If Gustav Röhr had been able to assert himself at Mercedes-Benz, history would have taken a different course and entire model ranges would have been front-wheel drive. Despite extensive design work, however, all test vehicles were scrapped and, after Röhr's death, rear-wheel drive was retained until the launch of the A-Class 60 years later. This article looks back at an innovative phase at Mercedes-Benz and shows some of the few surviving photographs.
