If we look back, we can see where we came from: One hundred years ago, the first Mercedes compressor cars premiered at the German Motor Show in Berlin
More charge-air pressure meant better performance: one hundred years ago, Daimler-Motoren-Gesellschaft (DMG) presented the first two production-ready Mercedes passenger cars with engines fitted with a switchable Roots supercharger. These Mercedes 6/25 hp and 10/40 hp models made their debut at the first German Motor Show after the First World War, which was held from 23 September to 2 October, 1921 in the exhibition hall on Kaiserdamm in Berlin, where these new models caused quite the stir.
