The so-called \"Blue Wonder\" was the fastest truck in the world for many years and was used exclusively for transporting Mercedes-Benz racing cars. From 1956, the racing transporter served as an exhibition vehicle and eye-catcher in the USA, until it was scrapped in the 1960s.

Mercedes-Benz had big plans and sent an armada of four 300 SLR racing cars, which were used for the first time. Well-known top drivers were to challenge the fiercest competitors such as Ferrari, Maserati and Aston Martin for victory. Half of Italy was on its feet, eagerly anticipating the national racing event. The cars started from the famous starting ramp in Brescia at minute intervals. As the first of the Mercedes team, J.M. Fangio, as a solo driver, left the start and finish point Brescia at 6:58 a.m. with the randomly drawn start number 658 (start number = start time). The next SLR driver, Karl Kling, took to the 1600 km long track at 7:01 a.m. with start number 701. After that, the driver team around Hans Herrmann with co-driver Hermann Eger with start number 704 said goodbye to Brescia at 7:04 a.m. and pushed the SLR to its limits. Last but not least, the young daredevil Stirling Moss with his co-driver Denis Jenkinson launched himself into the race at 7:22 a.m. with start number 722. Due to his prudent driving style and his outstanding skill behind the wheel, J.M. Fangio reached the finish line in Brescia as the second winner, behind the winner Stirling Moss (also in an SLR).\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e \u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003e© Daimler AG - Mercedes-Benz licensed product\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"LEGRAND","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":49726618468688,"sku":"LE87302","price":32.9,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0877\/3553\/3904\/files\/LE87302.jpg?v=1773247231"},{"product_id":"mercedes-benz-300-slr-uhlenhaut-coupe-silber-innen-rot-massstab-1-87","title":"Mercedes-Benz 300 SLR Uhlenhaut Coupe, silver, red interior, scale 1\/87","description":"\u003cdiv\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-family: Arial;\"\u003eLEGRAND 1:87 plastic model, highly detailed design and printing, blue interior, delicate rims, length: 50mm. \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-family: Arial;\"\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\" align=\"left\"\u003eOne of the intellectual fathers of the \"Uhlenhaut Coupe\" and the 300 SLR Roadster racing versions (W196S) was Rudolf Uhlenhaut, head of the testing and racing department.
