Fastest Street Rod of Its Time 1928 Mercedes-Benz SSK Dr. Porsches Final Mercedes Masterpiece 1928 was Dr. Ferdinand Porsches last year as Technical Director of Mercedes-Benz and brought with it his greatest achievement for the company, the SSK. With the "k" standing for "Kurtz" or short, the SSK has a wheelbase of only 116" (17" less than the SS). Weighing only 2680 lbs., its massive 431.4 cubic inch engine, when equipped with the Roots-type supercharger, had a top speed of 120 mph. It was the fastest street automobile of its time and Mercedes had to warn its customers not to use the supercharger (it made an awful howl) unless 100% necessary. Precision Engineered from Mercedes-Benz Specifications Every book about classic cars, from "Great Cars of the 20th Century" to "The Art of the Automobile-The 100 Greatest Cars", lists the 1928 SSK as a masterpiece of automotive design and engineering. From its gleaming front grille, newly enlarged tires, and famous triangular hood ornament through the detailed interior and to the double spare tires, this is the car the Grand Prix Hall of Famer Rudolph Caracciola drove to victory after victory in the late 1920s and early 1930s. Only 31 SSKs were ever produced and this 1:18 precision scale beauty is a must for every serious collector. Model Features Opening Hood Weighing only 2,680 lbs Working Steering System Wheelbase of only 116" (17" less than the SS) Detailed Interior Includes Gear Shift, Emergency Brake and Mercedes Famous Steering Wheel Supercharged 431.4 Cubic Inch Inline 6 Engine Produced 225 Horsepower Precision DieCast Replica Baked Enamel Finish 1:18 Scale Model 9.50 Inches Long
