Mercedes-Benz Car
Mercedes-Benz is a German manufacturer of automobiles, buses, coaches, and trucks. Mercedes-Benz is a division of its parent company, Daimler AG. Mercedes-Benz traces its origins to Karl Benz’s creation of the first petrol-powered car, the Benz Patent Motorwagen, patented in January 1886 and Gottlieb Daimler and engineer Wilhelm Maybach’s conversion of a stagecoach by the addition of a petrol engine later that 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 later became common in other vehicles. Mercedes-Benz is one of the most well-known and established automotive brands in the world, and is also the world’s oldest automotive brand still in existence today. Mercedes-Benz has a full range of passenger, light commercial and heavy commercial equipment. Production is on a global basis. The Smart marque of city cars has also been part of the Mercedes-Benz Group since 1994 and Mercedes-Benz re-launched the Maybach marque with the production 57 and 62 in 2002.Until 1994, Mercedes-Benz used an alphanumeric system for categorising their vehicles, consisting of a number sequence approximately equal to the motor’s displacement in liters multiplied by 100, followed by an arrangement of alphabetical suffixes indicating body style and motor type.
“C” indicates a coupe or cabriolet body style.
“D” means the vehicle is equipped with a diesel motor.
“E” (for “Einspritzen”) means the vehicle’s engine is equipped with petrol fuel injection. In most cases (the 600
limousine being the exception), if neither “E” or “D” is present, the vehicle has a petrol motor with a carburettor.
“G” denotes the Gelandewagen off-road vehicle.
“K” was used in the 1930s, indicating a supercharger (“Kompressor”) equipped engine. One exception is the SSK, where K
indicates “Kurz” (short-wheelbase).
“L” means “Leicht” (lightweight) for sporting models, and “Lang” (long-wheelbase) for sedan models.
“R” stands for “Rennen” (racing), used for racing cars (for example, the 300SLR).
“S” means “Sport” for high-performance models or “Special” for flagship models.
“T” stands for “Touring” and indicates an estate (or station wagon) body style.
Some models carry further designations indicating special features:
“4MATIC” means the vehicle is equipped with all-wheel-drive.
“BlueTEC” indicates a diesel motor with selective catalytic reduction exhaust aftertreatment.
“BlueEFFICIENCY” indicates special fuel economy features (direct injection, start-stop system, aerodynamic
modifications, etc.)
“CGI” (Charged Gasoline Injection) indicates direct gasoline injection.
“CDI” (Common-rail Direct Injection) indicates a common-rail diesel motor.
“Hybrid” indicates a gasoline- or diesel-electric hybrid.
“NGT” indicates a natural gas-fueled motor.
“Kompressor” indicates a supercharged motor.
“Turbo” indicates a turbocharged motor, only used on A-, B-,?- and GLK-Class models
Several companies have become car tuners (or modifiers) of Mercedes Benz, in order to increase performance and/or luxury to a given model.
AMG is Mercedes-Benz’s in-house performance-tuning division, specialising in high-performance versions of most
Mercedes-Benz cars. AMG engines are all hand-built, and each completed engine receives a tag with the signature of the engineer who built it. AMG has been wholly owned by Mercedes-Benz since 1999. The 2009 SLS AMG, a revival of the 300SL Gullwing, is the first car to be entirely developed by AMG.
There are numerous independent tuners including, Brabus, Carlsson, Kleemann, Renntech and MKB.

Did a bit of colour management funk to get the colours right. Illumination was a complex mix of fluorescent light, CFL, flash and daylight.
I realise how horrible the colours on most of my indoor shots have been because a) I used colour matrix in UFRaw when I shouldn’t have and b) because of uncalibrated monitors.
