Silver Arrows Project : Mercedes-Benz W25 Eifelrennen 1934
The new Mercedes-Benz W25, painted in German white and one kilogram over the newly regulated 750 kilogram weight limit, sits in its garage at the Nürburgring and awaits almost certain disqualification for the next day’s race. In a last minute stroke of genius, the iconoclastic manager of the German team—Alfred Neubauer—orders the paint stripped off of the cars, resulting not only in a car that qualifies for the race, but a silver colored icon that will dominate auto racing until the breakout of World War Two. The Silver Arrows legend is born.
Limited 800 Pcs.
During the buildup to World War II, Germany dominated the Grand Prix circuit. Referred to as the Silver Arrows for their stripped-down metallic appearance, these super cars built by Mercedes-Benz and Auto Union took their place in auto-racing history due to their incredible performance in some of the most iconic races ever witnessed.
Our project recreates the story of the Silver Arrows using memorable moments from 12 different races and highlighting details that could never have been captured with the photographic technology of the time.
