The newspaper La Gazette published a harsh editorial on the “sports car, with engine naftero of 2,200 cm3 displacement.”

Originally founded in 1890 sold the Daimler-Motoren-Gesellschaft their vehicles are not yet under the name Mercedes. This brand name was only around the turn of the century, inspired by the businessman Emil Jellinek, starting in 1898 with Daimler vehicles involved. From 1899, Jellinek under the pseudonym Mercedes (based on the nickname of his daughter Mercédès Jellinek), inter alia, to the racing week from Nice. Although “Mercedes” at this time is not yet as an automotive name, but as a driver’s name was used as the name in connection with the DMG. Jellinek agreed 1900 production of the new, powerful engine model “Daimler-Mercedes”, which makes the Mercedes name first as the product name was used. At the same time, he was distribution partner for Daimler cars and engines and ordered 36 vehicles at a total price of 550,001 Mark (the current value of about 3 million euros), as well as a few weeks later, another 36 cars with Daimler-8-hp engine.

Since 1901 several of these Mercedes cars (the name is now also used for the wagon) successful in the racing week from Nice landed increased the awareness of Mercedes enormously, so that the 1902 Mercedes for the DMG protected by law. The well-known for the brand Mercedes-Star in 1909 as a trademark registered since 1910 and is also used as a symbol cooler. The Mercedes-star is traditions that by labelling the job by Gottlieb Daimler in (Cologne)-Deutz on a postcard to his family. Other traditions that indicates the star products in the early days of the company: engines on land, sea and air to the whole world.

Daimler-Motoren-Gesellschaft was followed by 1926 under the auspices of Deutsche Bank with its rival Benz & Co. together and formed the Daimler-Benz AG. Thus arose the new brand name Mercedes-Benz.

The frequently used term “Daimler” for a Mercedes-Benz is not correct, as Gottlieb Daimler the naming rights “Daimler” for cars “for all time” sold. In Coventry are therefore Daimler since 1907 by the Daimler Motor Company manufactured since 1960 identical with Jaguar. Today Tata Motors through the purchase of Jaguar (2008) the naming rights to the brand Daimler. Previously, the DaimlerChrysler AG in 2007, certain rights of the use of the name of former owners of brands Jaguar and Daimler Ford to their renamed Daimler AG.
