Eine Rennlegende kehrt zurück zu einer der gefährlichsten Bergrennen der vergangenheit, zum Klausenrennen in der Schweiz. Der Silberpfeil W25, Baujahr 1934-1936ist der letzte seiner Artund wurde von Mercedes selber wieder aufgebaut.
Dieses Modell hat eine Leistung von 354 Ps und wurde früher auf einer Schotterstrasse den Berg hinaufgefahren. Der Rekord von damals liegt bei 15 Minuten und 22 Sekunden.
Rene Asch, der 2013 erneut mit dem Silberpfeil W25 an den Start ging konnte diesen Rekord schlagen, allerdings auf einer ausgebauten und asphaltierten Strasse. Er konnte die Strecke von rund 21.5 km und 136 Kurven später in einer Zeit von unter 15 Minute fahren.
A race legend returns to one of the most dangerous treasures of the past, to the Klausenrennen in Switzerland. The silver arrow W25, built in 1934-1936 is the last of its kind and was rebuilt by Mercedes himself.
This model has a power of 354 HP and was formerly driven uphill on a dirt road. The record of then was 15 minutes and 22 seconds.
Rene Asch, who again took the W25 silver arrow in 2013, was able to beat this record, but on a developed and asphalted road. He could drive the distance of about 21.5 km and 136 corners later in a time of under 15 minutes.

I never realised the supercharger makes such a whining noise.

This one does because as I understand it, it blows through the carbs? I'm no engineer but this setup was different than most. What a car. Nazi and all of that shit, but it is one of my favorite cars of all time. So rowdy. And so dangerous. Just... Wow.

@Christopher King -The only thing Nazi connected to this car is their money. The designers, builders and racers were not Nazis.

@@Loulovesspeed Elly Rosemeyer (Bernd's widow) related to a story where Bernd, Rudi, and Manfred were chatting in the pits. Hünnlein went up to them and told them to behave like 'true members of the Reich'. The moment his back was turned, Rosemeyer and Caracciola pulled faces and made silly gestures in his direction. Von Brauchitsch looked at his two rivals with distain, and gave the Nazi salute in the direction of Hünnlein...
