Hello forum users!
What in your opinion is the most important, or the most iconic Mercedes model? Perhaps there is more of them? I'm a programmer game and was thrown into the game the opportunity to commune with models of Mercedes, but we depend mainly on those "most important."

Mercedes 300 SLR - with the number 722 on the side.Driven by some bloke called Moss in the Mille Miglia. The word (retch, shudder)'icon' is almost worn out through over use by lazy journalists but I could be persuaded it belongs to this car .

Not their best but surely the most important model in their history (for themselves) must be the 190e

It proved they could mass market for a reasonable price one of the best engineered cars the world had ever seen. They've been dining out on that reputation ever since and indeed it probably saved them through their terrible turn of the century years.

I'd prefer one of the two hard tops built for the Carrera Pan Americana.

This is worth a read, especially the bit on the restoration...

First official Mercedes AMG collaboration; a touch biased, but this is the grandad of the current Supercar range.
