CMC Mercedes-Benz W165 model car
As from 1939 the Grand Prix was limited to 1.5 litre cars, Mercedes-Benz succeeded in building an entirely new racing car at a record pace the 1.5 litre W 165 with a V8-engine and remarkable 256 hp. With this vehicle Hermann Lang gained a sensational victory which was the result of an outstanding team performance and one of the most unexpected triumphs in the history of motor sport. Therefore it is not surprising that this car and the Tripolis race became a legend.
