Publisher's Synopsis
Among the rarest and most exciting classic cars are the supercharged Mercedes cars of the 1920s and 1930s, exemplified by the fire-breathing S, SS, SSK and SSKL models. There were other models too, going back to 1923 and on to the construction of the last mighty 770K in 1942. All of the models and the long, pioneering history of supercharging by Mercedes are described in this book.
