It was a leap forward from the Mercedes 35 PS, considered the first "modern" car design. The Mercedes Benz Simplex was known for its advanced technology, reduced number of controls, and reliability. Featuring various engine options from 18 horsepower to 60 horsepower, these vehicles could reach speeds of up to 60 km/h (37 mph), impressive for that era. The Mercedes Benz Simplex set new standards in performance and comfort, representing luxury and technical innovation at the time.
