CMC Diecast 1:18 Mercedes
W154 1938. In 1938 a new
racing formula was
introduced, which
limited the displacement
of racing cars with a
compressor to 3 litres.
This changed rule was
determining motor racing
sport of the succeeding
years. Mercedes-Benz
developed an entirely new
V12-engine with 485 hp
for the W 154. A 5-speed
transmission was added
and was directly mounted
on the de Dion rear axle.
One tank was in the rear,
a second in the cockpit,
above the driver’s
legs. In this vehicle the
drivers Caracciola,
Lang, von Brauchitsch
and Seaman of the
Daimler-Benz team gained
one victory after the
other. In 1938 Caracciola
became European Champion.
At the French Grand Prix
on the 3rd of July,
1938, Mercedes-Benz
gained a triple victory:
von Brauchitsch came in
first, Caracciola second
and Hermann Lang third.
In 1939 Hermann Lang
became European Champion
with the further
developed W 154.

W125 1937-38. Various
setbacks with the W25 in
1936 moved Daimler-Benz
to make decisive changes.
In order not to fall
behind Auto Union it was
quickly decided to begin
the new season with a
fully revised racing car.
At the beginning of 1937
the W125 was launched.
This new model would soon
prove that Daimler-Benz
had achieved a
masterpiece. The German
racing cars were now so
in advance of their
competitors that the
season was really just a
duel between
Mercedes-Benz and the
Auto Union. The W125
marked the technical
zenith in the
construction of racing
cars. Rudolf Caracciola
drove the W125 to four
season victories and for
this was proclaimed
European Champion of
1937. ****PLEASE EMAIL OR

W165 24 1939 (Ltd Ed).
The racing world had been
awaiting the new
“mini“ Silver Arrows,
Mercedes-Benz W165 with
great suspense. Its debut
was scheduled for the GP
of Tripolis, at the race
track of Mellaha, on the
7th of May in 1939.
Mercedes-Benz had managed
to develop and build this
new race car within 6
months. That was all the
time they had to adapt it
to the new rules that
allowed only 1.5 liter
engines. Hermann Lang
with starting number 16
and Rudolf Caracciola
with starting number 24,
were the pilots of choice
and they achieved a
sensational double
victory. Herman Lang
became the victor with
starting numer 16 (CMC
released that model
already in a limited
edition). Rudolf
Caracciola with starting
number 24 became second.
With the Caracciola
model, starting number
24, CMC completes its
presentation of the
victorious W165 twins of
Tripolis that achieved an
outstanding triumph for
Mercedes-Benz. V-8.

W165 Single Seater 1939.
In the thirties, the
most glamorous Grand Prix
races took place in the
North African city of
Tripolis. Since 1934 this
exotic paradise has
formed the exclusive
background of motor races
which were dominated by
the superiority of
Mercedes-Benz. As from
1939 the Grand Prix was
limited to 1.5 litre
cars, Mercedes-Benz
succeeded in building an
entirely new racing car
at a record pace the 1.5
litre W 165 with a
V8-engine and remarkable
256 hp. With this vehicle
Hermann Lang gained a
sensational victory which
was the result of an
outstanding team
performance and one of
the most unexpected
triumphs in the history
of motor sport. Therefore
it is not surprising that
this car and the Tripolis
race became a legend.

Union Type D 1938 In the
beginning of the year
1938 the racing team of
Auto Union had to face a
difficult situation: The
contract with Ferdinand
Porsche was cancelled,
and Bernd Rosemeyer was
killed in an accident in
January trying to break
the speed world record.
Eberan von Eberhorst
replaced Ferdinand
Porsche as designer. And
“Il Diavolo“ Tazio
Nuvolari could be won as
successor for the
national hero Rosemeyer.
The “Flying man from
Mantua” who got his
nicknames due to his
spectacular style of
driving won the Grand
Prix of Italy and England
in an Auto Union Type D
in 1938. In the following
year Auto Union gained a
double victory in Reims
withe the drivers H.P.
Müller and Schorsch
Meier despite the tough
competition of the
Mercedes Silver Arrows.
And Nuvolari gained the
last Grand Prix before
the Second World War with
an Auto Union Type D in
Belgrad on the 3rd of
September in 1939. The
Auto Union Type D newly
defines modeling: more
than 680 parts, each
hand assembled, make it
a collectors item par
excellence. The paint of
the body is of first
class quality. It gives
the car an excellent
brilliance that is
unparalleled in

