***Awesome Day in Munich Mercedes Style (Part I)***

[cawimmer430]

Was in Munich yesterday. Some new shots of the gigantic Mercedes-Benz showroom!

Some of the shots are of rather poor quality as I was alternating between different ISO settings depending on the lighting conditions. For good results you also need to play around with the exposure settings (generally a negative value) but I got lazy! Sorry!!! I also hate using flash in such situations because it does more harm than good IMO. I did my best to patch up the shots in photoshop. 

McLaren Mercedes SLR and SLR Cabrio and a Maybach 57S. This section was off limits to non-serious customers.











1949 Mercedes-Benz 170S, one of only 830 built until 1952. It was powered by a pre-war designed 1767cc 4-cylinder engine that made 52-horsepower. Top speed was 122 km/h and the car returned a then favorable 12 L / 100 km in terms of gas mileage.




1951 Mercedes-Benz 220 Cabriolet Typ "A", one of 2,274 built until 1954. Under the elegant bonnet was a 6-cylinder engine displacing 2195cc and producing 80-horsepower. The car could reach 140 km/h and needed "only" 10.9 liters of gasoline for 100 km, an extremely efficient achievement for a luxury sedan in those days.



1952 Mercedes-Benz Typ 300S Roadster. This is an extremely rare and expensive car. Only 141 were made from 1952 until 1955: all by hand. The 2996cc engine under the hood is the carburated version of the 300SL Gullwing 6-cylinder making 150-horsepower here.

AMG Time!

SLK55 & CLS63 AMG


E63 AMG T-Modell



Two ML63 AMG's, an S63 AMG and a C350 with the AMG sport package.










CLS63 AMG with graphite on the mirros and underside of te front bumpers flanking an SL55 AMG (with SL65 AMG body kit) and another E63 AMG T-Modell.








An older customer checking out the CLS63 AMG. I ventured a bit close to hear what was going on. I really got the impression that this senior citizen wanted this performance machine!


The gorgeous E63 AMG T-Modell. Give me this over the sedan anyday!




SL55 AMG's








Random shots to give you an idea of the size of this place!
