American Amazed by The Mercedes-Benz Museum in Stuttgart, Germany
All right y’all this museum has been highly requested in dozens of comments over the last few months and this is of course the mercedesbenz mum and this is in stutgart Germany of course recently a few weeks ago we looked at uh bits and pieces of the Audi Museum in Engle strot
And that was really really impressive I was amazed by it had some really cool features and of course awesome history with a great collection of cars you know Motorsport race cars uh you name it it was really cool I’m told to Mercedes museum is topnotch as well so we’re
Going to be looking at bits and pieces of some different clips uh these will all be linked down below make sure to check them out in their entirety in browser channels let’s see some Mercedes action I got my udog hat on so uh I’m wrapping Mercedes today a little bit here we
Go so on outside of course very impressive looking just like the Audi one was really cool as well this one looks really Grand and actually it’s funny when they zoomed out it didn’t look that big until you see people in front of it then it’s like oh it’s actually huge
Wow damn just walking in looks like an experience even the doors are fancy it’s funny how like all these little details are so different like of course there’s tons of different building designs and windows and doors here in the US but somehow this is way different than anywhere I’ve seen it’s really weird
Right oh look at that is that that AMG um one thing right it’s pretty much it’s pretty much like a F1 car for the road almost what a beast oh my God it’s one of those cars that maybe I’m the wrong person for it I feel like that
Car is just too exotic like too nice I wouldn’t even want to drive it on the street right I mean it’s too much you need to be on a track and even then I’d be afraid to drive it just wouldn’t want to crash it or even scratch it it’s just too damn nice
And so moving on inside of course this is where it all started right Mercedes the world can thank them for starting this world we live in with automobiles kind of crazy to think about I mean look at all the old Vehicles they have it’s actually really
Neat like I wonder if some of these are replicas or if they’re all like mostly original if they are that’s extremely impressive I mean look at the plethora of ancient Vehicles here really kind of mindblowing it really gives you that kind of sense of how far we’ve come in a
Relatively short time then moving on a bit this looks to be probably around 20 or 30 years later probably 191 20s look at that first modern automobile right there it’s crazy look at that first of all even disregarding the hundreds of amazing Vehicles just the architecture of this building is is freaking awesome
Like just everything the the the floors the surfaces of everything the lighting it’s very aesthetically pleasing building uh it’s got a great view too stutgart looks pretty because you have this you could see parts of the city it’s got some big Hills or small mountains I don’t know what you’d want
To call those right outside I mean it’s very Scenic area pretty cool backdrop looks to be maybe Sunset yeah very cool I want to see these uh these buses come on it’s crazy to think about too one thing I’ve really learned on this channel is obviously I knew about
Mercedes since I was little cuz we do have Mercedes cars and and uh you know they’re very sought after here they’re seen as like a you’re very successful if you have a Mercedes here at least in the US but it’s funny because worldwide especially in Europe especially in
Germany um there maybe have a more of a different status like it’s just a domestic trusted brand right might not be seen as like this kind of unattainable for some people like expensive car I think it’s more normalized in Germany naturally uh and also the fact that they make so many
Vehicles that maybe we don’t get here even though we do have the brand here we don’t get all the vehicles of course cuz Mercedes seems to make everything like buses you know any any type of Transportation you know big trucks agriculture equipment uh railroad equipment you name it it’s kind of
Amazing the expanse of models I make and we fast forward to I don’t know if this is might be 40s 50s 60s era really really freaking cool I don’t really know anything about old mercedesbenz vehicles but uh I could tell you what they’re pretty damn cool dude they’ve always had a extremely
Unique design language it it’s kind of one of those car companies I feel like that even though I’m not an expert on older Mercedes they’re just recognizable I and I think that’s kind of really cool when a brand can convey itself so naturally that they’re just recognizable you may
Not know much about it but you know that’s a Mercedes right so I couldn’t tell you much about the drivetrain or you know special features of any of these cars we’re seeing right now but I can tell you what they’re beautiful and Jesus this thing of coling doors that’s
See I don’t know exact name of the model but someone said it’s somewhere behind me someone sent um in Mail Time a go wing it must have been this similar to this car that had go Wing doors I think that’s so freaking cool dude I have to look further into this
