1978 Mercedes-Benz C111-III - Mercedes-Benz Museum Stuttgart The C111 was a series of experimental automobiles produced by Mercedes-Benz in the 1960s and 1970s. The company was experimenting with new engine technologies, including Wankel engines, diesel engines, and turbochargers, and used the basic C111 platform as a testbed. Other experimental features included multi-link rear suspension, gull-wing doors and a luxurious interior with leather trim and air conditioning. The company decided not to adopt the Wankel engine and turned to diesel experiments for the second and third C111s. The C111-III was powered by a 170 kW (228 hp) at 4,500 rpm straight-five OM617 turbocharged diesel that broke nine diesel and gasoline speed records. With more aerodynamic bodywork that gave it an air drag coefficient of 0.191, the C111 eventually reached 322 km/h (200 mph) at the Nardò Ring in 1978, and averaged 16.0 liters/100 km at 316 km/h (14.7 mpg at 195.4 mph) over a 12-hour cruise. #mercedes #mercedesbenz #mercedesc111 #dieselengine #speedrecords #experimental #mercedeslife #mercedeslifestyle #mercedesheritage #classiccars #classiccar #racing #traveling #travelgram #travel #enjoyinglife #carmuseum #museum #raremercedes #mercedesmuseum #c111 #racingcars #rarecars #vintagecars #sportcars #supercars #photooftheday #history #carhistory #prototype (at Mercedes-Benz Museum) https://www.instagram.com/p/Cn-FMxToSp-/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

1966 Mercedes SLX Concept - Mercedes-Benz Museum Stuttgart In mid-1960s Mercedes-Benz considered producing mid-engined successors to SL300 Gullwing. For this purpose Mercedes-Benz design department with stylists Giorgio Battistella and Paul Bracq, worked on a car, internally known as the SLX project. The oldest sketches in the corporate archives date from May 1962 and show an extended Pagoda SL with a gullwing radiator grille. Later drawings show a long road that even included shooting-brake designs. It wasn’t until the fall of 1965 that the final design was finalized and in the spring of 1966 a 1:1 scale wooden model underwent testing in a wind tunnel. Sadly, after that Mercedes-Benz Board of Management to discontinue the SLX project. The SLX study without interior then rolled into the huge vehicle collection and was almost forgotten until it was shown at the Techno Classica in Essen in 2019. The SLX prototype was an important creative development step towards the C 111, which was presented three years later. #mercedes #mercedesbenz #mercedesslx #mercedesconcept #midengine #designstudy #mercedeslife #mercedeslifestyle #mercedesheritage #classiccars #classiccar #conceptcar #traveling #travelgram #travel #enjoyinglife #carmuseum #museum #raremercedes #mercedesmuseum #slx #1of1 #rarecars #vintagecars #sportcars #supercars #photooftheday #history #carhistory #1960s (at Mercedes-Benz Museum) https://www.instagram.com/p/CoDQZHPoSrH/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

Japanese Emperor Hirohito's Mercedes-Benz 770 Grand Mercedes Pullman limousine The chrysanthemums on the doors reveal the owner of this car: the Japanese Emperor Hirohito received it in 1935. A particular feature of this Pullman limousine is the special protection equipment which Mercedes-Benz engineered early on. The occupants were protected from possible attacks by steel armour in the roof and doors and special glazing, as thick as a finger, for the side windows, the rear screen and the partition.
