11 Instant Classics From the Mercedes Instagram Feed

In this world, we auto journalists can write and write until our fingers bleed and our eyes pop out of our heads. We can go on a 2,000 word diatribe on the relationship between the Mercedes S-Class and improved safety standards and tech. Or why road racing, proper touring car type racing, is truly the pinnacle of motorsport, and not Formula 1 like everyone thinks.

However, all that prose, all the words in the world, wouldn’t make a lick of difference as to whether you care about a vehicle unless we actually show you the car. Without imagery, we are left with just hollow words that speak of some ethereal being that runs on dead dinosaurs and makes angry noises out the back.

That said, our modern social-media enhanced world has brought these images to life, and allows us to spread our reach throughout the globe. With that reach, automakers have seen the power, and joined in as well. Including Mercedes.

To honor that commitment to the tangential and evocative, here are some of the best shots from Mercedes Instagram feed.

I had a whole night at the #mbmuseum, but there was only one place to be – around the #300SL! I fell asleep near the #legend and dreamt of the moment when someone would hand me the keys and close the winged doors. Nobody did, but isn’t it all about sweet dreams?

One man, one engine. This Mercedes-AMG biturbo V12 powerplant was hand built in Affalterbach where it is known as the M158. It develops an astounding 730 horsepower and 1000Nm of torque. Who knows which legendary car it belongs in?

The new GT3 is based on the already lightweight Mercedes-AMG GT. The GT3’s engine cover, doors, front wing, front and rear aprons, sidewalls, side skirts, diffuser, trunk lid and rear wing are all made from light, high-strength carbon fiber. #MercedesBenz #ACS #AMGCustomerSports #AMGGT3 #GenevaMotorShow #GenevaMotorShow2015 #AMGGT #AMG #MercedesAMG #FIA
