- Description: The driver pairing of Rudolf Caracciola and Wilhelm Sebastian takes victory at the wheel of a Mercedes-Benz SSKL (W 06 RS) in the Mille Miglia, the 1000-mile race from Rome to Brescia and back, setting an average speed of 101.1 km/h over the 1635-km course. Caracciola thus becomes the first non-Italian winner in the history of the race. The SSKL (which stands for "Super Sport Short Light”) represents the final stage in the development of the S series and is only built as a race-trim two-seater. Under the bonnet is a 7-litre engine, which delivers 240 hp / 176 kW without and 300 hp / 221 kW with supercharger and enables a top speed of 235 km/h.
