Brakes on all four wheels of a car are taken for granted today. But that wasn’t always the case. In the period before World War 2, the automotive world looked very different. Even before World War 1, in 1914, Daimler-Motoren-Gesellschaft (DMG) presented the Mercedes 28\/95 PS, which had been designed by Paul Daimler, son of the company founder Gottlieb Daimler. Under the hood was an inline six-cylinder engine with a displacement of 7.3 liters and 66 kW\/90 hp. A new feature was the overhead camshaft with valves suspended in V-shape in the combustion chambers. Despite the start of the war, production at DMG continued until mid-1915. Around 25 examples of the 28\/95 PS had been built by then. After the end of the war, it took until 1920 before the model was reintroduced into the program.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Further development to the 28\/95 PS Sport<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

A year later, DMG presented the further developed Mercedes 28\/95 PS Sport, with which the works team competed in motorsports. A new frame chassis with lower positioning of driver and co-driver was developed for this purpose. The engine and water cooler were also positioned lower and further back. DMG also shortened the wheelbase by 325 to 3,065 millimeters. The output of the six-cylinder engine climbed to 81 kW\/110 hp. For the first time in the brand’s history, deceleration was done via a four-wheel drum brake system. For the following year, the 28\/95 PS Sport received supercharging, which delivered up to 107 kW\/145 hp to the rear wheels when the supercharger was engaged. This development led directly to the S, SS, SSK and SSKL series, which were successful into the 1930s. From 1923, the “all-wheel brake” was also available for private customers and from the mid-1920s, a warning sign at the rear had to alert other road users to the good braking performance.<\/p>\n\n\n
