1954 Mercedes Benz W196R Chassis No. 00006/54

Selling Price: $29,600,000 by Bonhams

By securing the first position in French GP, the 1954 Mercedes marked the comeback of Germany. Out of the 14 W196 units Mercedes built, only ten could survive. Another reason why this car is historically essential is that Fangio raced the same car. With an inline-eight engine with fuel injection and desmodromic valves, that price tag didn't come off as a surprise.
