Download or read book Mercedes Benz Saloon Coupe written by Nik Greene and published by The Crowood Press. This book was released on 2021-09-27 with total page 412 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: First produced in 1928, Mercedes-Benz Coupés became the embodiment of elegance and exclusivity on four wheels. Their design became an experience for all the senses, appealing to every emotion. Hans-Dieter Futschik, the designer responsible for many of the later Mercedes-Benz models, said of the Saloon Coupé: 'A shorter wheelbase compared with the saloons gives it different proportions that are almost sports car-like in character. The passenger compartment is set further back. This gives it a sportier look than a saloon. In addition, the greenhouse is smaller and more streamlined than the basic body. It looks like a small head set on a muscular body, exuding a powerful and more dynamic attitude... Everything radiates power, elegance and agility.' This complete guide includes an overview of early automotive history; pre-merger design from both Benz and Daimler; the historical protagonists and how they influenced the design; how design and fashion change vehicle shape; the continued development of Saloon Coupe design to suit every class and finally, the modern idea of the Coupe.

Download or read book Mercedes Benz Sport Light Coupe written by Nik Greene and published by The Crowood Press. This book was released on 2021-02-22 with total page 404 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In the very beginning, the automotive industry was dominated by open-top vehicles whose body shapes were very much based on the horse-drawn carriage, there were open and closed carriages and then there was the Coupe. These were developed from the type of carriage known as the Berlin coach, which was designed as a classic vehicle for individual luxury travel and prestige. This type of carriage offered an intimate atmosphere focused exclusively on the passengers; it did not even have space for luggage, it simply exuded style, elegance and luxury in every way. This first volume of the Mercedes-Benz Coupe book addresses the journey from what was a functional sports car design to what has become the incomparable Mercedes-Benz 'Sports Coupe'; its timeless body design has remained, even today both a dream car and a dream Coupe to anyone whom aspires to follow in the footsteps of the early individualists who chose style and elegance over practicality. With over 300 photographs and illustrations, this book includes: an overview of the early days of 'Sports-Car' design; the influences of aerodynamics on design evolution; early protagonists at Daimler-Benz and how they influenced design of the Coupe shape; how the Racing Coupe influenced what became the production Sport Coupe; the experimental and one-off prototypes, and finally the continuation of the Super Sport Light concept through the 'S-Class' range.

Book excerpt: The following list of historical moments in Mercedes-Benz history offers a captivating glimpse into the brand's remarkable evolution over the past century.

With a legacy rooted in innovation and luxury, Mercedes-Benz has consistently pushed boundaries and redefined automotive excellence. Spanning from the late 19th century to the present day, these moments highlight the brand's unwavering commitment to driving progress. The iconic Motorwagen patent of 1886 by Karl Benz serves as a starting point, setting the stage for a series of groundbreaking achievements. The merger of DMG and Benz & Cie. in 1926 was a pivotal juncture that united two visionary forces under the banner of Mercedes-Benz, a brand synonymous with sophistication and engineering prowess. As we move through the decades, the introduction of iconic models like the 300SL "Gullwing" and the A-Class sedan showcase the brand's adaptability and ability to resonate with changing consumer preferences. From technological innovations such as the introduction of airbags in the early 1980s to the recent electrification efforts with the EQ sub-brand, Mercedes-Benz consistently demonstrates its ability to anticipate trends and set new standards. This list underscores the brand's holistic approach to automotive excellence, blending design, performance, safety, and sustainability. By revisiting these historical moments, we gain insight into a journey defined by resilience, vision, and an enduring pursuit of pushing the limits of what is possible in the world of automobiles.

Download or read book The Devil s Mercedes written by Robert Klara and published by Macmillan. This book was released on 2017-03-07 with total page 336 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In 1938, Mercedes-Benz began production of the largest, most luxurious limousine in the world. A machine of frightening power and sinister beauty, the Grosser 770K Model 150 Offener Tourenwagen was 20 feet long, seven feet wide, and tipped the scales at 5 tons. Its supercharged, 230-horsepower engine propelled the beast to speeds over 100 m.p.h. while its occupants reclined on glove-leather seats stuffed with goose down. Armor plated and equipped with hidden compartments for Luger pistols, the 770K was a sumptuous monster with a monstrous patron: Adolph Hitler and the Nazi party. Deployed mainly for propaganda purposes before the war, the hand-built limousines—in which Hitler rode standing in the front seat—motored through elaborate rallies and appeared in countless newsreels, swiftly becoming the Nazi party’s most durable symbol of wealth and power. Had Hitler not so thoroughly dominated the scene with his own megalomania, his opulent limousine could easily have eclipsed him. Most of the 770Ks didn’t make it out of the rubble of World War II. But several of them did. And two of them found their way, secretly and separately, to the United States. In The Devil’s Mercedes, author Robert Klara uncovers the forgotten story of how Americans responded to these rolling relics of fascism on their soil. The limousines made headlines, drew crowds, made fortunes and ruined lives. What never became public was how both of the cars would ultimately become tangled in a web of confusion, mania, and opportunism, fully entwined in a story of mistaken identity. Nobody knew that the limousine touted as Hitler’s had in fact never belonged to him, while the Mercedes shrugged off as an ordinary staff car—one later abandoned in a warehouse and sold off as government surplus—turned out to be none other than Hitler’s personal automobile. It would take 40 years, a cast of carnies and millionaires, the United States Army, and the sleuthing efforts of an obscure Canadian librarian to bring the entire truth to light. As he recounts this remarkable drama, Klara probes the meaning of these haunting hulks and their power to attract, excite and disgust. The limousines’ appearance collided with an American populous celebrating a victory even as it sought to stay a step ahead of the war’s ghosts. Ultimately, The Devil’s Mercedes isn’t only the story of a rare and notorious car, but what that car taught postwar America about itself.
