1914 Mercedes 115HP

The 1914 Mercedes-Benz Grand Prix car was a very advanced machine. It featured an engine with four valves per cylinder, and two exhaust and two intake valves in one combustion chamber. With this setup, the engine had a high RPM rate, with speeds exceeding 3000 revolutions-per-minute. The 4.5-liter powerplant offered 115 horsepower and the use of superior engine continued throughout the vehicle. Though mechanically advanced, it had a conservative and minimalistic design.
