Book Synopsis

A dynamic exploration of Mercedes, one of the world's foremost car brands, with lively photography and witty observations about why we love it.

Karl Benz, who founded Mercedes-Benz, invented the first car. So, since 1879, Mercedes-Benz has been at the forefront of innovation. With its superior quality, sleek look, and iconic three-pointed star logo, it's a car brand with true global power and recognition. It has produced some of the fastest cars in the world, such as the 2022 Mercedes-AMG ONE hybrid model, which can reach speeds of 219 miles per hour.

This fun and fascinating book, written by car-enthusiast and Mercedes owner Vaughan Grylls, is a tour de force through the history of Mercedes as told by its cars. From the world's first car, the Benz Patent Motor Car, to the most expensive car ever sold, the 1955 Mercedes-Benz 300 SLR Uhlenhaut Coupé, the story of Mercedes is a long and fascinating one, and it is described in this book alongside a stunning range of over 100 photographs.
