CMC Diecast 1:18 Mercedes SSKL 8 1931 Ltd. One manufacturer dominated the racing scene from the mid to the late 1920’s; & even in 1931. That manufacturer was Mercedes-Benz with its legendary supercharged models from the SSK series. The race cars of that period proved their performance in a variety of races. The Mercedes-Benz racers were called the “ White Elephants” because of their overwhelming power & great size. 1931 became a very special year for the talented driver Rudolf Caracciola & his SSK.

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 & the Auto Union.
