The original supersport: (before my days, LOL)

|1928| MERCEDES-BENZ 720 MODEL SSK, 27/170/225 HP
SPORTS CAR



6 Cylinders
Bore: 100 mm, Stroke: 150 mm
Displacement: 7068 cc
Output

at 2900 rpm- ohne kompressor: 125 kW (170 hp)
at 3300 rpmmit kompressor: 166 kW (225 hp)
Top speed: 192km/h

The letters SS stood for supersport and K for short wheelbase. The SSK is inseparably linked with names such as Rudolf Caracciola, Manfred von Brauchitsch and Hans Stuck, who ran up an impressive string of victories between 1929 and 1931. In 1930, Caracciola fought his way to victory in the European Sports Car Chanpionships in an SSK.
