The Mercedes-Benz /8 was first presented to customers in 1968, where the /8 stands for the presentation year. This saloon with very modern styling superseded the tail-fin model of the Mercedes-Benz range on sale since 1959. As a 200-series model, the vehicle produced 95 PS and reached a top speed of 165 km/h. Up until production was discontinued in 1976, more than 1.8 million of the /8 vehicles were produced. Schuco is going to produce a miniature model of this Mercedes-Benz -/8 to a scale of 1:64. Edition 1:64 models come with a metal body and chassis. In addition to the prototypical wheel rims, the Schuco 1:64 models stand out due to the many lovingly detailed components.
