The Volvo 122S was during its production period (1957 - 1970), with its 667,791 cars produced, the most popular vehicle from the manufacturer Volvo and thus even surpassed its predecessor PV544, also in terms of quality. Characteristic of the 122S model, which was released in 1958, was the B16 engine, which was powered with a displacement of 1.580 cm³ and a double carburettor system and thus made 56KW (76 hp). In 1961 the B18 motorized variant with 1.778 cm³ and 66KW (90PS) came onto the market. This motorization pushed the vehicle to a maximum speed of 148 km/h. The high level of quality is also reflected in the robust body and the two-tone paintwork.

The Mercedes-Benz W196 R was designed by Rudolf Uhlenhaut and Fritz Nallinger. Because of its streamlined shape, it was able to reach high speeds. The W196 R was built fourteen times, including the prototype. From the European Grand Prix on the Nürburgring, a version with free-standing wheels was switched to, which is also known as a monoposto. On a technical level, the vehicle was manufactured with the highest quality at the time and had, for example, a tubular space frame, a torsion bar suspension, an articulated swing axle and turbo-cooled duplex drum brakes. The 290 hp vehicles were driven by Juan Manuel Fangio and Stirling Moss. In the twelve Grand Prix races, the two were able to achieve nine wins from twelve Grand Prix races.
