Manufactured year 1955

One of two prototypes created in 1955, the SLR Uhlenhaut Coupe was basically a road-legal race car that survived Mercedes’ exit from the racing scene. Its name stems from Rudolf Uhlenhaut, the SLR’s designer and chief engineer who drove one as his personal company car.

The other SLR is owned by Mercedes-Benz and remains on display at its museum in Stuttgart. 

The world’s most expensive car ever sold in 2022 for €135M.