But yeah they just have like this element about them where it’s like you know that’s a Mercedes I don’t know how they do it but they do look at these ambulances these are probably a little older yeah probably an old fire truck God they make so many vehicles dude it’s a really cool
Museum I love how it’s presented it’s like obviously way multifloor and they have it sectioned out pretty cool right with themes like these are Big you know emergency vehicles this right here there’s an Unimog this one’s badass too look it’s got all these attachments got the chains on the tires this thing’s
A badass machine right there one of the craziest Vehicles it’s the best combination ever of a truck and a tractor Allin one and it truly is look at these medical cars that’s cool AMG medical car oh it’s for Formula 1 that’s that’s freaking awesome wow whoa what is this
Thing what is that that is freaking cool and uh this red two door like Coupe is pretty awesome as well princess deas 500 SL what oh my God that’s wild wow that is pretty cool when you see really iconic cards like that what is this one with the crazy paintwork see how
Play what is this is that how does this even work is that a vinyl wrap or is that somehow paint which I W even know how that would work I don’t know what it is these are cool I remember seeing these in like older movies I think um these big Brash
Cars like this these old Mercedes I’m assuming these May might be like 60s or 70s things are freaking awesome dude that thing looks like it like it was probably built like a tank I’m assuming this is like a really strong car oh this is what I want to see hell yeah how cool
Is that for the Motorsports exhibit they’re literally on like a track oh that is so freaking cool dude I got to look more into these trucks too how neat is that racing Mercedes trucks oh look at these so many iconic cars tons that I don’t even know much
About that are on my list to learn about damn how freaking cool dude look at that up close I didn’t know that you can go wait you can go right down there wow look at these Formula 1 cars they’re so Sleek damn and those like prototype Lon lemon type cars
Wow dude even their freaking Formula 1 cars look classy how do they do it man it’s that I think it’s that Mercedes like grayish silver it’s so premium looking I don’t know just hits different look at this car what in the hell is this this thing looks like um
I don’t know like a fighter jet forther ground this a 1939 geez I wasn’t thinking it was old like that 1939 mercedesbenz oh boy um VRE or vagon I don’t know that’s probably so wrong I’m sorry but yeah it’s that thing t80 that’s call it that it’s a V12 my
Goodness massive V12 at that holy crap 373 miles hour 600 km per hour what in the world designed by ferninand Porsche powered by the DB 603 Arrow Engine oh my God it’s a freaking airplane engine 3,000 horsepower why have I not have I not heard of this thing oh my God
World War II prevented the car from being fully completed no so is this like a unofficial land speed car that might have been the fastest in the world but maybe not enough Wheels on the ground so to say enough testing done to solidify it what dude that thing is straight Wicked
I can’t believe they were making this in the 30s how crazy is that can you imagine what that looked like back then looked like a alien spaceship and then this is from the Mercedes-Benz channel so be linked these all be linked like always look at how crazy this Drone footage is
This place is freaking so cool dude I don’t know why these just hit different to me they’re so premium looking the architecture is just awesome look at this drone work how did they do this how did they in one take fly this thing get some cool angles have a guy
Open the door they fly the Drone in this is absolutely insane even their freaking videos are nuts I don’t want to get copyright there’s sounds like there might be copyright music there but yeah you’ll definitely have to check this out I will have this link so you can watch this
Whole thing as it’s supposed to be there’s no way they flew this drone in here dude what on Earth I have a couple drones I don’t fly them much but when I do I my first drone I got years and years ago I did crash very violently do
A tree um I don’t know how this guy whoever is flying this my goodness certified drone pilot I don’t know if that’s a thing or not no freaking way there’s no way right this got to be computer generated there’s no way to fly this road into historic cars over planes like in these
Tight spaces there’s no way it’s happening right no no no no oh hell no there’s no way I can’t take it that’s the coolest thing I’ve ever seen it’s also the most nerve-racking thing I’ve ever seen yeah this will be linked down below I highly suggest you
Check it out well there you go that is the beauti beautiful looking Mercedes-Benz Museum in stutgart gorgeous uh really well presented Place definitely on my bucket list um I think you guys know by now definitely would love to go to really anywhere outside the US like I I just have an itch like
Most people do to travel the world theoretically uh but I would love to come to Germany and just I mean of course there’s so much to see but dude just talking about Automotive bucket list in general man I’d be hitting up all these museums uh this just looks like a ton of

This Mercedes SL 300 Gullwing is among the most expensive cars in existence (Except maybe unique cars). In this condition you probably pay 5+ million dollars.
