Mercedes 500K History
Definitely one of the most desirable masterpieces in pre-war period. This car foresaw the trend of
Mercedes-Benz, that is, incomparable build quality and elegance of design. Both 500K and 540K were not serious sports cars, unlike the SSK. Although the supercharged engines still developed remarkable 160 and 180 hp respectively, excessive weight of over 2 tons limited their performance. In fact, they were real Grand Tourer. Quality, elegance and comfort were their biggest concern. Today, after 60 years, while Alfa Romeo and Bugatti are causing so much headache to the restorers, Mercedes 500K/540K is proved to be the most durable pre-war car.
