There's no doubt about it : the Mercedes star burns brightest in the galaxy of car,marques. The company has been making motoring history and outstanding contributions in the fields of engineering and design, sport and politics since 1886. Such longevity has given rise to more facts, events, and details than any individual could hope to remember. This book contains everything anyone could possibly want to know about Mercedes, the changing history of the company and its glittëring contribution to motorsport. It covers bosses and employees, inventors, constructors, and racing drivers. But at its heart stands the product, the long cavalcade of cars produced over the years, each entry lavishly illustrated with photos and including technical specifications. With a foreword by Bruno Sacco.
