Stuttgart’s museum connects a chronological brand history with themed collection rooms across nine levels. Road cars, commercial vehicles and racing machines share the story. Switch between routes: follow chronology, then compare vehicles in collection rooms.

It wins for making varied vehicles part of a clear journey, rather than rarity alone. Mulhouse is stronger for a classic-car collector’s priorities; our first-visit criteria favour narrative plus range. Which deserves your detour: this complete story or another museum’s specialist collection?