Union C Type 4 1936 (Ltd
Ed) This racing car
developed by Ferdinand
Porsche wrote racing
history right away like
almost no other racing
car had done before: In
1936 Auto Union presented
with the Type C a
Monoposto which was
almost totally different
from all the other racing
cars known so far. What
stood out especially was
the unconventional design
of the sensational
16-cylinder. V-engine
installed behind the
driver and in front of
the rear axle – an
innovation which soon
became the accepted
thing. This high-
performance racing car
was above all so
successful because the
bullet with 520 hp was
driven by a highly
talented racing driver:
Bernd Rosemeyer. 1936 was
his most successful year
when he became European
Champion and won numerous
Grand Prix. In 1937 the
new ace of the Auto Union
could keep his main
competitor,
Mercedes-Benz, in check
as well and was able to
continue his successful
career with five further
wins. The Auto Union Type
C is handmounted from
1026 parts to an extra
class precision model.
The single parts are of
high-quality materials:
23 parts are zinc
die-cast, 754 of metal,
copper or are
photo-etched and 153 are
made of plastic. The
remaining 96 parts are
screws, rivets or
indicated screw heads.
The "sound-barrier" has
been broken: For the
first time CMC is
presenting a model in the
scale 1:18, which is
made of more than 1000
parts. 1936 was the year
of Auto Union and its
young driver Bernd
Rosemeyer. He became the
new star in the European
racing scene. It was a
clash of the titans,
Mercedes-Benz VS Auto
Union. The GP of Germany
on July 26 was just
another round of that
fight. The agile and
highly talented Bernd
Rosemeyer was able to
handle the 16 cylinder
v-engine powerhouse of
Auto Union Type C like no
one else ever had. The
mid-mounted engine of the
vehicle, developed by
Dr. Ferdinand Porsche,
broke new ground for its
timeWith his starting
number 4, Bernd
Rosemeyer achieved a
prestigious victory. His
team mate Hans Stuck,
also on Auto Union Type
C, became 2nd. Mercedes
had to leave the track
with empty hands this
time. Our limited edition

Count Carlo Trossi is

motor sport and was an
amateur racing driver. In
1931, he took over the
racing team of Enzo
Ferrari becoming its
second president and won
the very good second
place at the Mille Miglia
in 1932. In 1932, Count
Trossi bought the chassis
of the Mercedes SSK no.
36038 together with the
engine no. 77640 at
Mercedes in Rome. The
english bodyworker Willie
White gave the huge 7
litre a special body
which made the Trossi
Mercedes unique. While
the Mercedes series
production cars were
painted in white in the
30’s, Count Trossi,
however, let his SSK
shine in black. Count
Trossi owned the Black

