"The legacy and mythology of the Mercedes-Benz 300 SL—aka the “Sports Car of the Century”—is beheld through the genius lens of top automotive photographer Rene Staud ..." — Maxim

"What a stroke of fate: 70 years of the SL, 70 years of Staud and 10 years of The Mercedes-Benz 300 SL Book. You might even say: The star is reborn." — Maxim Australia
This iconic sports car, from the first Mercedes 300 SL to its latest successors, proves that technology can indeed evolve into art. And who better to showcase this procession of pioneering automobiles than René Staud, whose striking photographs will captivate any enthusiast. This book, based on Staud’s successful calendars, is an ode to an extraordinary vehicle whose spell stars such as Grace Kelly, Frank Sinatra and Alfred Hitchcock have all fallen under. The elaborately orchestrated pictures show sleek curves and precision in every detail, conveying the passion for this breathtaking automobile. A photographic tribute to the “sports car of the century”, covering the 70-year history of the 300 SL racing car models from 1952 to the latest SL generation.

Text in English, German and French.

MEDIA REVIEWS

"The legacy and mythology of the Mercedes-Benz 300 SL—aka the “Sports Car of the Century”—is beheld through the genius lens of top automotive photographer Rene Staud in Mercedes-Benz: The 300 SL Book, published by teNeues." - Maxim

"What a stroke of fate: 70 years of the SL, 70 years of Staud and 10 years of The Mercedes-Benz 300 SL Book. You might even say: The star is reborn." - Maxim Australia

"For fans of automotive design, photography and fast cars, this is an album to keep an eye on." - GQ Portugal

"Staud is surely the only photographer to have had some 500 SLs in the studio, and very certainly the only one to have been entrusted with one of the two 300 SLR Uhlenhaut Coupés, the model that will for a long time have the distinction of being the most expensive car ever sold at auction (€135 million, in 2021)." - Speedreaders

"This stunning collection of striking photographs in a special 70-year anniversary edition." - Gothamology
