They created a raffish and, for its time, aerodynamic vehicle. The car was equipped with a cantilevered headrest an a sidewise-installed exhaust pipe system. With all this, the W25 was born. A supercharged 8-cylinder inline engine with an output of 354 hp was the reason why this car had more than enough power and an unbelievable acceleration that put to shame all its competitors, such as Auto Union, Alfa Romeo, Bugatti and Maserati. The W25 made its debut at the Nürburgring on June 3rd, 1934. With Manfred von Brauchitsch at the wheels, it became the winner of dthe first race, namely, Eifel race. That day entered into racing history as the birthday of the Silver Arrows. According to many publications, the W25 was originally painted in white. But the car was one kilogram too heavy. Unless its weight was reduced to 750 kg or less, there would be no racing for the W25. So the Mercedes team was looking for ways of shedding its weight and getting the car cleared for the start line. They enventually came up with the idea of scraping the paint. As a result, the car appeared in its aluminium body of a shiny silver. With the car allowed to start, a great victory and a legend were born! Lately, there has been discussion in regard to how the W25 actually acquired its silvery outlook. It means that there is doubt about the truth of the story above. We say, let the experts do their research. The CMC GmbH just wants to display how the first appearance of the W25 looked like. Judge by yourself, but we think the white colour looks pretty good on him. If you are also interested in the silvery version of the W25, feel free to order it, its item number being M-033.