SSKL 1931 - Mille Miglia.
By 1931 Alfa Romeo and
Bugatti had become
serious opponents for
Mercedes-Benz on the race
track. Professor
Ferdinand Porsche, head
of Mercedes-Benz’s
racing car development,
responded by reducing the
weight of the SSK, known
as “White Elephant“
because of its mighty
appearance, overwhelming
power and white painting.
Over 125kg were shed
after holes were drilled
in the frame and every
other possible place that
was not safety-relevant.
As a result, the SSK
transformed into the SSKL
(Super Sport Kurz Leicht
= Super Sport Short
Light). With this new
racing car, Afred
Neubauer (head of the
racing department) and
his very small crew,
undertook their greatest
racing adventure ever at
the Mille Miglia in 1931.
11th of April, 3:20 pm:
Rudolf Caracciola and his
co-driver Wilhelm
Sebastian started off
with the number 87
against their Italian
competitors. They
appeared unbeatable from
early on. The 1, 635 km
roadway stretched from
Brescia to Bologna,
Florenz, and Rom. Then
the racers had to cross
the Abruzzo region and
continued along the
Adriatic coast to Ancona,
where they turned to
headed back to Bologna,
Ferrara, Treviso, and
finally Brescia. 12th of
April, 7:22 am: After 16
hours, 10 minutes and 10
seconds, the victor of
the Mille Miglia crossed
the finish line. He set
an outstanding new track
record, averaging101.1
km/h. To make the
sensation complete, it
was the first time in the
history of the Mille
Miglia that the
championship was won by a
non-Italian driver in a
car of foreign make:
Rudolf Caracciola, the
titan of the steering
wheel in a Mercedes-Benz
SSKL. It was a time when
economic depression was
plaguing the world. There
was little support that
Mercedes could have
granted to its racing
team. The team didn’t
even had enough men for
all the refuel stops. So
the small crew had to
take shortcuts so that
they could reach the next
refuel stop before
Caracciola. We are
celebrating the 75th
anniversary of this
terrific victory in 2006.
CMC observes the occasion
of this event with a
perfect replica of the
unforgetable champion
car. After extensive and
time-consuming research,
CMC is able to uncover
many details that are
important in presenting
the original look of the
1931 Mille Miglia victor.
All these details are
incorporated into the
precision model that CMC
is offering to you. This
all-metal model is
composed of 1, 885 parts.

Targa Florio 1924 - Red.
The traffic route of the
Targa and Coppa Florio,
the race of „7.000
curves”, led through
tight mountain roads
right through the
mountain villages of
Sicily. The Targa Florio
included four rounds,
the Coppa one more. Each
round had a length of 108
km. To win the Targa,
doesn`t ment to win the
Coppa also, because to
stay one more round in
this hard street race,
was no walk in the park.
Christian Werner made it
– supported by his
co-pilot Karl Sailer. The
major job of Sailer was
to keep the gas tank per
manual pump under
pressure and take care
about the grease
lubrication. At the 27th
of April in 1924 the team
wins with the compressor
Mercedes both titles.
Also they were able to
establish a new track
record with 1 hour and 35
minutes for one round.
His team mates Christian
Lautenschlager and Alfred
Neubauer placed 10th and
15th. In the team
competition Mercedes
placed 1st, 2nd and 3rd.
Some confusion caused the
painting of the bolids.
Instead of the typical
white painting of German
racing cars of that time,
the Targa Florio came

CMC Diecast 1:18 Maserati
Birdcage Tipo 61 1960. A
charmingly graceful body
designed by the
mastermind Giulio
Alfieri, who integrated
a light frame of barely
30kg with more than 200
single pieces of tube.
Because of this
engineering innovation,
the Maserati Tipo 60/61
acquired the legendary
nickname “Birdcage”.
Only 23 units were made
during the years from
1959 through 1961. The
American Lucky Casner was
one of the most
successful owners of the
Birdcage Tipo 61. In May
1960, Stirling Moss and
Dan Gurney won the 1,
000-km race of
Nürburg-ring. With the
starting number 5, they
accomplished an
outstanding victory in
the pouring rain against
keen competition. Only
one year later the
Camoradi Team (Casner
Motor Racing Division)
repeated the winning
record with Casner and
Gregory as the drivers.
These consecutive
victories added new glory
to Maserati and sustained
its everlasting top
position in the
illustrious circle of
racing car manufacturers.
Our model is composed of
1, 140 single parts, 507
of which are made of
stainless steel, copper,
and brass. This model is
an exact replica of the
winning car of Moss/
Gurney. What is
extraordinary about its
build is the adherence of
its body to a cage-like
framework as if it were a
second skin. While
looking at the exact
details of this model,
you are likely to feel
transported back to the
adventurous experience of
racing in old times.
