The Racing Prototype "Hobel" (W 194/11): A Glimpse into Motorsport Innovation
In 1952, the 300 SL motor-racing car (W 194) marked Mercedes-Benz's triumphant return to motorsport post-World War II. Among the ten built, a special 1952 racing prototype, "Hobel," emerged as a testament to innovation. Featuring a direct petrol injection engine producing 158 kW (215 hp), transaxle configuration, and distinctive angular design, the "Hobel" was crafted for the 1953 season but never raced due to the brand's shift to Formula One in 1954.
