Mercedes-Benz is a German manufacturer of luxury automobiles, buses, coaches, and trucks. It is currently a division of the parent company, Daimler AG (formerly DaimlerChrysler AG), after previously being owned by Daimler-Benz. Mercedes-Benz has its origins in Karl Benz's creation of the first petrol-powered motorcycle in January 1886, ] and by Gottlieb Daimler and engineer Wilhelm Maybach's conversion of a 1873 Bollée steam-engine automobile by the addition of a petrol engine the same year. The Mercedes automobile was first marketed in 1901 by Daimler Motoren Gesellschaft. The first Mercedes-Benz brand name vehicles were produced in 1926, following the merger of Karl Benz's and Gottlieb Daimler's companies into the Daimler-Benz company. Mercedes-Benz has introduced many technological and safety innovations that have become common in other vehicles several years later.
Gottlieb Daimler (who was the author of the star in the three branches) and Karl Benz were among the pioneers of the global automotive industry (1886). Firms and Daimler Benz, located in the outskirts of Stuttgart, evolved independently of one another until 1926. The Mercedes brand was created in 1901 at the initiative of Emile Jellinek, consul of the Austro-Hungarian Empire in Nice and representative of Daimler marque. He then gave the first name of his daughter Mercedes to a model designed specifically to his request which will meet a great commercial success. This success encouraged shortly after Daimler to adopt the mark for all its Mercedes cars struck the star in three parts. In 1925, in Germany, 80 manufacturers produce 144 different cars mostly in small numbers. The merger in 1926 of two manufacturers and Daimler Benz gave birth to a group of considerable power. Therefore, the Stuttgart firm would offer a range of models that would often be admired the world over. Since 1928, the S Series would give birth to the famous SS and SSK (1929). This series would soon lead luxurious famous 380K (1932), 500K (1934) and 540K (1936) all featuring an 8-cylinder engine compressor. The range was crowned by the Grosser 770K (1937), featuring a large limousines 8-cylinder engine compressor 7.7 liters of displacement, which were the official cars of dignitaries of the regime. The average range was composed of 170 (1930), 200 (1932) and 230 (1936) in all 6 cylinders. The 230 is also available with a diesel engine (the first diesel car series). These cars were the first to be equipped with wheel suspension.
The Mercedes-Benz 770, also known as the Großer Mercedes (large Mercedes) was a luxury automobile built by Mercedes-Benz from 1930 to 1943. It is probably best known from archival footage of high-ranking Nazi officials before and during World War II, including Adolf Hitler and Hermann Göring.and the Japanese Emperor ordered three of them! His 1935 model, a first series chassis with "pullman-limousine" body, was characterized by the lack of external exhaust pipes on the right side of the bonnet: one of the few examples in the production of the 770K.
The 770 was introduced with the internal code W07 in 1930. These cars were mainly used by governments as state vehicles.
The W07 version of the 770 was powered by an inline eight cylinder engine of 7,655 cc (467.1 cu in) capacity with overhead valves and aluminium pistons. This engine produced 150 brake horsepower (110 kW) at 2800 rpm without supercharging.. An optional Roots type supercharger, which was engaged at full throttle, would raise the output to 200 brake horsepower (150 kW) at 2800 rpm, which could propel the car to 160 km/h (100 mph). The transmission had four forward ratios, of which third was direct and fourth was an overdrive.
The W07 had a contemporary boxed chassis suspended by semi-elliptic leaf springs onto beam axles front and rear Dimensions would vary with coachwork, but the chassis had a wheelbase of 3,750 mm (147.6 in) and a front track equal to the rear track of 1,500 mm (59.1 in).
Only 117 W07-series cars were built.
