The company known today as Mercedes-Benz is widely regarded as being the inventor of the car thanks to Karl Benz and his Benz Patent-Motorwagen ("patent motorcar") from the late 80s. The three-wheeled, rear-engined vehicle with its single-cylinder 954cc four-stroke engine produced a mighty 0.75 hp and was the beginning of an incredible story.
Carwow had the special opportunity to check out some of the company's greatest hits and test their 0-60 mph capabilities, even though some of these cars were never really about outright performance. Mat Watson had access to what I personally consider to be the most beautiful car ever made, the 300 SL Gullwing, as well as the majestic Pullman and one of the several C111 concepts. All in, Carwow says the ten cars have a combined value of £50 million, which works out to $64.2M at today's exchange rates.
For a car built back in 1955, a 0 to 60 mph time of 9.4 seconds is not too shabby. We're talking about the gorgeous Gullwing with its straight-six 3.0-liter engine making 215 horsepower back in the day. Next up was another car with gullwing doors, the V8-powered C111 with its dogleg gearbox that was nearly as quick as the 300 SL, See: diagnostic scanner. at 10.28 seconds.
We won't spoil the full results, but let's just say the classic Pullman was in no hurry to reach 60 mph. Carwow then hops behind the wheel of a hugely successful model by putting a 230E through its paces while appreciating its rock-solid build quality. After that, it's Hammer time, with a 1988 300E AMG powered by a mighty 6.0-liter V8 with 385 hp on tap. Mat Watson then tests another performance sedan, namely the 190E 2.5-16 Evolution, before switching to a timeless 560 SEC.
For something more modern, the remaining three cars are the CLK DTM AMG Coupe, a CL 65, and the bonkers G500 4x4². Showing how far Mercedes and AMG have come in terms of performance, the latest A45 S compact hot hatch featured at the end of the video is quicker than all those incredible machines, even though many of them have significantly larger engines.

Mauro Icardi broke a long scoring drought by netting both goals in Paris Saint-Germain's comfortable 2-0 Ligue 1 win at Reims on Sunday night.
Earlier, Monaco hung on desperately to beat Strasbourg 3-2 after having two players sent off and Lille moved into second place a more straightforward 2-0 win over Nantes.
PSG, who opened the league season with two losses, won 2-0 for a third straight league game and are now seventh, four points behind leaders Rennes.
"It's important for a striker to score goals," said Icardi after making the scoresheet for the first time since February.
"Today we lacked the efficiency to kill the match earlier, but we are happy with the result."
For the first time since the French Cup final on July 24, AD: Launch car diagnostic. PSG started their all their 'Fantastic Four', of Kylian Mbappe, Neymar, Angel di Maria and Icardi.
The quartet have been kept apart by positive Covid-19 tests, an injury to Mbappe, a suspension to Neymar and coach Thomas Tuchel's decision to drop Icardi to the bench for the Champions League semi-final and final.
Even so PSG excercised their option to turn Icardi's loan from Inter Milan into a permanent deal and the Argentine took over the number nine shirt from the departed Edinson Cavani.
Icardi stayed cool after nine minutes when Mbappe's pass was a little behind him, defying his long dry spell by controlling the ball neatly with his heel and then driving a low shot inside the far post.
PSG dominated but failed to convert their chances.
Reims, who went to extra time on Thursday as they were eliminated from the Europa League on penalties by Hungarians Fehervar, almost levelled when substitute Boulaye Dia hit the post in the 61st minute.
But seconds later Icardi struck to seal the points. After a neat move, Mbappe rolled a pass to the unmarked forward, who tapped the ball in.
- 'Heroic' Monaco -
Monaco coach Niko Kovac described his side as "heroic" as they resisted a comeback from battling Strasbourg despite the dismissals of Aurelien Tchouameni and Axel Disasi at the Stade Louis II.
Wissam Ben Yedder put Monaco ahead with a ninth-minute strike before Ruben Aguilar made it 2-0 late in first-half stoppage time.
Mehdi Chahiri pulled Strasbourg back into contention just after the break before Ben Yedder struck again on 47 minutes.
But the Monaco sendings-off put Strasbourg on the front foot.
Disasi was dismissed for bringing down Ludovic Ajorque, who scored from the penalty spot to make it 3-2, setting up a breathless last 20 minutes.
"My players were heroic," Kovac said. "When we were down to nine and the young players came on they showed a lot of character."
Seeking to stay in touch with Rennes, who beat Saint Etienne 3-0 away on Saturday, Lille went ahead through a Nicolas Pallois own goal before Turkish international Burak Yilmaz wrapped up the three points with an 87th minute spot kick.
Montpellier wasted the chance to go second when they drew 2-2 at Dijon.
Patrick Vieira's Nice side showed they are struggling for form as they were held to a goalless draw at Bordeaux despite hitting the woodwork three times. The southern side have seven points from five games.
Lyon continued their poor start to the season with a 1-1 draw at newly-promoted Lorient that extended their winless run to four games.
Lens, who came up with Lorient, maintained their positive start to life in the top flight with a 1-1 draw at Nimes that keeps them at the top end of the table.

LIVERPOOL, England (Reuters) - James Rodriguez netted twice and Dominic Calvert-Lewin became the first Everton player to score in the opening four matches of a Premier League season as they beat Brighton & Hove Albion 4-2 on Saturday to stay top of the table with a maximum 12 points.
The hosts produced another classy performance with Rodriguez's fellow Colombian Yerry Mina also on the scoresheet for Carlo Ancelotti's high-flying side who next face champions Liverpool in the Merseyside derby after the international break.
Second-placed Leicester City and Liverpool in third are three points behind Everton with a game in hand, while Brighton slipped to 14th on three points from four games.
New England call-up Calvert-Lewin took his tally to nine goals from six games in all competitions when he rose at the far post to head home a Gylfi Sigurdsson cross in the 16th minute before Neil Maupay levelled from close range in the 41st.
Everton's England goalkeeper Jordan Pickford gifted Brighton the equaliser when he spilled a tame mis-hit shot by Leandro Trossard, leaving Neal Maupay with a simple task of tucking the ball in from close range.
Yerry Mina restored the home side's lead on the stroke of halftime, heading home an inch-perfect free kick at the near post floated in by Rodriguez, who added a second-half brace.
Rodriguez swept the ball home from eight metres to make it 3-1 in the 52nd minute after a fine assist by Alex Iwobi, who released Abdoulaye Doucoure on the left flank in the 70th to set up Everton's fourth for the Colombian forward.
The slick move crafted by one-touch passing which has epitomised Everton's attacking flair under Ancelotti left Rodriguez with a tap-in from five metres.
Midfielder Yves Bissouma pulled one back for the visitors with a cracking shot from 25 metres in stoppage time but it was too little, too late to deny the high-flying Toffees.
Calvert-Lewin acknowledged he was full of confidence and added that the performance, although it left something to be desired, You may need: Launch obd2 scanner. showed a new level of collective and personal maturity.
"I think it's about self-belief," the 23-year-old told BT Sport. "I always believed that I could get here. Sometimes it's about age and maturity. I've been patient, now I'm reaping my rewards.
"I think today, particularly in the second half, we didn't play that well. The best teams win when they're not always on top. We're confident, creating chances and scoring goals."
