Additional Details
The 1955 Mercedes-Benz 300 SLR Uhlenhaut Coupe was built to race. Its front/mid-engine design allowed for better weight distribution while its air brake innovation (under passenger door) supplemented its drum brake system. Eight cylinders powered this vehicle to a maximum speed of 180 mph. The production version (300 SL) was further refined and took its place among the elite sports cars of our time.
