The 1990s were a golden era for Japanese cars, with the rally heroics of Mitsubishi and Subaru bolstered by the ability for millions to virtually race performance icons from the nation in the early iterations of Gran Turismo. This class celebrates the best of them, as well as those that came before and after. We’ve brought together some of the leading lights in Japanese automotive culture, not just from the 1980s through to the 2000s, but also from eras when Far Eastern cars were true outliers.
Some of the most beautiful, era-defining and fastest cars join this special line-up charting the journey from world-first to global powerhouse for just one brand: Mercedes-Benz. The Three-Pointed Star has long been associated with engineering integrity, and it sits at the vanguard of luxury automotive living. It has sought to innovate rather than titillate, with its most exceptionally beautiful and exclusive automobiles backed up with forward-thinking science.
