Coupe
It is a leader in the automotive industry. The sports Mercedes received this title due to the fact that it provides tremendous comfort and at the same time is as dynamic as possible. This is such a big achievement because car manufacturers face a problem when designing cars: the sportier the car, the less comfortable it is.
Absolutely all the best technologies achieved during the existence of the company are placed in the S63 AMG. He is so smart that he can stop for the driver in a dangerous situation and can warn of dangerous maneuvers in the stream.
A four-liter V-shaped engine is installed on the car, delivering 612 horsepower. To save fuel in such a powerful unit, a special system is installed that turns off 4 cylinders when the car is driving in a quiet mode.
Mercedes CLK GTR Super Sport
It’s worth starting a review of this car with incredible numbers: 2001, 710 horsepower, acceleration to hundreds in 3.1 seconds and a cost of one and a half million dollars.
Technology from sports racing has migrated to this Mercedes sports car, since 5 of these Mercedes were developed for races in Lehman. This car is listed in the Guinness Book of Records as the most expensive production car in the world. Despite this price, all copies were sold out very quickly. However, many rich people took these sports cars as an investment, since the series of these cars was limited to 25 copies. A few years later, these models were sold at an even higher price.
This 17-lane two-door racing car is faster than many contemporary Porsches, Ferraris and Lamborghinis.
Mercedes CLS AMG
This sports Mercedes is distinguished by perfect balance and handling, which is ensured by a 50 to 50 weight distribution, a lightweight aluminum body and a long wheelbase that allows the car to stay stable at high speeds. This fact was confirmed by multiple champion Michael Schumacher, driving a CLS AMG at great speed in a narrow tunnel.
The power of 571 horsepower on this car is produced by an eight-cylinder unit with a volume of 6.2 liters. The coupe hits 60 mph in 3.8 seconds, which isn't a colossal figure these days, but the focus was on handling rather than performance.
The Mercedes company introduced into this car not only technologies from Formula 1, but also the atmosphere, which can be seen by paying attention to the interior, made under the cockpit.
According to several publishers, this racing Mercedes received the title of car of the year in 2010.
Throughout its existence, Mercedes has set the bar for quality and progress. Mercedes sports cars have an ideology of combining comfort, safety and great power.
For a century now, the name Mercedes-Benz has been associated with some of the best cars in the world. And the most outstanding of them are prepared by AMG, a small company that will soon turn 50 years old. What cars brought worldwide fame to the German brand - further in the review.
In the 1950s, Mercedes-Benz retired from motorsport. And in 1967, two engineers in a small garage opened their own business. They began to “tuning” production cars and succeeded quite well in this. The best of their cars often don't really stand out from the crowd, but they're capable of more than some supercars. The AMG name has become synonymous with high performance and world-class innovation. This took years of work, during which outstanding sports models were created.
1. Mercedes-Benz 300 SEL 6.8 (1971)
AMG's first success was the racing Mercedes-Benz 300 SEL 6.8, which was nicknamed the "Red Pig". The car was prepared for touring car racing against smaller and lighter Alfa Romeos, BMWs, Opels, Fords.
AMG took a large executive sedan and increased the volume of the 8-cylinder engine from 6.3 to 6.8 liters. As a result, the motor began to produce power up to 428 hp. and torque up to 610 Nm.
In 1971, the car entered the race for the first time, where it impressed everyone, immediately winning in its class. "Red Pig" became famous as "the fastest sedan in the world." The car accelerated from 0 to 100 km / h in 4.2 seconds, and its maximum speed is 265 km / h.
2. Mercedes-Benz 300SL AMG (1974)
The next high-profile project from AMG is the improved Mercedes-Benz 300SL. Considered a classic these days, the basic gull-wing sports coupe has been redesigned for a year. The inline 6-cylinder engine was replaced with a 4.5-liter V8, almost every body panel was changed, a new interior was installed.
3. Mercedes-Benz 190E AMG (1984)
In the early 1980s, the popularity of the German Touring Car Championship (DTM) began to grow and Mercedes-Benz decided to build their race car based on the 190E compact sedan. The order for the main, "branded" cars went to Cosworth, and AMG began to make cars for private teams, and very successfully. What's more, the production 190E has been given the AMG Power Pack to boost power by an additional 30 horsepower.
4. Mercedes-Benz E-Klasse W124 "Hammer" (1986)
By the mid-1980s, AMG's fame had grown so much that Mercedes-Benz began to refer to the "tuning" firm as its own department. In 1986, AMG introduced the E-Klasse sedan, converted into a sports car with a 5.6-liter V8 engine producing 385 hp. The car became known as "The Hammer" ("Hammer"), accelerated to 300 km / h and could compete with the best of supercars. Acceleration to 100 km / h took only 5 seconds, and this is on a spacious car with a luxurious interior and a huge trunk. Such tuning did not go unnoticed and AMG became one of the leaders in improving the performance of cars.
5. Mercedes-Benz C36 AMG (1993)
In 1990, AMG officially merged with Mercedes-Benz and started building their first production car based on the C-Klasse W202. The new C36 for 1993 was a response to the emergence of a competitor, the BMW M3 E36.
The tuned inline 6-cylinder engine produced 276 horsepower, 36 more than the M3. The C36 also became the first "pumped" Mercedes-Benz model in several decades. Between 1993 and 1997, 5,221 impressive C36s were built.
6. Mercedes-Benz SL73 AMG (1999)
From the outside, the SL73 looked almost exactly like a regular SL-Klasse roadster, but under the hood was a huge 7.3-liter V12 that developed 525 horsepower. In two years, only 85 SL73 AMG cars were assembled, one of which was owned by Horatio Pagani, the creator of the Pagani Zonda.
7. Mercedes-Benz CLK GTR (1997)
With an eye on racing in the FIA GT series, Mercedes-Benz and AMG have embarked on yet another joint project. The result was the CLK GTR, the German firm's first supercar and, at the time, the most expensive car in the world. It stood out for its incredible speed (330 km/h) and advanced technology. The car was a resounding success at the FIA GT races and the 24 Hours of Le Mans.
8. Mercedes-Benz G55 AMG (1999)
AMG is famous for its ability to get the most out of any Mercedes-Benz model, but it was the G55 that showed just how crazy German cars can be. The famous G-Klasse SUV was equipped with an improved suspension, reinforced brakes and a 5.4-liter 500-horsepower V8 engine.
The result was a 2.5-ton Jeep that had more power than the Ferrari 360 Stradale and accelerated from 0 to 100 km/h in 5 seconds. "Pumped" models Gelaendewagen G63 and G65 are still produced, including with a 6.0-liter 612-horsepower V12.
9. Mercedes-Benz SLS 63 AMG (2010)
The Mercedes-Benz SLS AMG is a car notable for several reasons. The gull-wing doors and rounded tail are reminiscent of the 1950s 300SL, while the 6.3-litre V8 engine is AMG's first from the ground up. The model was produced for 4 years and during this time Mercedes-Benz became an equal competitor for Ferrari and Porsche.
10. Mercedes-AMG GT3 (2016)
The latest development of the Mercedes-AMG GT3 is specially tailored for racing requirements. Like previous Mercedes-AMG GT models, the car received a lightweight aluminum and carbon fiber body and a new 6.2-liter V8 engine. It's a serious competitor to the Porsche 911 GT3 and also an attractive road car.
German Mercedes-Benz cars are known not only for their high power and high speed. The company also cares about the environment,. Also, cars with a "sight" on the hood are consistently included in the ratings.
