The Mercedes - Benz 710 from 1930 is one of the most famous super-sedans ever made. It was the second car produced by Benz, following the company's previous model, the Mercedes Sixt, which was destroyed in an air attack during World War I. This second model was an instant hit and Mercedes quickly became the brand of choice for luxury-car owners all over the world. Its success led to a number of Mercedes - Benz models being designed, but the'Rolls Royce' name never left the air as it was a direct result of the war. The cars changed slightly, but the engine stayed the same and the rest is history.
Production on the Mercedes - Benz 710 Super Sport was stepped up during the war, with Mercedes receiving requests for modifications and upgrades from the military and police forces. Car producers were aware that war was about to break out and that they needed to be prepared. This is why Mercedes started building war cars before the war even started, such as the Mercedes - Benz 3.5 Convertible, which helped the war effort immensely. Other modified cars like the Mercedes - Benz 710s Hummer, which were used by the British military, and the Mercedes - Benz 710 Silver Arrow, which saw action in the Pacific, also had a strong impact on the production of Mercedes cars.
