The openwork frame parts to reduce weight, the huge compressor engine and the aerodynamic line are also fascinating in the model. Since all the necessary materials are included, you can achieve the historical painting effortlessly. It is a compact model with great charisma that is reminiscent of a time when racing drivers were still real heroes.
Background information
The SSKL was the crowning achievement of the successful S series from Mercedes-Benz. The name stood for “Super-Sport-Short-Light”. To reduce the weight, the engineers even drilled holes in the vehicle frame - a radical measure at the time. The 7.1-liter six-cylinder engine produced a massive 300 hp with the compressor switched on. Rudolf Caracciola's victory in the 1931 Mille Miglia in this car is considered one of the greatest achievements in motorsport, as he competed against the superiority of Alfa Romeo without factory support and won.
