There must be a car manufacturer pretty worm, if the portfolio is not complete. Sports cars, limousines, coupes and mixtures of all – Each tiny niche is occupied. Daimler now also gives gas on two wheels. Youngest family member: the Italian motorcycle brand MV Agusta.

Daimler’s new MV Agusta should cooperate with the Mercedes subsidiary AMG. But only a little …

You have to imagine that: there sit a Mr. Zetsche (Daimler boss) in the evening in the good room and ponder: what do we have? Cars, okay! In all sorts of and impossible variants. Coupes, limousines, combi, with two, three, four and five doors, with inclined and also without roof, sports cars, trucks, buses and motorcycles. Moment, motorcycles? Mist, we do not have it!

Daimler was missing only one motorcycle

A motorcycle must be! But who does not – like BMW – which produces, can only cooperate with corresponding manufacturers. Or buy a brand right away. That made Audi with Ducati so. And there was the Lord Zetsche certainly pretty sad.

Because until then Daimler had cooperated with Ducati. How cold the group of the Audi-Access has been caught, the Playboy experienced live. A few days before the takeover, we planned a big Daimler-Ducati story. The date for the shoot in New York was already fixed, the Audi press release fluttered into the house. All blown up. After that, Mr. Zetsche flight has searched for another motorcycle brand. And found. The problem only: Nobody knows – MV Agusta.

It starts with that many "MV Augusta" say. Or confuse the name with a vehicle class: "Aha, an Agusta you drive there. What brand is that? I really like Chopper."

MV Agusta is a daughter of Mercedes-AMG

So it is a liaison requiring explanatory, which Daimler has bought for an untouched amount. 25 percent of MV Agusta belong to the Stuttgart Group. The brand is docked at Mercedes-Amg. The two would fit together perfectly, it says.

More or less at least. The cooperation should be limited to marketing and sales. Really do not work together. So that MV Agusta ever benefits from AMG engines know-how is not expected. Ducati, on the other hand, is likely to get at least the injection technology of the VW / Audi engines, and BMW Can its electronic assistance systems have long been cost-effective for cars and motorcycles in a train.

Daimler, on the other hand, runs his DTM racing cars in MV-Agusta styling, and the MV-Agusta racing machines enter the AMG look. That brings attention, okay, but it also raises the fundamental question about why. Why are racing cars with motorcycle logos and vice versa?

What Daimler has?

Or more fundamental: Why is a group known for its first-class cars so much energy and money on the side strip, while he can overtake on his actual roadway? Battle thesis? By no means. After all, one to yesterday completely unknown electric car called Tesla overnight become the danger. The Californians have only a single vehicle in the program, but the model S is already sold in some countries more often than the Mercedes S-Class, the BMW 7 Series and the Audi A8. In California this has been so, now in Switzerland, soon in Germany?

    I have the impression that the texts at Focus are more and more just written. I have been looking for more and more writing mistakes and not finished texts. Now to the problem here: MV Augusta, who seems to know nobody. Since I can only connect the previous speakers and take the authors in the future to work better in the future. Thanks very much !!

  4. Nobody knows MV Agusta?
    The MV Agusta is a very old motorcycle brand and one of the most successful ever. Giacomo Agostini was thus 13 (!!!) Time world champion and at a time as Japanese motorcycles around the World Cup. Still in the 70s MV Agusta was the motorcycle that there is to beat. Each of the motorcycle drives or only interested in it, knows MV Agusta. Even my son (16 years old) knows the brand. MV Agusta was much more successful as a race motorcycle than about Ducatti. MV Agusta is with the motorcycles what Maserati is with the cars. A noble brand with a very long and successful story that had to be a brand through the desert. Article at very bad level.

  5. Apart from that …
    That a certain Michael GOrmann obviously has no less idea than from classic motorcycles – MV Agusta built motorcycles since 1927 – "Nice" is different; What (I G GEG!) Also a matter of taste is! Unforgettable, however, the ingeniously constructed 4-cylinder from MV with 600 to 1100 CCM, which were built up to the 80s (keyword "1100 Magni") – Completely rolled up, with a Banquett for the crankshaft (on request, I like to explain what that is!) and gear drive to the two overhead camshafts – there is no Japanese today and no BMW!! This was still mechanical engineering in the truest sense of the word!

    Since someone did not do his homework. Giacomo Agostini 13 Professional World Champion on a MV Agusta, every Formula sees 1 driver like an apprentice. Successful motorcycle world champion of all time.He then drove these Yamhas and Suzukis in the ground and soil. So much to MV-Agusta knows no one.

    The writers should inform themselves a bit better or the older ran leave the MV Agusta is a long known brand and a lot of tradition

  8. Mv agusta knows none ?
    Dear Mr. GOrmann, I do not know how old you are but MV you already know. The MV has not produced a few years is no reason to know the brand. MV S have always been collectibles. MV has always been the dream of many bikers unfortunately only and today for the normal citizen not affordable.

  9. Dear Focus,
    Everyone who drives motorcycle knows the MV Agusta! I even know several people who like me, do not drive a motorcycle and is quite a term for MV Agusta.

  10. I probably read myself!
    MV Agusta should know none?? Let your "Experts |" once ride an X-arbitrary motorcycle stroke point and recently mention MV Agusta . Since they will not be a meeting that can not do anything! The name has not more people who have never heard that at all have no interest in motorcycles. For everyone else is a brand like Donnerhall. One who might be treated if you "very much" Money left or finally wants to drive something exclusives. What are you saying soon? Omega watches, Kobe beef … never heard. Can not be dolle.
