CMC Mercedes-Benz 300 SLR Coupé, Tourist Trophy 1955, Wolfgang Von Trips, #T1, - 1/18

Limited edition of 1,000 pieces

When Rudolf Uhlenhaut, the father of the 300 SLR racer, travelled to the Mille Miglia in 1955 to see Mercedes' success up close, he also thought about equipping the 300 SLR racer with a closed cockpit for endurance events. His ideas were realised in the form of a competition coupé with a performance that no other road sports car could match. During a test on a closed section of motorway near Munich, the two-seater reached a speed of 290 km/h.
