This short clip from Mercedes shows its engineers tear down the first-generation C-Class (or W202) to its bear metal while running on a freeway.

The engineers never stopped after this. Pieces by pieces, the engineers replaced every part from the old W202 with modern parts from the fourth-generation C-Class (W205).

The message in this commercial for the new 2019 version of the world’s most popular performance sedan is that Mercedes-Benz will never stopped making it more agile, more powerful and more intelligent.
