The Mercedes 15/70/100 PS, produced between 1924 and 1929, was a pioneering luxury automobile that introduced several advanced features for its time. Notably, it was equipped with a 3.9-liter inline-six engine featuring an overhead camshaft—a rarity in the 1920s. The engine's performance was further enhanced by a switchable supercharger ("Kompressor"), boosting power from 70 PS to 100 PS when engaged. This innovation allowed the vehicle to achieve top speeds between 105 km/h and 112 km/h, depending on the final drive ratio. The 15/70/100 PS also featured four-wheel braking with a cable linkage, enhancing safety and control. Its combination of cutting-edge engineering and luxury set it apart from competitors, solidifying its status as a hallmark of automotive excellence during its era.

painted, decorated and assembled. Beautiful detail and accuracy of shape and scale. Photo
etched parts, die-cutting, tampo printing and waterslide decals are also used. Each model
comes with its own acrylic display case.
