Chassis:
First used as a spare car at Silverstone, the second and last C9 built in 1987 was first raced at Le Mans. Starting 7th, drivers Chip Ganassi and Johnny Dumfries were forced to retire with a gearbox failure. Its first victory was scored at the Jerez World Championship round in 1988 and it would go on to win at Brno later in the year and at Brands Hatch in 1989. By that time, it had been updated to the 1989 specification complete with four-valve engine. Preserved in its 1989 configuration, it has been retained by Mercedes-Benz and is regularly displayed at events like the Essen Motor Show or Retromobile.
