12. Mercedes SSK Count Trossi
With its enormous seven-liter straight six engines, supercharger and unique body an Italian aristocrat designed, the Mercedes SSK Count Trossi is one of the most valuable cars in the world. They based it on the Mercedes SSK racing car, offering it in 1930. However, two years later, they fitted it with a unique body style.
This black roadster was a racing machine with a lightweight and powerful engine. And yet they designed it to be a luxurious roadster. Although Count Trossi wasn’t a car designer per se, he had a great eye for lines and details. And the result is an aggressive creation that is elegant at the same time.
