I am not a huge Mercedes guy myself, but any self-respecting car guy would LOVE this place. If you are ever in Stuttgart (Germany), you need to make the trip to the MB Museum. Next up, Porsche museum!

Talk about a big block! This beauty has a 621 cube straight six that makes 75 hp.

I'd be driving one of these right now if I had more money than I knew what to do with.

Maybe in 3-4 years I'll be able to pick up one used in my price range.

Great pics. They arent that big, post more!

Powered by a supercharged 5.5 liter, 617-horsepower AMG V-8 supercharged engine, the SLR McLaren Roadster can achieve a top speed of 206 mph.

I drove my friend's 06 SL55 AMG...all I could say when i got out was Holy Crap!! It was an amazing car.

Almost worth the 150k price tag:noway:

man who wouldn't like that?

My father still has a 55 Gullwing that he bought in the early 70's for a price that he won't tell me - but he keeps assuring me that it would be considered "well bought" LMAO

I was stationed in Stuttgart in the mid '60s. Porsche assy plant, Benz place great area for car guys (and gals) and all of the sites had tours even back then.

I still think mine was cooler.

Moon discs, 25MPG, and ran on fryer oil! :D:D

For whatever reason, this was one of my favorites. It must be 19 feet long and only a two seater. A 1926 model, it has a 381 cubic inch supercharged straight six that makes 140 hp.

Apparently they still make Unimogs. Here is a new one with a monster snowblower attached.

I forgot this one:

This is a frame from the 300SL gullwing cars. It only weighs 110 lbs and is obviously very stiff. The reason they needed to use the gullwing doors is that the side bars on this frame ran so high across the side of the car, they couldn't use conventional doors. This was in 1952! Cool.

Now THAT is neat!

I've had the fortune to drive my dads and it is a phenominal car. It was considered to be so ahead of it's time when they first debuted and it is easy to see why. I'm just scared to death of it because I am almost certain he would throw me in a puddle to keep mud off of it...............Hmmmmmmmmmm - couldnt blame him lol

Seriously, i went there myself 4-5 years ago when i was in Germany. That place regardless of your feelings for foreign cars is a monument to cars and technology in general. Tons of neat history and stuff to be seen. I would recommend going there to anyone.
