1914 Mercedes 115HP Grand Prix<\/h1>\n

In 1914 Mercedes-Benz would make a triumphant return to successfull Grand Prix racing. That year Mercedes raced a 115HP double seater with the superior engineering. Previous aircraft engine design gave Mercedes valuable experience in lightweight construction. They particularly applied this knowledge to the devleopment of the 4.5-liter engine. The result was exceptional power-unit which excelled in several areas.<\/span><\/p>\n

For the valvetrain, Mercedes used four valves per cylinder. This made the 1914 GP car, the first DaimlerChrysler product to feature two exhaust and two intake valves in a single combustion chamber. Such a setup allowed the engine to revolve safely at 3200 rpm. During the period, this was the only car that could achieve a redline over 3000 rpm.<\/p>\n

The 115HP was conservative in design. Unlike some of the competition there was an absense of front brakes and only one overhead camshaft. The simplicity of the car let Mercedes focus more on reliability with strong construction materials and methods.<\/p>\n

With their potent package, Mercedes won first, second and third in the 1914 French Grand Prix held at Lyons. After the Lyons victory one of the cars was shipped to England for a showroom display. Shortly after delivery of car to England, World War One broke out. Immediately the car was turned over to Rolls-Royce for studing. This very car had had huge influence on the Rolls Royce Hawk engine which was made after the study.<\/p>\n

Indeed Mercedes develeped the superior engine in 1914. The powerplant proved itself so good in competition that eventually the British would copy the design to aid the war effort.<\/p>\n

We are like kids in a candy store, except the candy is made of metal, goes vroom-vroom, and occasionally bankrupts us faster than a sugar rush at a candy store sale! We spend hours debating the merits of turbochargers versus superchargers, and our weekends are a never-ending quest for the perfect polish and wax combo. We can identify every make and model by the sound of a revving engine, and our idea of a romantic evening is a candlelit dinner with our cars in the garage.","sameAs":["http:\/\/www.supercars.net","https:\/\/www.facebook.com\/Supercars.net\/","https:\/\/instagram.com\/super.cars.fans","https:\/\/x.com\/https:\/\/twitter.com\/supercars_net"],"url":"https:\/\/www.supercars.net\/blog\/author\/supercars\/"}]}},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.supercars.net\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/205897","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.supercars.net\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.supercars.net\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.supercars.net\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.supercars.net\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=205897"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.supercars.net\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/205897\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.supercars.net\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/205922"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.supercars.net\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=205897"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.supercars.net\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=205897"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.supercars.net\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=205897"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
