And the rest of the high-speed silverware from Stuttgart for the “Silver Jubilee”? Mercedes-Benz Classic was present with many racing cars. W 25 from 1934, W 125 from 1937, W 154 and W 165 from 1939, 300 SLR (W 196 S) from 1955 and CLK-LM from 1998, plus the chassis of the W 125 record-breaking twelve-cylinder car from 1938, which, with its streamlined body, raised the record in that year to 437 km/h: These abbreviations and dates are a mouth-watering prospect for connoisseurs, for they know about the technology and the racing successes. But when the engines roar into life in the Goodwood paddock and the earth begins to quake, the acoustic spectacle alerts even non-brand connoisseurs to the tremendous power of these famous racing cars.
