CMC is known for manufacturing high-end replicas that are true to minute details and built of premium materials. This new SSKL is designed to show the premium materials used: Zinc alloy, brass, copper, aluminum, tin plate, stainless steel, rubber, leather and so on. To this end, the replica must be left unpainted. That is what CMC did for this limited edition, except that the body is protected with a clear coat. The SSKL limited edition is dedicated to CMC’s 15th anniversary as a token of our gratitude to all customers and friends for being so loyal to the CMC brand over the years. We will persist in our pursuit of excellence so that CMC can live up to your expectations. In 1931, both Alfa Romeo and Bugatti became tough competitors against Mercedes-Benz. As a counter-measure Mercedes developed a light-weight version of the “White Elephant” originally designed by Ferdinand Porsche. The nickname referred to the unbelievable power, bulky size, and white painting of the vehicle. It shed an unbelievable 125 kilograms by having holes drilled in all parts of the frame that were not safety-related. The lightened SSK became the SSKL. A storm of sensation arose in April 1931. For the first time a non-Italian won the world-famous Mille Miglia. Driving his Mercedes-Benz SSKL, Rudolf Caracciola won a victory of historic proportion. The victory seems even more amazing since Caracciola had received inadequate support from Mercedes due to the ongoing global economic crisis.
