Silberpfeil Racing Car Red Seat

Translating to Silver Arrow, this Authentic Models Silberpfeil is a miniature historic racing car model of Germany's leading Mercedes-Benz and Auto Union (today known as Audi) Grand Prix racing car of the 1930s.

In 1934, the international motorsport governing body specified a maximum weight for Grand Prix racing cars of 750 kg, excluding tyres and fuel. The Germans decided to reduce weight by removing the lead-based paint which denoted its cars’ traditional white livery, exposing distinctive shining aluminium. Victory by one of these leads to the nickname Silver Arrow. Their successors, which were built on the same chassis, continued to race successfully at the Indy 500 after the war.
