It’d be interesting to know how the magnesium body was assembled. You can’t weld magnesium for well known reasons. That’s why the Bugatti Atlantic used hundreds of rivets on pinched seams he cleverly incorporated as a design element. The Mercedes has no visible seams and looks like typical bodywork of the period. Be fun to know how they did that?

Yeah, relatively easily on almost any modern superbike. And they'll also get there much more quickly. The top speed of Japanese road bikes is restricted to 300kph by the use of limiters and/or gearing. That doesn't mean they can't be derestricted, which is something that is necessary for racing. But yea, 300kph is relatively easy to hit on a superbike. I've certainly seen it on the clock on a couple of bikes, though I know that they'd probably have been shy of that real speed by close to 20kph or so. Never really felt the need to go faster, 'cos you're approaching other vehicles at some very significant speeds.

That gear shifter is absolutely gorgeous. It must make a very distinctive clicking sound.

I was passed on the Autobahn A45 by one of those two cars back in the 1960s. I have no way of knowing whether it was Mr. Uhlenhaut behind the wheel, but I have always fantasized that it was and he was on a secret mission of some kind. Just remembering it 50 years later the sound of that exhaust gives me goosebumps today. Incredible machine. I had forgotten that it has 8 cylinders, unlike the W198.

And the "sound" of the engine was already "castrated". In order to obtain a road licence, Uhlenhaut had to have a silencer installed on his "company car" (the one with the blue interior), which was placed on the right-hand side outside the bodywork, thick, fat and grumpy (i.e. not nice at all).

Rudolf Uhlenhaut was the engineer that designed the racing version of that car (convertible) and then the 300SL roadcars. He also designed that specific car, two were built and he took one of them as his daily driver. Mercedes owns both today. Some of most beautiful, elegant, ahead of their time machines ever built. Great video of something not often seen.

You call this ugly car dream?

The man has the coolest job driving the world's most expensive car

It’s like driving a nascar as a daily 😆😆

The sound is amazing

A wonderful, special treat -- I was smiling the entire time!!

Yes-that beast was good for 200+MPH-in 1954. Rudi Uhlenhaut had 2 of them built & he drove them all over the continent following the Mercedes team. Pure intimidation-and sheer technical brilliance as well.

Imagine having a car SO loud, everytime you start 'er up, you break the sound barrier

It doesn't start, it explodes. Had a big twin m/cycle once that was similar. It set off car alarms. I miss it so much!

That mechanic literally stomped on those seats and nearly cracked the steering wheel. I expect no less.

It’ll be fine, Mercedes where built well

I'd rather a 250 GTO personally but that car is beautiful

And it's just been bought at a whole $145M!!!

What an angry sounding car. Epic. Not sure about the price estimates, but the car is certainly a gem and certainly priceless. As a lifelong Mercedes fan, would absolutely love to drive that thing. The only way would be if I were to build my own. What can be made by the hand of man can be remade.

There are two cars. One of them sold for 143 million Dollar to a collector. So the estimate was pretty spot on. Most expensive car for sure.

Damn I remember Sterling Moss (Late Formula car racer) used to drive this car. Unfortunately he is no more since 2020.

@Supercar Blondie I recieved a notification that you replied. Thanks for replying 🤩 Although Its not visible at my side but I read the message in it through notification ❤️

Just one thing: Frankfurt- Munich can‘t be the distance he took: it‘s too far. You probably ment Stuttgart - Munich

It feels good just looking at it! When I lived in Heidelberg Germany, I was astonished to see a clean 300SL in a garage at the social housing apartments. Dude really pulled the wool over the system.

@Mark Novack - In case you aren't aware, there is a huge difference between a 300 SL and the 300 SLR. The SL is a six cylinder while the SLR is an eight cylinder.
