2012 Mercedes Benz C-Klasse Coupé DTM

Chassis: RS 12-001

Monocoque Numberr: V35-011

The Official Works Prototype Homologation Chassis.

Built for the Homologation, Tests, Tech and Aero Evolution as well as promotional use of the new Monocoque based DTM Series from 2012 till 2018.

Fully restored and revised by German DTM Racecar Specialist.

Ready to Race.

Number 1 of only 8 Chassis built for the 2012 Season and one of only 14 Chassis overall built for the complete Mercedes Benz DTM 2012-2018 Campaign.

One of the very rare Original Works Chassis in private hands.

Due to its use for Homologation, Evolution and Testing, the car was not used in heavy racing and is possibly the chassis with the lowest mileage per hour and in the best technical condition of all Mercedes Benz DTM chassis built.

Even though the car was not raced the actual livery of the car is the 2014 Vietoris Nr. 5 trim.

The Bodywork is the highly developed early 2014 Aero stand.

It is upgraded to the sophisticated 3rd Element Suspension 2015 Setup stand.

After homologation, this chassis received technical and aerodynamic developments. It was later used for promotional use and as a pit stop car. HWA AG did not plan to sell this chassis, but through very good contacts and a lot of patience the current owner was able to purchase this chassis.

The car was officially bought from the official manufacturer of Mercedes Benz Racing Cars HWA AG and comes with the original HWA purchase contract/invoice and the first original „Wagenpass“ from 2012.

Photo documentation of the purchase and restoration is available.

Additionall Equipment:

1 set of spare wheels

Data cable to run the car

A rare opportunity to purchase a piece of Mercedes Benz Motorsport and DTM History. An original Works Chassis of the worldwide highest developed touring car championship which received worldwide attention.

Worldwide Race Support for the new owner is possible and spare parts supply is secured to competively race this chassis in historic motorsport.
