The Mercedes-Benz SSK (W06) is a roadster built by Mercedes-Benz between 1928 and 1932. The name is an abbreviation of Super Sport Kurz, German for "Super Sport Short", as it was a short wheelbase development of the Mercedes-Benz Modell S. The SSK's extreme performance and numerous competitive successes made it one of the most highly regarded sports cars of its era. The SSK was the last car designed for Mercedes-Benz by Ferdinand Porsche before he left to found his own company. Another beautiful and well-known SSK is the streamlined "Count Trossi"-bodied version owned and restored by fashion designer Ralph Lauren.
