This unique Mercedes-Benz W196R, built in 1954, is now available for auction for £41 million. It won its debut race at the 1955 Buenos Aires Grand Prix and was instrumental in securing Juan Manuel Fangio's second driver's championship. The car's 2.5-liter straight-eight engine and advanced race components made it a dominant force on the track, hitting 300kph in 1955.
For £41 million , you could own your own island in the Carribean, a large yacht, and a lifetime’s supply of Happy Meals from McDonald’s. Or, you could swap all those luxurites for a slightly different one: a one-of-four Mercedes-Benz W196R, built with a closed-fender ‘Stromlinierwagen’ body. It’s a tough decision lose call, but let’s see if this car worth your hard earned money.
So yeah, this is an important car—so important that Mercedes even threw it a retirement ceremony, before it was then given to the Indianapolis Motor Speedway Museum where it has lived ever since.
