The Mercedes-Benz 500k was One Hech of a Car. I Collect Die Cast Model Cars and I have One; a White 1936 Convertible. Among the Best Cars in the World at the time. I Personally Feel the MB 500K is a Car that Karl Benz, Wilhelm Maybach, Gottlieb Daimler and Emil Jellinek would've all been pleased with because it posses something that each of them would've liked.

Watched parts 1-4, it was nice, this is what I think of it in case you are starting to watch it now: PROS: covers nearly all models in a very good amount of detail, same goes for the history of the brand. The footage is nice since it shows the original images of the actual models when advertised, being tested and being driven. CONS: I found it a bit more of an advertising than an actual documentary. I think they should have spoken more objectively about the models instead of keep saying "it offers the best possible braking" about all their models and similar stuff. They should have shown successes and failures, that's what history is made of.

Carl Benz was a not really confident person. Or maybe he knew better than Berta, what could go wrong. E.g. when you are looking for gas (no gas stations yet), things could break. Berta had to isolate the ignition with a garter und remove debris in the fuel hose with a hat pin. Both tools would not have been available on a men‘s trip.

At 17:27 the narrator says the 1927 SSKL White Elephant had 300 Hp. and went 235Kph = 146 Mph. Subsequent M-B models did not even have 200 Hp. According to Wikipedia the engine was a supercharged 7.1 L SOHC I-6, never mentioned in the documentary. Top speed is given as 190 Kph. = 120 Mph. How long would tires of that era last at that speed? Power is given as 200-300 metric Hp., or 150-220 Kw. = 201-295 Hp. Therefore, the SSK was the fastest car in the world. How a six-cylinder of that era could produce such power is a mystery to me. M-B engines did not produce 300Hp. until decades later, and these were V8s. Even Hitler's 770K with a 7.6L OHC I-8 produced 155Hp, or 230Hp. with supercharger. His G4 with a supercharged 5.4L produced only 115Hp. The Grosser Mercedes Pullman in 1963 had a 6.3L V-8 which produced 250 Hp. and pushed the 5,000 lb. limousine to 100Kph. in10 seconds; 2677 were made from 1963 to 1981. "Top Gear" did a show about it and Jeremy called it a "Green Grosser," pun intended; it actually was green. The list of owners included Pol Pot and many other undesirables of his ilk who might need a fast getaway in the epitome of luxury.

You seriously need to get your facts right before you make a fool of yourself again mate. Have a look at the power of the GP Mercedes & Autounion cars of the 30s. There follows some stats about the W125 Mercedes GP car of the late 30s..... The supercharged engine, with 8 cylinders in line (94.0 x 102.mm) and 5,662.85 cc (345.56 CID), attained an output of up to 595 horse power (444 kW) in race trim. The highest test bed power measured was 637 BHP (646 PS) at 5,800 rpm. It gave 245 BHP (248 PS) at a mere 2,000 rpm. In 1938, the engine capacity of supercharged Grand Prix cars was limited to 3000cc, and the W125 was replaced by the Mercedes-Benz W154. The W125 was considered the most powerful road racing car ever for three decades until large capacity American-built V8 engines in CanAm sportcars reached similar power in the late 1960s. In Grand Prix racing itself, the figure was not exceeded until the early 1980s (when Grand Prix racing had become known as Formula One), with the appearance of turbo-charged engines.[2] The W125 reached race speeds of well over 300 km/h (190 mph) in 1937, especially on the AVUS in Berlin, equipped with a streamlined body. In land speed record runs, a Mercedes-Benz W125 Rekordwagen was clocked at 432.7 km/h (268.9 mph) over a mile and a kilometre. This car was fitted with a DAB V12 engine (82.0 x 88 mm) of 5,576.75 cc (5.6L, 340.31 CID) with a power of 726 hp (736 PS) at 5,800 rpm. The weight of this engine caused the car to weigh over the 750 kg maximum limit, so it never appeared in Grand Prix.

The top speed depended on gearing , which varied from car to car , and for factory racing cars could be changed according to the event . Similarly , outputs varied due to the fitment of different superchargers ( the highest performing one being the so called 'elephant' blower ) . maximum engine output could only be attained in short bursts with the supercharger engaged ; it was not to be used in first gear , nor for more than a few seconds in higher gears . While I nave never driven an SSKL , I did have the privilege of a drive in a 1927 Mercedes S some years ago , and a couple of shots of the supercharger - what a sound ! The push in the back was also noticeable . I would need to check , but I don't think the SSKL was released as early as 1927 ( the author was also wrong about the date of the merger ) ; as stated the S ( Sport ) I drove was from 1927 , then there was the SS ( Super Sport : more powerful engine ) and the SSK ( Super Sport Kurtz , shortened chassis ) ; I don't think the SSKL ( Super Sport Kurtz Leicht , shortened chassis drilled out to reduce weight , came out until the very early 1030's , but I do stand to be corrected if someone can evidence it . Incidentally , I suspect the photograph at 17:49 is of a very young Rudi Uhlenhaut , who I had the great privilege of meeting in Edinburgh , and he graciously treated me to a passenger ride in the experimental cw-111 gullwing doored test car at a club event . He was a charming gentleman who much have appreciated my interest , especially since , as a spotty faced youth , I turned heads by arriving in my 1957 Ponton 219 !

Daimler themselves tend to overlook that part of their history : I did have a poster some years ago , made in the 1960s , which depicted the use of their engines in aircraft , both world wars , land going military vehicles , ranging from personnel carriers to tanks . One of the most amazing vehicles is the original Gelandewagen ( forerunner after which the modern day G-Wagen was named ) which had multiple range gearing , 4 wheel drive , 4 wheel steering which could either be linked or separated ( allowing the vehicle to turn round within its own length , or to traverse at an angle , but not completely sideways ) it was an early all terrain vehicle . They also made engines for sea going craft , most notably U-boats ( unterseeboots ) , but also high powered petrol engines ( V-24 ) for E boats and many others . Oh and they made engines for the Zeppelin airships used in WW1 .
