Summary

Description

My tribute to the Mercedes-Benz 300 SLR (W 196 S) a 2-seat sports racing car which took part in the 1955 World Sportscar Championship before a catastrophic crash and fire at Le Mans ended the involvement of Mercedes in the sport. The car was designated "SL-R" ( Sport Leicht-Rennen, Sport Light-Racing), which was later condensed to "SLR”. It had a direct-injected 3-litre straight 8 cylinder engine with a 78 mm bore and stroke, its rated power was 276 PS (203 kW) and a maximum speed approaching 290 km/h (180 mph) the 300 SLR Uhlenhaut Coupé easily earned the reputation of being the era's fastest road car

One was sold recently at auction for 145 million euro
