Mercedes-Benz
Germany · Founded 1926
The three-pointed star. Mercedes-Benz invented the automobile, then spent a century proving they still knew how to build one.
Heritage
Karl Benz built the first gasoline automobile in 1885. Mercedes combined luxury, engineering excellence, and motorsport success into a brand identity so powerful it became shorthand for automotive prestige. The 300SL Gullwing. The pagoda-roof SL. The W123 diesel that runs forever. The W124 that defined build quality. Before they chased BMW into the sport sedan market and plastered AMG badges on everything, Mercedes built cars that were overengineered, understated, and built to outlast their owners. The old ones still do.
