The 30 Best Mercedes-Benzes of All Time

1930 710 SSK Trossi Roadster

If your car has 300hp and 507 lbs of torque today, that would be considered an impressive vehicle. But back in 1930, it was almost impossible to comprehend. The powerful straight six engine was supercharged and could reach a top speed of 120mph. At the time, it was a real speed demon.

Three hundred horsepower and 507 ft-lbs of torque is a lot today. Three hundred horsepower and 507 ft-lbs of torque were Earth-shattering in 1930. The 7.0L supercharged straight six in the 710 SSK made just that, and thus propelled one of the most striking two tons of metal ever made all the way to 120mph.
