For the racing coach of Mercedes Benz - Alfred Neubaner - only one victory was missing, the CARRERA PAN AMERICANA, a long distance race in Latin America. With four competition cars -the Germans Kling and Lang in coups, the American John Fitch and a German journalist named Gunther Molter in roadsters -together with a team of 35 service people the crew flew to Latin America in November 1952. The engines of the 300 SL were borne out of 3.1 liter, and reached therefore 177 HP. On November 19, 1952, Kling`s car collided with a buzzard 50 km ahead of Tehuantepec (Mexico). In this accident the windshield was broken and afterwards safeguarded by the metal grid.
