| The first car to be named and branded Mercedes was the 1901 35 hp. It was developed by Wilhelm Maybach. With its low centre of gravity, pressed-steel frame, light high-performance engine and honeycomb radiator, it featured numerous innovations and is regarded today as the first modern automobile.
The name ‘Mercedes’ officially became a trademark on 26 September 1902 after it had been registered on 23 June. |
