10 Amazing Facts About Mercedes You Should Know by AutoJoshNG: 10:42am On Jan 04, 2017
Whether you use a Mercedes or not , you can’t help but give kudos to this awesome automobile company .What you should also know is there are some very interesting facts about Mercedes.

1. Mercedes-Benz produced both a hybrid vehicle and an electric vehicle in 1906!
2. Each Mercedes 500E was hand-built by Porsche and took a full 18 days to make.
3. Anti-Lock Brakes were first used in Mercedes-Benz cars in 1978. They have been standard equipment on all Mercedes-Benz cars since model year 1989.
4. In 1936, Mercedes-Benz made the first diesel-engined production passenger car – the 260D
5. In 1886, Karl Benz was awarded a German patent for the invention of “the first automobile” known as the Motorwagen. Karl’s quest was actually financed by his wife, Bertha, but because she was a married woman, she was not allowed to apply for the patent.
6. Every Mercedes-Benz model carries disc brakes at all four wheels as standard equipment. Front and rear brake systems on all cars are separately activated; if one system somehow failed, the second would take over to stop you.
7. The steering system of your Mercedes-Benz carries its own- tiny built-in shock absorber, to cushion road shocks and damp them out before they can affect your hands on the steering wheel.
8. Prior to painting, every Mercedes ­Benz body is drowned in a 52-ton primer bath. This rich anti-corrosion coating seeps into every nook and cranny.
9. When the primer has been baked on, 25 pounds of permanent plasticized undercoating are sprayed on to the underside and wheel wells of every Mercedes-Benz. Another safeguard against rust.
10. The seats in the Mercedes-Benz cars were designed and shaped in consultation .with leading orthopedic physicians. These contoured, firmly upholstered seats envelop you-supporting vital kidney, back and knee-joint areas.Is that not awesome !!

I hope you enjoyed that guys ,is there anything you would like to add ?

And people wonder why I love Mercedes-Benz. What's NOT to love?!?!

They are the pioneers of most features that other automobiles are now adopting: self-closing doors (doors shut if they aren't closed properly), heated massaging seats, wipers are activated automatically once there's any sign of rain, etc. (I stand to be corrected).

Every single 3 M-100 6.9 and 6.3V8 Mercedes engine was hand-built and tested on an engine dyno for just over four hours, 40 minutes of which were at full throttle.

The W140 S Class featured double glazed windows and a heater that could deliver hot air, even when the engine was off!

Mercedes-Benz manufactured car won't ever rattle nor squeak regardless of age. The reason being Mercedes cars are welded in 10000 places which don't allow any space for the loosening of bolts and nuts.

Their engines are also something to marvel at. Their engines include overhead camshafts that deliver smooth, silent, safe driving even at high speeds. The engines are put through rigorous testing by the engineers and they are hand signed by them before put into an automobile to guarantee the quality of the engine. Even their steering system includes a built-in shock absorber to provide the passengers with a far more comfortable ride.

The coat of paint on a Mercedes car is smooth and glossy as a result of amount of effort placed into it. There are actually four coats of paint sprayed on the car before being hand polished. The last coat of paint is salt resistant and is also done manually for that smooth, glossy touch you see on all Mercedes-Benz cars. Even the tires used are of superior quality and it is capable of carrying an entire load of passengers smoothly even during high speeds.

All Mercedes models include fully synchronized manual and automatic transmissions as standard features. Higher series models however only incorporate automatic transmission.

How many cars have these features?

Das Beste Oder Nichts!!!!

I think they have created a 'brand', let's not call it 'old glory'_ there is an accounting term for it. You get to a point in business where your brand name sells for you grin

It is not an accounting term, it is more of Marketing.

We have a lot of business that their brand sells for them and they hardly do any major advertising, E.g Ferrari, Benz and co.

Thanks much, I knew you would clarify.
I always thought such 'grace' is attributed to goodwill (being an intangible asset) _I stand to be corrected. That's why I felt it's an accounting term.
