Mercedes-Benz W 25 750-kg racing car in Mercedes-Benz Museum Stuttgart . The W 25 was the original Silver Arrow. Originally painted white, it arrived at the Nürburgring for its first race one kilogram too heavy for the 750-kg (1,650-pound) formula. The mechanics sanded down the paintwork in order to reduce its weight, exposing the bare, shining silver colour of its body. Suitably relieved, the team was able to line up at the start with the W 25. The car went on to win the race and later picked up its nickname Silver Arrow. Cylinders 8 Displacement 205 cu in Output 354 hp (260 kW) at engine speed 5800/min Top speed 175 mph Show quoted text #mercedes #mercedesbenz #mercedesracing #mercedesbenzw25 #mercedesformula #formula1 #mercedeslife #mercedeslifestyle #mercedesheritage #classiccars #classiccar #grandprix #traveling #travelgram #travel #enjoyinglife #carmuseum #museum #racecar #mercedesmuseum #f1 #formularacing #rarecars #luxury #historyracing #formulaone #photooftheday #history #carhistory #vintageracecar (at Mercedes-Benz Museum) https://www.instagram.com/p/ConZqpjIQaY/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

1978 Mercedes-Benz C111-III - Mercedes-Benz Museum Stuttgart The C111 was a series of experimental automobiles produced by Mercedes-Benz in the 1960s and 1970s. The company was experimenting with new engine technologies, including Wankel engines, diesel engines, and turbochargers, and used the basic C111 platform as a testbed. Other experimental features included multi-link rear suspension, gull-wing doors and a luxurious interior with leather trim and air conditioning. The company decided not to adopt the Wankel engine and turned to diesel experiments for the second and third C111s. The C111-III was powered by a 170 kW (228 hp) at 4,500 rpm straight-five OM617 turbocharged diesel that broke nine diesel and gasoline speed records. With more aerodynamic bodywork that gave it an air drag coefficient of 0.191, the C111 eventually reached 322 km/h (200 mph) at the Nardò Ring in 1978, and averaged 16.0 liters/100 km at 316 km/h (14.7 mpg at 195.4 mph) over a 12-hour cruise. #mercedes #mercedesbenz #mercedesc111 #dieselengine #speedrecords #experimental #mercedeslife #mercedeslifestyle #mercedesheritage #classiccars #classiccar #racing #traveling #travelgram #travel #enjoyinglife #carmuseum #museum #raremercedes #mercedesmuseum #c111 #racingcars #rarecars #vintagecars #sportcars #supercars #photooftheday #history #carhistory #prototype (at Mercedes-Benz Museum) https://www.instagram.com/p/Cn-FMxToSp-/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

The car used a fiberglass body shell and with a mid-mounted three-rotor direct fuel injected Wankel engine. The next C111 appeared in 1970. It used a four-rotor engine producing 257 kW (350 hp). The car reportedly could reach a speed of 300 km/h (186 mph). #mercedes #mercedesbenz #mercedesc111 #fiberglass #conceptcars #experimental #mercedeslife #mercedeslifestyle #mercedesheritage #classiccars #classiccar #luxurycars #traveling #travelgram #travel #enjoyinglife #carmuseum #museum #raremercedes #mercedesmuseum #c111 #gullwing #rarecars #vintagecars #sportcars #supercars #photooftheday #luxury #carhistory #prototype (at Mercedes-Benz Museum) https://www.instagram.com/p/Co2ttkgoGTY/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

2001 Mercedes-Benz F 400 Carving research vehicle in Mercedes-Benz Museum Stuttgart Active camber control and asymmetric tyres provide additional safety and driving dynamics “Drive by wire” for steering and brakes Xenon headlamps, LED turn indicators and use of new materials Stuttgart. As a constant innovator of automotive engineering, Mercedes-Benz sometimes takes unconventional paths. One example is the F 400 Carving research vehicle, which the brand presented at the Tokyo Motor Show (14 October to 7 November 2001) in October 2001, 20 years ago. It features many future-orientated systems, amongst which the active camber adjustment of the wheels is the main attraction: The vehicle appears to lean into the curve – in a way similar to a winter athlete on carving skis. Today, the F 400 Carving can be seen at the Mercedes-Benz Museum in the “Fascination of Technology” section. #mercedes #mercedesbenz #mercedesbenzf400 #mercedesconcept #carving #designstudy #mercedeslife #mercedeslifestyle #mercedesheritage #classiccars #abc #conceptcar #traveling #travelgram #travel #enjoyinglife #carmuseum #museum #raremercedes #mercedesmuseum #f400 #newtechnology #rarecars #research #sportcars #drivebywire #photooftheday #history #carhistory #roadster (at Mercedes-Benz Museum) https://www.instagram.com/p/CoxnpJYoJgW/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

1924 Mercedes 2-liter “Targa Florio” racing car in Mercedes-Benz Museum Stuttgart In 1924 Christian Werner won the Targa Florio, an exacting road race across Sicily, in this supercharged racing car. He was helped by its red paintwork, which was more typical of Italian racing cars. Seeing a red car approaching, the local motorsport fans would stay out of the way – unlike when the German and French competitors came along in their white and blue machines.

23 PS Daimler Phoenix racing car in Mercedes-Benz Museum in Stuttgart The 23 PS Phoenix was Daimler’s most powerful racing car in 1900. Its high centre of gravity, heavy 660-pound engine and short wheelbase – which was extended for the variant shown here – made it difficult to control. Following a serious accident in the Nice – La Turbie race in March 1900, Wilhelm Maybach set about building a new racing car: the first Mercedes. Cylinders 4 Displacement 336 cu in Output 27 PS (20 kW) at engine speed 900/min Top speed 50 mph #mercedes #mercedesbenz #mercedesracing #phoenix #daimlermotorcar #daimler #mercedeslife #mercedeslifestyle #mercedesheritage #classiccars #classiccar #maybach #traveling #travelgram #travel #enjoyinglife #carmuseum #museum #racecar #mercedesmuseum #vintageracecar #vintagecar #rarecars #luxury #historyracing #prewarracing #photooftheday #history #carhistory #prewar (at Mercedes-Benz Museum) https://www.instagram.com/p/Cop2Y-uI2Ei/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

Mercedes-Benz W 196 R 2.5-liter racing car in Mercedes-Benz Museum Stuttgart Mercedes-Benz lined up for the Formula One races in 1954 and 1955 with two versions of the W 196 R. While the streamlined variant was selected for the high-speed circuits in Reims, Berlin and Monza, the classic monoposto with open wheels got the vote for the majority of races, as it was better suited to twistier tracks.
