Mercedes-Benz SSK
Motor vehicle
The Mercedes-Benz SSK (W06) is a roadster built by German automobile manufacturerMercedes-Benz between 1928 and 1932.
The name is an abbreviation of Super Sport Kurz, German for "Super Sport Short", as it was a short wheelbase development of the Mercedes-Benz Modell S. The SSK's extreme performance and numerous competitive successes made it one of the most highly regarded sports cars of its era.[1][2]
Design and achievements
The SSK was the last car designed for Mercedes-Benz by Ferdinand Porsche before he left to found his own company.[3][4] The SSK is an evolution of the 1927 Modell S (S for Sport) which was based on the Modell K (K for "Kurzer Radstand" which means short wheelbase) variant of the Mercedes-Benz Typ 630.
The SSK chassis was 19 inches (480 mm) shorter than the Modell S to make the car even lighter and more agile for racing,[5] especially short races and hillclimbs.
