The black race number and three-pointed star sit against softly illuminated aluminium, while riveted seams, the exposed exhaust and a single red taillight reveal the functional character of the car.

Its monochrome foundation and restrained red accent give the artwork a quiet but unmistakable presence. It belongs naturally in collector interiors, architectural homes, executive offices and spaces shaped by automotive culture and industrial design.

More than a star
Born from a mark Gottlieb Daimler once placed above his family home, the three-pointed star became the Mercedes emblem in 1909 — symbolising power on land, at sea and in the air. A simple form that became one of the most iconic symbols ever created.
