Car articles about Daimler by year
While Benz from Baden received a patent for his three-wheeled vehicle on January 29, 1886, the Swabian Daimler preferred to work on improving the petrol engine, which he installed in converted carriages. Finally, chief designer Wilhelm Maybach was given permission to build a Daimler car. In collaboration with the NSU knitting machine factory, the chassis of the world's first four-wheeled gasoline-powered motor car was built on November 11, 1888. This vehicle report tells the whole story of the creation of the automobile.
One famous brand of the past was Austro-Daimler. In 1899, the "Österreichische Daimler-Motoren-Gesellschaft" was founded in Wiener Neustadt, and in 1900 the first cars from the Daimler-Motoren-Gesellschaft in Stuttgart were produced under license. A highlight in the history of Austro-Daimler was the ADR swing-axle model, a design by Karl Rabe, whose sporty variant was the "Bergmeister" derived from it with the 3.6-liter 6-cylinder engine with 120 hp. This report describes the Austro-Daimler ADR on the basis of a sales brochure from 1928 and shows it in contemporary pictures and sales literature.
The Daimler cars from England are not as well known as the products from Daimler-Benz, which are called Mercedes-Benz. But the British were certainly able to set standards with their cars in terms of comfort and performance. But how did the name Daimler actually come to England? This report tells the story of the British Daimler and shows many models in over 100 historical pictures as well as in the sales literature of the time.
When Daimler presented the Dart, later renamed the SP 250, in 1959, the traditional British company was breaking new ground. For the first time, a sports car was produced with a plastic body and aimed at the American market. Despite the universally praised V8 engine and competitive driving performance, it did not work out. After just five years and 2,648 units produced, it came to an end. Today, the rare sports cars with their somewhat quirky appearance are popular classic cars and entice with their driving pleasure and beguiling openness. This report describes the brief history of the Daimler SP 250 and shows an example from 1960 in detail, supplemented with historical images and an original brochure.
Heads of state, company captains and monarchs - they appreciated the comfort and prestige of the Daimler limousine just as much as chauffeur services and car rental companies. The former Sandoz company car is one such example - an encounter with a luxury car for the price-conscious!
The most famous car wedges are called Lancia Stratos, Lotus Esprit or Maserati Boomerang, but the little-known Daimler Rapport Forté was at least as consistently shaped as the examples mentioned ... and significantly rarer. This article tells the story of the forgotten sports station wagon and shows it in current and historical pictures.
