For most ordinary people, owning a million level luxury car in their lifetime is an "extravagant hope", and those super runs that cost tens of millions of yuan are estimated to be experienced only in the game** The world's most expensive model, previously maintained by Ferrari 250 GTO in 1962, sold for a sky high price of $48 million in a recent auction. However, this record has been broken by Mercedes Benz 300 SLR.
Recently, according to foreign media reports, a 300 SLR silver arrow model produced by Mercedes Benz in 1955 was auctioned at a price of $142 million (about 964 million yuan), making it possibly the most expensive car in history**

It is reported that the reason why the car was sold at a sky high price of 142 million US dollars is that only two Mercedes Benz 300 SLR silver arrows were produced** The sports car being auctioned was sold by Mercedes from its internal collection of historical vehicles.
On May 6 not long ago, Mercedes Benz invited a few collectors with strong financial resources to take a private plane to Mercedes Benz headquarters in Stuttgart to participate in the private auction, and promised not to resell the vehicles obtained from the auction.

The name "Silver Arrow" was previously mostly used in various Mercedes cars produced before and after World War II. This series of cars produced by Mercedes Benz have achieved very good results in various competitions, among which w196 is one of the most successful vehicles in Mercedes Benz's history.
It won almost all the races they participated in in in 1955, but in a racing accident in 1955, Mercedes Benz's car flew into the audience and caught fire, resulting in 84 deaths, Mercedes Benz decided to withdraw from the Le Mans 24-hour rally, so only two of the car were left, which also made it out of print.
