This bolide would soon prove that Daimler-Benz had achieved a
masterpiece. The German racing cars were now so advanced
beyond their competitors that one could really speak of a duel
between Mercedes-Benz and the Auto Union. The W 125 marked
the technical zenith in the construction of racing cars.
Rudolf Caracciola drove the W 125 to four season victories and for
this was proclaimed European Champion of 1937.
All parts of the W 125 are pieced together to give a valuable
collectors item. The love for details can be seen in the 51 small and
27 larger metal rivets and the laying of the 41 cables and wires.
