I believe the first production car with LED taillights is the Cadillac DTS. HIDs might have been the 1993 or 1994 MB S class

I think Mercedes is gonna own a lot on that list.

I think the first HID equipped car were 1993 Porsche 911... but I could be wrong.

First EFI car was from AMC, I guess you're talking mechanical fuel injection (which reaaaaaally sucks lol)

[CirrusSR22]

The first turbo car I believe is the Oldsmobile Jetfire. It also had water injection.

I believe the first HUD was an oldsmobile in the 90s or something. Shoot I forgot.

Merc was not the first to offer an airbag. It was in the 1973 Oldsmobile Toronado.

Technically it was the Jensen FF that had ABS in the 1960s. No mention of Merc at all.

DOHC were used on Peugot's in 1912 on their race cars. Alfa was the mainstream manufacturer to introduce DOHC in 1928. Sunbeam did in 1925, but in more limited numbers.
