This Mercedes-Benz S type in a four-passenger open touring car version meets even the highest expectations relating to a fast, top-class touring car. This example can be seen at the Mercedes-Benz Museum. With the S type, chief designer Ferdinand Porsche lays the foundation for the legendary reputation of the “white elephants”, as these cars are nicknamed due to their mighty appearance and also because of the piercing trumpet sound the compressor makes.

The Mercedes SS is based on the S model chassis. The in-line six-cylinder engine has an enlarged displacement of 7.1 litres. This enables an output of 140 hp (103 kW); turbocharged, the engine offers at least 200 hp (147 kW). During the German Grand Prix for sports cars at Nürburgring, the SS celebrates a triple victory.

The Mercedes-Benz S type is developed in 1927. 146 units are made until the phase-out of production in September 1928. Not all cars can be immediately sold, thus the S type still appears on pricelists even until 1930 and is sold from stock. This is nothing out of the ordinary at the time as chassis are often retained on stock to enable body builders to make a tailor-made body upon customer request. The touring car body is slightly drawn down behind the windscreen to allow the driver and co-driver to get on and off quickly during motorsports competitions. The back seats are designed for short trips rather and are thus accessible through a traditional, slim door.
