The W06 established Mercedes-Benz as the undisputed leader in high-performance automobile manufacturing during the late 1920s.
Development focused on creating the ultimate supercharged sports car, combining the proven S-series foundation with enhanced power and racing refinement.
Production began in 1927 with the standard S model, followed quickly by the more powerful SS and the ultimate SSK variant.
Production ceased in 1932 as the global economic depression ended the era of expensive sports cars.
