Only 333 pieces are to be manufactured.
――The long-distance race, which was planned in 1933 under the easy-to-understand name [2000km across Germany], seemed to be a sports competition, but behind it was a clear intention to show the capabilities of the German automobile industry. ..
--At the 1934 event, under the command of Corps Commander Adolf Hühnlein, industry was urged to be more involved.
――The most famous of these was the debut of six new Mercedes-Benz Type 150s.
――But that wasn't enough for the Swabian company, and a total of six cars were built for long-distance travel, additionally called [factory cars].
--The model was based on the newly developed [Type 500 with compressor].
--Of the vehicles used in the race, there are cabriolet specifications and closed body sports specifications, and the coupe version of the closed body was published in the literature under the name [Sports Roadster] and was produced by the young Rudolph Woolenhowts. ..
--The streamlined design was adopted for the modification of the Type 500 body, and various minor changes were made compared to the commercial model.
--The aerodynamic silhouette of its streamlined body was probably based on the iron and wood substructure.
--The rear part has a very beautiful design with a small foldable window and a cover that covers the spare wheel.
--The work done at the Swabian factory is little known, as is the fate of the six racing cars.
――The only certainty is that none of them remain to this day.