World record car T80
Your enthusiasm is brilliant! Thank you for the video!
Mercedes have always been expensive cars in Europe too but there is luxury expensive and heavy duty expensive. Mercedes did them both, often within the same model range. Workhorses for the salesmen and other high annual mileage people, 2 to 3 litre diesel sedans just plowing through hundreds of miles of highway a 100% reliable. Taxi drivers could always count on them too.
Extremely high build quality, very low depreciation, an expensive but sensible long term investment in your mobility. Many sold were more serious than flashy, luxurious or fast. They would often be 1.5 the price of a car with similar performance and space, and any luxury other brands had standard like a second rear mirror or 5th gear would come at serious extra money and be of the same superior build quality.
You must see The Alfa Romeo museum
That silver racecar on in the middle of the racetrack looks like a group C Sauber c9, those things could top over 240 mph in the late 80s.
I'm living only 20 km from the Mercedes-Benz museum in Untertürkheim…👍🤘And 10 km from the AMG and HWA factory in Affalterbach…🤓
The 300SL gullwing is an icon of an automobile. One of the most expensive, too. You have to spend millions to get one.
If you look down on the door at the entrance, it's the Merc logo. Here in South Australia, we had Merc buses, they were far superior to the M.A.N. and Scania's. Our ambulances are Mercs also.
Daimler built the first car, not Mercedes.
12:08 in this shot you can see the Stadium of VfB Stuttgart on the left (once called Mercedes-Benz Arena, now MHP Arena) and on the right is one of their biggest factories with around 12.000 people working there, as well as the heatquater.
So many of the americans i talk to , in typical american grand delusion, thinks that they invented cars….
Pope Mobile I believe next to Princess Diana Mercedes 😊
This 1939 Welt Rekord Wagen – World Record Car – is really far out. And probably more wishful thinking than reality at the time. Did you see what it says on the decription? It was supposed to have a 44 ltr (!) engine with 3000 bhp. AFAIK nobody had a engine like this before WW2, not the Germans nor the Americans or Brits.
And perhaps it was for the best, because with 3000 hp you can go 400 or 500 mph. And trying that would have probably killed the driver. As it happened with a different record car they build, that crashed and killed Bernd Rosemeyer, a famous Grand Prix driver of the time. Just a bit of side wind made him lose the direction, while doing 250 mph or so.
7:53 The white one with the glass body is the Mercedes 230 G Papa Mobil from 1980. Papa Mobil = Pope's Car
10:25 That would be the T80, a land speed record car made by Mercedes-Benz in the 1930s. It was the pet project of well-renowned German racing driver Hans Stuck, who wanted to be known as the fastest man in the world, and sought to set an absolute land speed record for it. Herr Stuck was going to be the one at the wheel.
This 8-meter long, six-wheeled monster, was to be powered by the Daimler Benz DB 603, an inverted V12 aircraft engine with a displacement of 44.5 liters and making 3,000 horsepower. The engine ran on a special mixture of methyl alcohol (63%), benzene (16%), ethanol (12%), acetone (4.4%), nitrobenzene (2.2%), avgas (2%), and ether (0.4%) with MW (methanol-water) injection for charge cooling and as an anti-detonant.The aerodynamic bodywork was designed by none other than Dr. Ferdinand Porsche. The chassis had three axles, two in the rear to support the engine and one at the front. The target speed was originally going to be 600 km/h (373 mph), but when John Cobb set the 600 km/h land speed record in 1939, they upped the target speed to 750 km/h (466 mph) instead.
