The German motor manufacturer Gottlieb Daimler today delivered a remarkable new car to E'mil Jellinek, consul-general of the Austro-Hungarian Empire in Nice, France The high-performance car, especially made for the consul-general and named Mercedes after his daughter (above left), is an improved version of a model designed by Daimler two years ago. The Mercedes is quite unlike the horse-drawn carriages that are still a common sight on our roads. The car has a 4 - cylinder, 5.9-litre engine, giving it a top speed of 80km/h (50mph).
