Mercedes 30 hp car in 1901

The name Mercedes given by Mr.Emil Jellinek for German Daimler car company  who was a business man living in south of France at the 20th century.The first Mercedes car were 28 hp Daimler Phoenix models in 1900. The next Mercedes models were the most significant cars of their era. Jellinek thought to start a sporting car and he asked Daimler to produce a faster,lighter and better-handling machine which would be more competitive in sporting event.The response from the Wilhelm Maybach who was the chief engineer that he built a new 35 hp engine for the first time, an aluminum crankcase to reduce weight. conventionally intake valves were automatic and which opens by vacuum in the cylinder and improved valve timing with twin carburetor one for each pair of cylinder. The 35 hp engine offered sparkling performance together with unmatched smoothness. The chassis was equally innovative for the first time the side members were stamped from sheet steel to save the weight.

Finally the 35 hp was test driven at the Nov 1900.early in 1901 it proven its worth for nice speed trial and then Mercedes got its name.They continued to start with quicker cars the 40 hp simplex and by 1903 Mercedes introduced the 60 hp which is good and got 60mph.
