About The Mercedes-Benz W196 R

The W196 R was engineered for the 1954 and 1955 Formula One regulations, meeting the updated requirements of 750 cc with or 2500 cc without supercharger, flexible fuel choice, and long-distance race durations. This Silver Arrow proved dominant, taking nine wins from twelve races contested by Juan Manuel Fangio and Stirling Moss.
