This all-new DVD brings you the fascinating story behind one
of the oldest and most successful producers of cars, driven by
royalty, racers and the very rich since the turn of the century.
Discover how Mercedes-Benz has consistently created designs which
combine the highest levels of luxury with the newest technology
to exude an opulence maintained for over a hundred years. Trace
the story of former business rivals, Gottlieb Daimler and Karl
Benz, who came together in 1926 to form this legendary company.
Along with pioneering engineers like Ferdinand Porsche, they
went on to build an automobile empire under the beautiful but
mysterious Mercedes name badge - one of the best-known trademarks
around. Superb racing and factory line footage along with original
advertising allow you to follow the evolution of the three-pointed
star from the turn of the century to the huge corporation of
today, which incorporates the famous brands Maybach, Chrysler,
Jeep, Dodge and smart. Special features include an in-depth look at the birth and
development of Chrysler before its inception into Mercedes-Benz
AG in 1998, using unique archive road, race, and safety-testing
footage. Also includes detailed features on classic Mercedes-Benz
models including the SS, 300SL, 500K, 190SL and footage of the
recent E-Class, SLK, and SLR McLaren models in stunning locations,
plus exclusive in-factory shots of the new F500. Whether you've ever been fortunate enough to own a Mercedes-Benz or you're just an admirer, this is the DVD for you! |
