LEGRAND Mercedes-Benz 300 SLR "Uhlenhaut Coupé" 1/8 Kit - "The Red One"
The Original: This coupé version of the 300 SLR racing sports car was developed by Daimler-Benz for the 1956 season. It was designed under the supervision of Rudolf Uhlenhaut, who was then head of the MB racing car department. This is commemorated today by the nickname "Uhlenhaut Coupé". However, it never saw action in a race because Mercedes-Benz withdrew from motorsport at the end of the 1955 season. The MB 300 SLR is one of the most spectacular and expensive super sports cars ever built and was far ahead of its time.
The original vehicle with the red interior (No. 008/55) was auctioned by Mercedes-Benz in May 2022 in a spectacular auction at the Mercedes-Benz Museum for the record price of 135 million euros to establish the "Mercedes-Benz Fund"!

A masterpiece in 1:8 scale – Quality you can feel Experience model building in a new dimension: LEGRAND 1/8 kits stand for uncompromising quality and attention to detail. The core is the pre-painted body made of solid die-cast metal, which gives the model a proud weight of around 8 kg.
From over 900 individual parts, an authentic replica of the original is created. We rely on a high-quality mix of materials including metal, rubber, textiles, and special plastics. Thanks to precise manufacturing, most components can be simply plugged or screwed together – model glue is only needed in very few sections. The result is not only visually impressive: steering and suspension are fully functional, while the gullwing doors and bonnets reveal the true-to-original interior.
