Mercedes-Benz racing tradition

1922 1923 1924
1926 1927 1928
Benz Tropfenwagen with advanced mid-engine layout
A spectacular – some would say revolutionary – automobile was being developed at the Benz plant in Mannheim at around the same time. The Tropfenwagen ("Teardrop") with its aerodynamic design and engine configuration behind the driver caused something of a sensation. In terms of technology and style, the new Benz racing car was clearly aligned to the famous Rumpler Tropfenwagen. Victory in its first race in Monza in September 1923 was a little too much to expect, but Fernando Minoia's fourth place as well as a special prize for the most unusual car in the race were considerable achievements.

This fascinating racing car took no further part in races in this format. This was due on the one hand to the economic crisis in Germany and, on the other, to the collaboration between Benz & Cie. (Mannheim) and Daimler-Motoren-Gesellschaft (Untertürkheim), which ultimately resulted in the fusion of the two companies to form Daimler-Benz Aktiengesellschaft on 28/29 June 1926. The racing activities leading up to the fusion were predominantly initiated by DMG.
