Car fans once dreamed of top-of-the-range or super sports cars. Since the turn of the millennium, however, hypercars have been regarded as the ultimate in automotive transportation. But whether they offer real driving pleasure is doubtful. To prove this thesis, this article takes you through the development of the sports car up to the present day and shows many of the cars mentioned in pictures.
The successful racing career of the Mercedes GP racing car from 1914, powered by an innovative four-valve, four-cylinder engine that revved higher than all its competitors, lasted 16 years. Equipped only with rear brakes, the car won the French Grand Prix in 1914 thanks to its extra power, while the competition already had brakes on all wheels. The concept was so successful that victories were possible again and again over a period of around 15 years. This report will briefly go into some technical details, summarize the racing successes and show the car in many historical and current pictures.
Six-wheeled off-road vehicles with the three-pointed star have not just been around since 2014. Almost 90 years earlier, they were already experimenting with a Mercedes-Benz for rough terrain in Stuttgart. The off-road Benz began as an experiment for the army of the Weimar Republic and ended up as a status symbol of the leadership in the Third Reich. This article tells the story of the Mercedes models G 1 to G 4 and shows them in many historical pictures.
