Mercedes-Benz Icons Up for Auction

Two high-profile Mercedes-Benz cars are set to capture the attention of collectors and enthusiasts alike. The luxury Mercedes-Benz GLS 63 AMG, previously owned by football star Erling Haaland, is on auction, offering fans a piece of memorabilia linked to the legendary athlete. Meanwhile, a historic 1954 Mercedes-Benz W 196 R Streamliner, driven by racing icons Juan Manuel Fangio and Sir Stirling Moss, is expected to fetch over €50 million at an upcoming auction, marking it as one of the most expensive cars ever sold. This car, pivotal in Mercedes-Benz's 1954-55 Formula One dominance, promises an unparalleled piece of motorsport history for its new owner. The auction is organized by RM Sotheby’s, benefiting the Indianapolis Motor Speedway Museum, which has preserved this vehicle since 1965. These auctions highlight the allure and historical significance of Mercedes-Benz vehicles in both sports and racing heritage.
