Benz & Cie. competes in the third Prinz Heinrich Rally (Berlin –  Brunswick – Kassel – Nuremberg – Strasbourg – Metz – Homburg v. d. H.) with specially adapted touring sports cars. Their 100 hp / 74 kW four-cylinder engines boast 7.2 litres of displacement and, in a new development at Benz, a four-valve design. However, despite their state-of-the-art technology, they can only finish in eighth and tenth positions. The most successful Benz driver is Fritz Erle, who takes fifth place in his 80 hp special touring car.
