The car was based on the company’s successful W 196 R Grand Prix car, which won two World Championships with driver Juan Manuel Fangio.
Mercedes-Benz said it will donate the proceeds to create a fund for scholarships and educational research into the environment and decarbonization.
Mercedes-Benz CEO Ola Källenius said the scholarship fund would allow more people from around the world to follow in the footsteps of the car's creator, Rudolf Uhlenhaut.

Company design chief Rudolf Uhlenhaut, architect of both the 300 SLR racer and the hybrids, appropriated one of the leftover mules as his personal car. Capable of approaching 290 km/h (180 mph), the Uhlenhaut Coupé was by far the fastest road car in the world in its day.
