300 SLR Mercedes-Benz
Revving up history, the 1955 300 SLR Uhlenhaut Coupé by RM Sotheby's and Mercedes-Benz just sold for a record-breaking €135 million, now the world's priciest car. This speed icon, originally the fastest road car, connects to Mercedes-Benz's racing legacy, with a Tony Merrick restoration in '86. Gull-wing doors, a powerful drivetrain, and side-gill exhausts tell tales of its racing roots. Beyond its €€€ value, this coupé contributes to the 'Mercedes-Benz Fund' for environmental education and research. An automotive masterpiece with a legacy beyond the auction block. #300SLR #MercedesBenz #AuctionRecord #AutomotiveHistory
