The name Mercedes-Benz today might be synonymous to luxury cars, but the German car-manufacturer has been around for more than a century and is the direct descendant of the first automobile. Gottlieb Daimler and Karl Benz freed the world from horse-driven transportation by building the world’s first internal combustion engine-powered conveyance in 1886. And since then, Mercedes-Benz has been at the forefront of motoring by becoming one of the most recognized and best-selling automotive brands in the world.

Out of all the legendary cars ever to wear the three-pointed star badge, here’s our pick of the 7 most iconic Mercedes-Benz cars of all time.
