Did you know? In 1955, our race director Rudolf Uhlenhaut designed two coupés based on the 300 SLR. He used this iconic car, which was the fastest, road-legal car at the time, for occasional trips between Stuttgart and Munich and could cover the distance of 240 km in just one hour! via mercedesbenzmuseum #MBmuseum #MercedesBenz #mercedesbenzclassic #yearoftheSL #ClassicCar
