The first vehicles to wear the Mercedes-Benz name appeared in 1926. Although Benz had been producing his Benz Patent-Motorwagen, widely regarded as the world's very first production car, since 1885, it wasn't until the merger that the company took the name Mercedes from the daughter of another of its founders, Emil Jellinek. From relatively humble beginnings Mercedes-Benz was soon building elegant, luxurious cars as well as experimental streamlined vehicles designed to push the boundaries of speed in the early days of the automobile.
A tradition of excellence
Mercedes-Benz can best be illustrated through a mainstay of its history: the flagship Mercedes-Benz S-Class sedan. The S-Class has long been the benchmark for passenger cars, setting the bar for its competition and, thanks to its premium pricing, bringing features to market that go on to become standard equipment on all cars within a few years. The S-Class is renowned for introducing energy-dissipating crumple zones, anti-lock brakes, and cruise control in the name of safety. More recently the S-Class has debuted automatic braking, cylinder deactivation and a system that scans the road ahead for potholes and primes the suspension to soak up the bumps and keep its occupants in the lap of luxury.
