The car’s story
The Mercedes Simplex 40 PS was an improved version of the Simplex 35 HP. Its four-cylinder engine was enlarged to 6.7 litres and developed 40 PS at 1,100 rpm, enabling the short-wheelbase car to reach 80 km/h.
This was the car that brought success to the Mercedes brand. The open-bodied vehicle had a simple design and was relatively reliable. Natural wood and leather were used in the construction of the rear-wheel-drive Mercedes Simplex 40 PS.
