Tradition Revisited: Mercedes-Benz at the Goodwood Festival of Speed

Posted by www.eMercedesBenz.com  The purpose of automobiles is to  
overcome distances and bring people together – any time, anywhere.  
But the days when cars were little more than an engine mounted on  
four wheels are long since gone. Exceptional automobiles also satisfy  
high expectations in terms of their performance, safety, comfort and  
value retention. The ideal car will combine desirable features such  
as these to create a very special quality experience.

Carl Benz and Gottlieb Daimler invented the automobile independently  
of one another in 1886. Since then, Mercedes-Benz has consistently  
developed cars with a combination of brand-specific fascination and  
traditional sense of responsibility that has turned many into icons  
of automotive history.

We take great pleasure in the enduring fascination classic cars  
convey and the enthusiasm private and institutional collectors from  
around the world set free. Over 120 years of automotive passion are  
all the incentive and commitment Mercedes-Benz needs to continue the  
great tradition of the brand and to carry on producing outstanding  
cars in the years ahead. Our heritage is a long now.

The Goodwood Festival of Speed has been supported by Mercedes-Benz as  
a main sponsor right from the start and developed into one of the  
most significant events on the worldwide classic calendar. This is  
where the aura of the Mercedes-Benz brand, developed over more than  
120 years, comes into its own in the presence of spectators whose  
competence and enthusiasm is quite unique on a global scale.

Performance, safety, reliability and value retention – a good balance  
of qualities in every Mercedes-Benz
Racing and rally drivers expect their cars to deliver the  
performance, reliability and safety they require. Our other customers  
also look for long-term economic efficiency in their vehicles, as  
well as traditional Mercedes-Benz comfort.

Mercedes-Benz has consistently aimed to offer cars with a finely  
tuned blend of the required qualities – all at the highest possible  
level, of course, and without neglecting or placing undue emphasis on  
any significant criteria. This harmony and constant innovation in  
automotive design is the product of intensive research, development  
and testing – a performance output that dates from the high ideals  
established by Carl Benz and Gottlieb Daimler. In the interests of  
its customers, whether in motor sport or everyday traffic, Mercedes- 
Benz stays the course. The Mercedes-Benz star continues leading the  
way on roads from anywhere to everywhere.
