1924 Mercedes Monza<\/h1>\n

First Eight-cylinder Mercedes: This was the first car that Ferdinand Porsche himself designed in his new capacity as the chief designer of the Daimler-Motoren-Gesellschaft, and it was fitted with the first eight-cylinder engine that was designed for the company’s road vehicles. In the Monza race, however, the car turned out to be problematic and very difficult to control. Count Zborowski, one of its drivers along with Masetti, Neubauer and Sailer, lost his life in this race. This car scored its greatest triumph when it won the 1926 German GP with Caracciola at the wheel.<\/span><\/p>\n
