1955 Mercedes-Benz 300 SLR Uhlenhaut Coupe

Maximum speed reached 300 km/h. Regarded as the world's fastest car in the 1950s. Only 2 of these hard top road-legal coupes were built. Mercedes Benz withdrew from racing in 1955 before these two prototypes had their chances to compete. Both cars are still owned by the Mercedes Benz company.
