English: Pebble Beach in 2012. Mercedes-Benz developed a new version for the 1953 racing season by adding fuel injection and 16-inch wheels. The gearbox was installed on the rear axle. Its body was made of Elektron, a magnesium alloy, to reduce the weight by 85 kilograms (187 pounds).
However, the car was not used because Mercedes-Benz decided to take part in Formula One from 1954 onward.
Later versions revised the body for lower air resistance and did not adopt the transmission arrangement.
