300 SLR, W196, 1955

Product Description

Mercedes-Benz 300 SLR 722, W196, start no. 722, silver. Manufacturer: Minichamps. Scale 1:43.
"The race car of the year 1955 successfully combined insights gained with the 1952 300 SL and technology from the Formula 1 car. Although Rudolf Uhlenhaut’s design was for a very graceful vehicle, in racing it proved as robust as a tank. Its engine was based on the M196R from the Formula 1 car, but was expanded to a capacity of 3 litres. In this car significant races were fought and won, including the Mille Miglia, the Tourist Trophy and the Targa Florio."
