Mercedes-Benz Classic - 125 Years of Motorsports with Mercedes-Benz
Press release available only in original language.
Fantastic rally successes are an exciting chapter in 125 years of Mercedes-Benz motorsports. Every rally is a real adventure – sometimes on surfaced roads, sometimes on gravel, sometimes in the desert, on ice or through the jungle, often through different countries and even across several continents. In running these original vehicles with popular drivers in renowned classic motorcar regularity rallies, Mercedes-Benz today commemorates the rally successes of the 1950s to 1980s under the sign of the star. The permanent exhibition at the Mercedes-Benz Museum, showing victorious rally vehicles, brings the brand’s motorsport chapter to life.
Stuttgart. From Monte-Carlo to Solitude, from Dakar to the Silvretta High Alpine Road: these and other locations reflect the diversity of Mercedes-Benz rally history, especially since the brand’s return to motorsports after the end of the Second World War.
Monte team: In 1952, Mercedes-Benz returned to the motorsports scene. In January of that year, Karl Kling, Rudolf Caracciola, and Hermann Lang competed in the Rally Monte-Carlo in three Mercedes-Benz 220 (W 187) cars. In 1960, Walter Schock and Rolf Moll achieved a successful win at the “Monte” in a Mercedes-Benz 220 SE “fintail” saloon car (W 111) and led a triple victory for the Stuttgart brand. A modern echo of the successes of that time: in 2019, the Mercedes-Benz 280 S (W 108), rebuilt during the “Project Retro Rally”, took part in the AvD Histo Monte.
