A high-speed racing car transporter was developed by the Mercedes-Benz Design Department at the request of race manager Alfred Neubauer in 1954. The platform represents an elongated body from the Mercedes-Benz 300S extended so that a racing car could fit on the bed. The engine is borrowed from the 300SL, while components such as the doors, fenders and some interior items are from the Mercedes-Benz 180. Thanks to the use of a lightweight base and engine with a gearbox from the 300SL the transporter with an engine of 192 horsepower without cargo developed a top speed of 170 kph (which the inscriptions on the rear of the cars say). With racing car aboard, its maximum speed was slightly lower – 160 kph. Fast and with dashing looks, it soon became known as the Blue Wonder (Blaue Wunder). After Le Mans tragedy in 1955, Mercedes-Benz withdrew from motorsport, and the Blue Wander served as a show car in the United States, and then for over 10 years was used to conduct Mercedes-Benz test drives. In 1967, the car was cut on scrap metal. In the 1990s the Blue Wander was restored ad now is on display at the Mercedes-Benz museum in Stuttgart, Germany.
