1927 Mercedes-Benz Typ S 26-120-180 Sports Tourer
The Typ S was created in a magical period for the company, shortly after the merger of Daimler and Benz, while Ferdinand Porsche was chief engineer. The signature engineering feature was its on-demand Roots-type supercharger, which only came into operation when the accelerator was fully depressed, boosting power output from 120 to 180 brake horsepower for a few second.
