Mercedes-Benz S Barker Tourer '29 Le mans Circuit de la Sarthe pit stop replay showcase.
"This very unique sports car was the first from Mercedes-Benz and is known for its characteristic boat tail styling."
Produced from 1927 to 1933, the Model S is considered the first sports car produced by Mercedes-Benz. Designed by Dr. Ferdinand Porsche, the Model S chassis boasted much improved performance than that of its predecessor, the Model K. Powering the car was a supercharged 6.8*-liter inline-6 that produced 177.5 HP, which was quite high in its day.
This Model S shown here won the Best of Show and the Gran Turismo Trophy at the 2017 Pebble Beach Concours d'Elegance. Nicknamed the "Barker Tourer", this car was a one-off and remains very valuable. It was first owned by Earl Howe, a decorated racing driver who won both the Mille Miglia and the 24 Hours of Le Mans and was a co-founder of the British Racing Driver's Club. He commissioned Barker, a British coachbuilder founded in 1710, to build him a lightweight tourer body with a boat-tail design, and the company delivered him the beauty you see here.
