The legend of the Mercedes-Benz wagon began with the W 123 model. It gave owners another dimension to an already great sedan by offering more versatility combined with Mercedes-Benz engineering and luxury to make life easier. The extra cargo space could be swapped for a third row of seats, bringing more people along for the ride. That was when the station wagon was the way to go for families on the move.  

  

The station wagon is still here. Mercedes-Benz has one that still evokes memories of the past with the technology and performance of today – the 2025 E 450…

One measurement of a car is how fast it can go. Time is that measurement. In a hypercar, time is meaningless, but measurable. The Mercedes-AMG® ONE has been the fastest production car on the Nürburgring-Nordschleife since October 2022. On one of the most challenging racecourses in the world, the question was asked whether it could beat its own time. 

 

Mercedes-AMG® brand ambassador and DTM driver Maro Engel answered that question by beating his own record in September. With an officially measured and notarized time of 6:29.090 minutes for the 12.944-mile track, the hypercar…

The Introduction of Pure Excellence 

The C111 was first shown at the 1969 Internationale Automobil-Ausstellung Frankfurt, or IAA for short, which translates to the International Automobile Exhibition. However, it is known as the International Motor Show Germany...
