The Mercedes 500K (type 29) is a grand touring car built by Mercedes Benz between 1934 and 1936.
Mercedes Benz gave this 500K Cabriolet A to its Grand Prix team driver Manfred Vonn Brauchitsch as his personal car.
Pressing the throttle fully engaged the Roots supercharger, inducing the Five Litre straight-eight engine to produce up to 160 hp and making the car capable of over 100 mph.
There were only 33 of this variant produced in 1934.
