Most Expensive Car Ever Sold - 1955 Mercedes Benz 300 SLR Uhlenhaut Coupe

A 1955 Mercedes-Benz 300 SLR Uhlenhaut Coupe has become the most expensive car ever sold after selling for €135 million (approximately Rs 1,108 crore). The car – previously owned by Mercedes-Benz – was sold in a private auction conducted by RM Sotheby’s at the Mercedes-Benz Museum.

The value of the SLR Uhlenhaut Coupé derives from its extraordinary rarity and its significance to the origin story of the Mercedes brand. A descendant of the so-called Silver Arrow cars that dominated car racing in the 1930s, the front-engined 300 SLR was closely based on the eight-cylinder Mercedes-Benz W196 Formula One car driven by Argentine star Juan Manuel Fangio to win world championships in 1954 and 1955. But it had an even bigger, 3.0-liter engine and the moniker "SLR," which came from the German term sport leicht rennen (sport light racing).

• Only two 300 SLR Uhlenhaut Coupes were ever produced by Mercedes-Benz
• It gets a straight-eight engine capable of taking the car to 288kph
• Previous record for most expensive car was held by a Ferrari 250 GTO

The buyer has chosen to be anonymous, with the winning bid being placed on their behalf by Simon Kidston, head of historic car specialist Kidston SA.

 

Mercedes-Benz 300 SLR sold at record high price.

The Rs 1,108 crore price tag is a new world record for any car – more than twice the previous record – which was held by a Ferrari 250 GTO when it was sold in 2018 for £52 million (approximately Rs 503 crore).

Only two 300 SLR Uhlenhaut Coupes were made by Mercedes-Benz, and were named after their chief engineer, Rudolf Uhlenhaut. The car was designed as a road-going version of the W 196 R grand prix car, with a larger 3.0-litre straight-eight engine enabling it to hit speeds of up to 288kph. 

The car sold was chassis 00008/55 – the second of the two cars built, and the one that was used by Uhlenhaut himself frequently. This sale puts the 300 SLR as one of the most expensive items ever to be sold at an auction.

"If you had asked classic car experts and top collectors over the past half a century to name the most desirable car in the world, there's a good chance that they would have come up with the same model: the Mercedes-Benz 300 SLR. It's a combination of exotic engineering, all-conquering racing history, the power of the three-pointed star on its nose and the fact that one had never, ever been sold. Many collectors had tried, all had failed.”

The 1955 Mercedes Benz 300 SLR Uhlenhaut Coupe can also be referred as the “Mona Lisa of Cars”.

 

Previous record holders

• Many of the top priced cars sold at auctions have been Ferraris. The previous record holder, the Ferrari 250 GTO, had won the 1964 Le-Mans 24 hour. In 2013, a Mercedes-Benz W196 was sold at $29 million (approximately Rs 225 crore). Raced by Juan Manuel Fangio, it was the most expensive Mercedes-Benz to be sold at an auction until the 300 SLR Uhlenhaut.
