Just over a year after the Mercedes-Benz S was first introduced, the SS debuted, with a light chassis, a more powerful engine, and a slightly higher radiator. The SS was undoubtedly a car for the wealthy, costing about double the price of a Bugatti Type 46. Mercedes ultimately made 146 examples of the Model S and 111 of the Model SS. Although Mercedes itself bodied most of these cars, some were bodied by independent coachbuilders such as Erdmann & Rossi, Castagna, and Jacques Saoutchik.
The body of this particular Model SS was built by Mercedes-Benz in its Sindelfingen factory, but it appears to have had some French influences. This is perhaps most notable in the design of the doors, with the rounded bottoms often seen on cars coached by Saoutchik.
