100 years of Maybach Automobilbau - world premiere of the limited anniversary edition "Edition 100"

Wilhelm Maybach, born in 1846, is a close companion of Gottlieb Daimler and initially worked for the Daimler-Motoren-Gesellschaft. Among many innovations, he developed the first Mercedes, which dominated the Nice race week in 1901. This success earned him the honorary name “Roi des Constructeurs” - King of the Constructors. He and his eldest son Karl combine progress with form: they want to create “the best of the best”. “I think around the clock, a constant impulse: the perfection of technology,” says Wilhelm. At the automobile exhibition in Berlin in September 1921, Maybach Motorenbau GmbH presented the first mass-produced car. The type W 3 resembles a moving work of art: the first German production car with four-wheel brakes, planetary gears and an interior made from the finest materials. The audience is thrilled, a legend is born. The magazine "Motor" writes: "A new star in the automotive firmament is beginning to shine."
