Drive it!: The Motor Magazine | Drive it!
Drive it! goes time-traveling through German automotive history: from the latest Mercedes model back to a classic 1937 Horch. In the future, Mercedes drivers will be able to choose between five powerful and efficient engines for the CLS coupe and CLS Shooting Brake, all of them fulfilling the Euro 6 emissions norm.
By the time the Horch 930 V appeared in 1937, the German auto industry was in a serious crisis. With the government gearing up for war, the scarce resources available all went towards building up the military. The economy was bled dry - a less than ideal time to launch a luxury car.But the Horch 930 V still found buyers, and its specs were indeed impressive for the time: eight cylinders, nearly five meters in length and a curb weight of nearly two tons. More than 2,000 units rolled out by 1940.
And the VW Bus Festival on the Baltic. For decades, the classic VW Bus - lovingly known as the Bulli in Germany - has been an icon of 1960s Flower Power, life on the road, and freedom. 405 VW buses of all generations, from the T-1 to the T-5, converged on the Baltic Sea island of Fehmarn recently for the 'Midsummer Bulli Festival'.
