Video – George Russell Unleashes Priceless Retro Supercar Fury at British GP!

George Russell Unveils Rare Retro Supercar at British GP

British racing sensation, George Russell, made a jaw-dropping entrance at the Silverstone circuit in a priceless Mercedes C111 supercar. The stunning retro vehicle, one of only 17 prototypes ever built, turned heads with its bright orange gullwing doors opening dramatically as Russell arrived.

Originally showcased at the 1969 Frankfurt Motor Show, the Mercedes C111 served as a pioneering testbed for cutting-edge technologies like Wankel engines and multi-link rear suspension. Despite never going into production, these rare supercars played a crucial role in shaping Mercedes’ future road cars.

Powered by a 4-rotor engine, a diesel variant of the C111 hit a staggering 210 mph at the Nardo Ring in 1978. This weekend, Mercedes is showcasing the futuristic CONCEPT AMG GT XX, painted in the same Sunset Beam Orange as Russell’s C111, hinting at the brand’s innovative future.

Markus Schäfer, from Mercedes-Benz Group AG, highlighted, “The CONCEPT AMG GT XX provides an insight into pioneering drivetrain technology and the future of performance, thanks to collaboration across our global R&D network.”

Although the supercar on display isn’t owned by Russell, it stands alongside the iconic W196, driven by Stirling Moss to victory in the 1955 British Grand Prix. This weekend is pivotal for Russell as speculation mounts about his future, especially with rumors of Toto Wolff negotiating with Max Verstappen for a Mercedes seat.

Remaining loyal to Mercedes, Russell expressed confidence in his future, stating, “I am focused on my side, and the likelihood I’m not at Mercedes next year, I think is exceptionally low.”

As the British Grand Prix unfolds, all eyes are on Russell to deliver a stellar performance at his home race amidst the swirling rumors and intense pressure in the Formula 1 paddock.
