The new directors suggested that Benz & Cie produce a cheaper model of its cars. In response to these new directors’ suggestions, Benz and Cie created the Victoria, a two-passenger automobile that could travel up to 11 mph. The car used a roller-chain tiller to pivot the front axle. The car was a success, selling 45 units in 1893.
