The Uhlenhaut Coupé

The most valuable car in the world. Mercedes-Benz 300 SLR

by René Staud, Jürgen Lewandowski, Markus Bolsinger, Gerhard Heidbrink

Luxury meets luxury: special edition of ‘The Uhlenhaut Coupé’

The headline was all over the media in 2022: a Mercedes 300 SLR, known as the ‘Uhlenhaut Coupé’, was auctioned off for 135 million euros, making it the most valuable car in the world. There are only two examples of the coupé made famous by Rudolf Uhlenhaut in 1955 in the world, the other of which can be seen in the Mercedes-Benz Museum. The car became legendary due to the fact that it offered outstanding performance, but was never used for racing.

Instead, Uhlenhaut used one of the cars as a company car and allegedly covered the 220 kilometres between Stuttgart and Munich in just one hour - quite a feat with an engine output of 300 hp and an unladen weight of just under one tonne. Even today, the key data of this early ‘hypercar’ are still impressive. This magnificent, large-format book sheds light on all facets of the 300 SLR, starting with the exquisite photographs by René Staud and Markus Bolsinger and rounded off with the knowledgeable texts by Jürgen Lewandowski and Gerhard Heidbrink.
