      The rebirth of a legend

Mercedes-Benz racing tradition

1924: The first Mercedes racing car with eight-cylinder engine
Once again it was at the Italian Grand Prix in Monza that a new racing vehicle from Stuttgart announced its arrival. With its fierce-looking radiator design, the white 2.0-litre Grand Prix car succeeded in turning heads. A new-design supercharged eight-cylinder engine delivering 170 hp was housed behind the vertical radiator. The engine had been developed by Ferdinand Porsche, who had joined DMG as Technical Director from Austro-Daimler. He was followed by Alfred Neubauer, who was one of four drivers to pilot the eight-cylinder Mercedes-Benz in Monza and later became a legend as a race organiser at Daimler-Benz.

Monza was not a successful circuit for the new car, however. Having been subjected to limited testing, it was not strong enough to win in 1924. But two years later, the eight-cylinder supercharged Mercedes-Benz notched a major victory at the German Grand Prix at the AVUS circuit in Berlin. The 25-year-old Rudolf Caracciola and his co-pilot, Eugen Salzer, brought home not only a hard-fought triumph but also a seemingly impossible average speed of 135 km/h.
