Beschreibung

The Mercedes-Benz 540K was first shown at 1936 Paris Motor Show, in several body variants, and with a great deal of customization options available (typical for times when cars were manufactured manually by skilled craftsmen rather than using an assembly line). Despite the fact that it was created just a few decades after invention of the car, its look, its craftsmanship, and the luxury it offered can still rival pretty much any car. Its performance wasn’t left behind: below the beautifully crafted bonnet, there was a 115 HP engine and a supercharger that could increase that power to 180 HP for short periods of time, allowing top speeds of 170 km/h.
