The famous Mercedes-Benz Typ SS/SSK were followed by the Typ 500K and 540K. Instead of being
very powerful sports cars, the newer 500K/540K were more comfortable, luxury and elegant. They became
as famous and desirable as their predecessor.
(The second engine is with the supercharger switched on)

The engine of this car was one of the prototype engines for a 540K-successor. |
