Paul Gottlieb and Wilhelm Maybach in 1901 produced the first car to bear the Mercedes name: Mercedes 35HP. This was followed by the 60HP model that was distinguished by its huge 567-cubic-inch engine. Its official top speed was 65 mph or 104 kph. That is was very impressive at the time. Only 200 60HP's were very built, only five of those original cars are known to survive today. When on of the two-seater 60HP Mercedes came up at auction in 1991, it sold for $2.49 US.
