By 1931 Alfa Romeo and Bugatti had become serious contenders for Mercedes-Benz on the race track. Professor Ferdinand Porsche head of Mercedes-Benz’s racing car development responded by reducing the weight of the SSK known as "White Elephant" because of its mighty appearance overwhelming power and white painting.

Die 1635 km long race track leads from Brescia over Florence to Rome further over the Abruzzo to the Adriatic Coast and from there back again to Brescia over Bologna.12th April 7:22 am: The winner of the Mille Miglia crossed the finish line in a new record time after 16 hours 10 minutes and 10 seconds.
