The stuff that dreams are made of: black-and-white chequer
Right from the outset the Mercedes-Benz brand stood for sporting successes as well as comfort and luxury. The cars bearing the famous three-pointed star have put
their performance to the test time and again – on the road and on the race track. The first vehicle bearing the name ‘Mercedes’ was delivered to its owner in 1900.
It was the first modern motor car, boasted 35hp and was a racing car. In 1952 the 300 SL, the legendary gull-wing model, first saw the light of day – and as the victorious
winner it saw the chequered flags at the 24 Hours of Le Mans, the Bern Grand Prix and the Carrera Panamericana – in spectacular fashion.
In 1967 the AMG sports car manufactory was founded, and in 1971 it caused a sensation. At the 24 Hours the legendary ‘Red Sow’, a bright red 300 SEL 6.8 AMG, sped
over the finishing line as the champion of its class – and into the history books. Countless victories in various different racing series followed – above all in the DTM.
For some years now the engineers at Mercedes-AMG and Mercedes-Benz have been joining forces to develop the super sports car of modern times. They are striving
for the maximum possible – with the same passion as their predecessors but using the technology of the future. The SLS AMG sees the black-and-white flag fall.
Mission accomplished. A new legend has been created.
