Top 10 Mercedes-Benz

Published on October 1, 2016 in Top 10 by Mathieu St-Pierre

Mercedes-Benz is one of the most storied automakers in the world. In a little over 125 years of history, they have created some of the most memorable and historical pieces of rolling art and performance. A Top 25 list of Mercedes cars would have barely sufficed to cover the truly remarkable product they have created in a little over a century. We’re certain you can think of many that we’ve missed, but here are our Top 10 Mercs. 1928 Mercedes-Benz SSK: Designed by Ferdinand Porsche, 40 made, one of the fastest cars of its time.

1934 Mercedes-Benz 500K: Supercharged, super gorgeous and equipped with a fully independent suspension.

1936 Mercedes-Benz 260D: The world’s first production diesel car.

1954 Mercedes-Benz 300SL: The legendary Gullwing—fuel injected and one of the fastest cars of its day.

1971 Mercedes-Benz AMG 300SEL 6.8: The 420-horsepower “Red Pig” prepared by AMG for the 1971 24 hours of Spa.

1978 Mercedes-Benz 300T: Mercedes’ first station wagon. Nothing to add here.

1983 Mercedes-Benz 190E 2.3-16: Homologation special for joining in the DTM. A special car indeed, complete with Cosworth engine.

1989 Mercedes-Benz 500SL: Beautiful to this day. 322-horsepower V8 made it more so.

1990 Mercedes-Benz 500E: Big V8 engine, suspension and chassis tuning by Porsche.

2004 Mercedes-Benz SLR McLaren: Mercedes and McLaren. A match made in heaven with 557 horsepower.
