Introduced at the
1930 Paris Motor Show where it was among the highlights of the day, the
sensational Mercedes-Benz 770 was an extremely elegant and extravagant
motor car. It was the largest model that Mercedes-Benz had produced to
date, and swiftly gained the sobriquet 'Großer'. The 770 was powered by
an eight-cylinder inline engine that displaced a massive 7.7 litres and
produced an impressive 150bhp, while the optional supercharger boosted
its output even further, to 200 horsepower. The supercharger was a
popular option and most cars were fitted with it. Only 13 buyers opted
for the normally aspirated engine.
