The typically Teutonic efficiency of this site suits the image of Mercedes-Benz, and any apparent austerity quickly gives way to a wealth of information once your investigation begins.
On the left side of the page is a listing of options for exploration, and clicking on “How It All Began” opens a page where the components of the company’s earliest history can be found among the row of bullets along the bottom of Gottlieb Daimler’s photo. Each one brings up another segment of that story from Daimler’s 1834 birth through the 1926 merger that created Mercedes-Benz AG.
Next choice is “Gallery of Legends,” where can be found thumbnail profiles of the many milestone machines that mark the marque’s passage through time, from the original 1886 Benz Patent Motor Car to 2003’s Mercedes-Benz SLR McLaren supercar.
Finally, Magic Moments in Racing History will provide access to a string of vignettes documenting the transition of the company’s competition cars from the early “White Elephants” through the subsequent “Silver Arrows” and beyond.
Anyone seeking to expand their appreciation for the history of Mercedes-Benz should benefit from a visit to this site.