They never got to make the land speed record attempt because of the outbreak of WWII, during which the T80's engine was removed and the rest of the car itself was squirreled away in a garage in Austria. The T80 survived the war and has since become a permanent exhibit at the Mercedes-Benz museum.
The most mindblowing thing is the first car with I think 5hp and 40 years later 3000hp. People in the 30s think there is a devil inside oder magic trick. And then think about the driver of the 3000hp car. The fastest he drove before war a racecar with much lower power. And he got the balls to say: ok I do and break the record with 600kmh. Insane.
There‘s also a huge VW Park in Wolfsburg – You need a whole day to experience everything including (pre-booked) 4×4 drive range and pick-up area for newly bought cars
The Porsche Museum is also extremely nice.
In case you‘ll visit the miniature Wunderland in Hamburg, also take a look into the car museum near by – it’s small compared to those others but has some gems of different automakers on show
That "Spaceship" has some really interresting history behind it.
It was the final evolution in the battle between Mercedes and Auto-Union for land speed records; a battle started and financed by Hitler to show the world "the superiority of German engineering".
It started with Grand Prix racing, but evolved into a straight up land speed record hunt on the then newly constructed Autobahn.
Just after "where it began" with this mercedes at about 10mph. A Belgian guy, in 1899, drove an electric car to 100kmh. The first vehicle ever to do that… Then we lost 100 years to the fossil fuel lobby…
MERCEDES is arguably the #1 car brand in the world, historically , even before Ford, which I would rank #2.
And then a huge gap to whatever comes on 3.
Mercedes cars are still seen as luxury (although they’re now so common that it’s less than before unles you’re talking S-Class, SLR etc.) in Europe but it’s trucks and vans are just regarded as normal competitors to the likes of VW, Renault, Volvo etc. Apart from the Unimog which is its own thing.
Ian there's computerized flying drones. This means the drone is controlled by a computer.
There was a documentary in the UK about the Pre-WW2 Grand Prix and land speed record cars (called Hitler's Supercars, if I'm remembering correctly) within the context of their use in Nazi Germany's sportswashing.
Towards the end of that documentary, they modeled that T 80 land speed record car from its blueprints and ran 2 computer simulations on it, one for drag, and one for downforce.
They concluded that the car's power and drag would have been enough to take the record, but most of its downforce was generated at the rear, behind the rear wheels [Edit: It also produced lift at the front]. It likely would have backflipped if it actually ran.
its not uncommon in ireland to see your ice cream man driving a mercedes ice cream van.
Yes the mercedes brand is normal in germany, because they are one of the richest nations, and they also have us czechs to do the badly paid work. Here in cz, right next to germany, regular people drive cars many years old, because they just cant afford anything better. And its gonna get worse, the green religion, the successfull american policy to get rid of european competition by cutting us off from cheap russian oil and gas by provoking the russian attack on ukraine are all causing european economics to go down the drain. If the green crainess continues and regular cars are banned in favour of electric crap, son we will have no cars at all. Not only we wont be able to afford them, but there is also no way we could all charge them. Not only because we dont have strong enough power grid, but a lot of people live in blocks of flats here, and there is no way for these people to have a hundred chargers in front of the buildings.
That gullwing is easily worth $10 million and dude flew a drone through it 😂
6:21 – That's the car that invented 'gull-wing' doors. 1950s SL 300 coupe.
i visited this museum in 2007. I don't if they still have it there, but you could pay a few extra Euros and take a ride in the touring car simulator. It took you on a virtual ride around a race track and you felt the full effects of acceleration, braking and cornering for 2 or 3 minutes with the appropriate sounds. It was exhilarating but brutal. I was glad I went for the ride before I had lunch.
7:54 – Papamobil!
8:50 The one the left might be Elvis's car. He definitely had that model.
