Benz Grand Prix racing car.

In 1908, Benz & Cie. stepped up its activities in international motorsport. The company lined up with a newly developed car in races including the French Grand Prix. The return to racing was successful, with Benz drivers Héméry and Hanriot finishing second and third – behind a Mercedes. Benz was the only team which saw all three of its cars cross the finish line.
