The Mercedes - Simplex

The Mercedes Simplex from 1902 is the great-grandfather of all racing cars and supersport cars. His technical innovation is considered as a quantum leap in regards to automotive development. Mercedes-Benz Classic brings four historic Simplex models on the legendary hill climb from Nice to La Turbie; a place where the Simplex achieved his first race win in 1902.

It's an incredible machine, and I am very lucky to have been a passenger in one! If I remember correctly, it was the very first car to feature a basic form of fuel injection (using steam). The one I experienced had 92 horse power, but I don't know if that's typical for this model. It was cenrtainly a thrilling experience, and the power was immense for such an old car. Thank you for posting this video!
