🇩🇪 Mercedes-Benz Museum in Stuttgart

I made a special trip to Stuttgart during my time in Germany just to visit this museum.✨ It happened to be a Saturday, and I got lucky — Mercedes was hosting a classic car event! 🚗✨ Lots of owners brought their vintage cars, and not just Mercedes! I saw a Ferrari Countach, a BMW E46 M3, multiple generations of Porsche 911, and many other classics. 🏁 The highlight? Mercedes had a officially preserved W126 S-Class available for FREE test rides! I got the chance to ride inside this beauty for about 10 kilometers.✨ Cars from that era still used 4-speed automatic transmissions and spring-based seats that felt almost truck-like — super relaxed and comfy, with a gentle, swaying ride. Acceleration was smooth, but body roll in corners was noticeable 😅. What amazed me most was how after all these years, the AT transmission showed zero extra vibration at red lights. The powertrain was unbelievably smooth — only a tiny shift bump gave away that it was even changing gears.✨ The car was in absolutely mint condition — if I remember correctly, it had less than 10,000 km on it. The paint and interior were flawless. ✨ If you ever plan to visit, check the Mercedes or Porsche website in advance — they often host events like this on weekends! 🗓️ #Europe #MercedesBenz #Ferrari #Porsche #Stuttgart
