Mercedes 300 SLR Mile Miglia Winner 1955
The Mercedes-Benz 300 SLR etched its name into history with a stunning victory at the 1955 Mille Miglia. Driven by Stirling Moss and co-driver Denis Jenkinson, the 300 SLR completed the grueling 1,000-mile race in a record time of 10 hours, 7 minutes, and 48 seconds—a record that still stands. Powered by a 3.0-liter inline-eight engine producing 310 horsepower, the car combined cutting-edge engineering with lightweight construction, thanks to its magnesium-alloy body.
The pairing of Moss’s skill and the SLR’s groundbreaking performance cemented this win as one of motorsport’s greatest triumphs, showcasing the brilliance of both driver and machine.
