The original: This coupé version of the 300 SLR racing sports car was developed by Daimler-Benz for the 1956 season. It was designed under the direction of Rudolf Uhlenhaut, then head of the MB racing car department. The nickname „Uhlenhaut Coupé“ is a reminder of this today. However, it was never used in racing, as Mercedes-Benz withdrew from motorsport at the end of the 1955 season. The MB 300 SLR is one of the most spectacular and expensive super sports cars of all time and was already way ahead of its time.
