"LEGRAND Mercedes-Benz 300 SLR ""Uhlenhaut Coupé"" 1/8 kit red"

"LEGRAND Mercedes-Benz 300 SLR ""Uhlenhaut Coupé"" 1/8 Kit - ""The Red One"" The original: Daimler-Benz had developed this coupé version of the 300 SLR racing sports car for the 1956 season. It was designed under the supervision of the then head of the MB racing car department, Rudolf Uhlenhaut. Today, the nickname ""Uhlenhaut Coupé"" reminds us of this. However, it never competed because Mercedes Benz withdrew from motorsport in 1955 after the end of the season. The MB 300 SLR is one of the most spectacular and expensive super sports cars ever built and was already far ahead of its time. Mercedes-Benz auctioned off the original vehicle with the red interior (No.008/55) at the Mercedes-Benz Museum / Stuttgart in May 2022 in a spectacular auction for the record price of 135 million euros to establish the ""Mercedes-Benz Fund"". https://media.mercedes-benz.be/de/das-wertvollste-auto-der-welt-mercedes-benz-300-slr-uhlenhaut-coupe-fuer-rekordpreis-von-135-millionen-euro-zur-gruendung-des-mercedes-benz-fund-versteigert/ - Cylinder 8 - Displacement 2982 cm³ - Power 302 hp (222 kW) at 7500 rpm - Top speed 290 km/h - Production period: 1955 - Number of units produced 2 The kit: LEGRAND 1/8 kits are made of high quality materials.
