Mercedes-Benz and the Rise of Group C Racing

Racing Legacy - Mercedes-Benz has always had a fascinating, though sometimes turbulent, history with sportscar racing. For a brand associated with luxury and engineering excellence, the motorsport world has presented both triumphs and tragedies. Mercedes has had a long and complicated relationship with various racing categories, but one of its most notable periods was during its time in the Group C category, particularly in the late 1980s and early 1990s.
The Mercedes-Benz C11, one of only six ever produced, was the most successful of them all, winning the 1990 World Championship, securing 4 pole positions and 4 race wins in 4 races, and participating in the 1991 Le Mans, making it one of the most collectible Group C race cars of all time. (Picture from: Mechatronikde)
In the mid-1980s, Mercedes-Benz’s involvement in sportscar racing began somewhat reluctantly. It was in 1986 when the company first entered the Group C scene, but only as an engine supplier to Sauber, which was responsible for building the chassis. This partnership led to the creation of the Sauber Mercedes C8, a car that made its debut at the prestigious 24 Hours of Le Mans in the same year. While the C8 showed promise, Mercedes’ commitment to Group C racing was minimal at the time.

However, the following year, Mercedes decided to dive deeper into the World Sports Prototype Championship (WSPC), a major motorsport series at the time. With more resources and a stronger commitment, the team achieved its first notable victory in 1988. The Sauber Mercedes C9, a more refined version of the earlier C8, won the championship, marking a major milestone for Mercedes in the sportscar racing world.

Mercedes-Benz’s involvement reached its peak in 1989, when the Silver Arrow became an iconic symbol in the world of motorsport. That year, Mercedes’ success in the WSPC was undeniable. The Sauber Mercedes C9 not only won the Driver, Team, and Constructor titles but also triumphed at the legendary Le Mans 24 Hours race. This victory was a testament to the skill and dedication of the driver trio Jochen Mass, Manuel Reuter, and Stanley Dickens. The success of the C9 was a turning point for Mercedes, elevating the brand’s status in the sport.

Entering 1990, the Mercedes-Benz C9 was replaced by the C11, a car that continued the brand’s dominance in the WSPC. The C11 achieved victory in seven of the eight series, with the only missed race being Le Mans, where Mercedes chose not to compete. This decision marked a brief but noteworthy chapter in Mercedes' racing history, as the C11's performance solidified its place among the most successful race cars of its time.

However, as the 1990s progressed, Mercedes-Benz encountered more challenges. The C11 was eventually replaced by the Mercedes-Benz C291 for the 1991 season, which complied with the new SWC regulations. The C291 featured a 3.5-liter engine, but unfortunately, technical difficulties plagued the car’s performance. As a result, Mercedes opted to continue with the C11 for the remainder of the season, ultimately leaving the C291 behind.

By 1992, Mercedes had planned to introduce the C292, but this was never realized. Faced with mounting issues in Group C, Mercedes made the bold decision to withdraw from the category and refocus its efforts on Formula 1. This marked the end of Mercedes-Benz’s involvement in the Group C series, signaling a shift towards a new chapter in motorsport.

The Group C era was an important part of Mercedes-Benz’s motorsport legacy, filled with both achievements and setbacks. While the brand's time in the sportscar racing world was relatively short, it left an indelible mark. The dominance of cars like the C9 and C11 showcased Mercedes-Benz's engineering prowess and cemented its status as a formidable force in motorsport. Although Mercedes would not return to the top tier of sportscar racing until 1997, their journey through the Group C category is a fascinating chapter that continues to be remembered by motorsport enthusiasts around the world.
Mercedes-Benz’s foray into Group C racing may have been brief, but it proved that even in the face of challenges, their commitment to innovation and success in motorsport would continue to shape their future endeavors in the racing world.

The Mazda 787B is more than just a machine; it represents a moment in time when the underdog triumphed, rewriting the rules of what was possible. (Picture from: Autoblog)
Despite the glory, the win sparked debate within the racing community. Some viewed the subsequent ban on rotary engines as a measure to level the playing field, while others suspected it was a reaction to Mazda’s dominance. Regardless of the reasons, the decision added a layer of mystique to the 787B’s legacy, cementing its place as a symbol of both triumph and controversy.
Today, the Mazda 787B is enshrined in the Mazda Museum in Hiroshima, where it continues to inspire visitors with its legacy of innovation and perseverance. Positioned as a proud reminder of Japanese excellence, the car remains a testament to Mazda’s ability to challenge the odds and emerge victorious on a global stage.
For car enthusiasts and history buffs alike, the Mazda 787B is more than just a machine; it represents a moment in time when the underdog triumphed, rewriting the rules of what was possible. Its story serves as an enduring inspiration, proving that determination and ingenuity can create legends that outlast the competition. The 787B’s legacy will continue to resonate with those who value the thrill of the race and the spirit of innovation..

6 Forgotten Supercars from the 90s That Deserve More Recognition

Raw of BEASTS - The 1990s was an era marked by significant advancements in automotive engineering, especially in the realm of supercars. These were the years when manufacturers pushed the boundaries of speed, power, and design, creating vehicles that captured the hearts of enthusiasts and set new standards for performance. One of the most exciting aspects of that decade was the production of unique and often forgotten supercars that, despite their extraordinary capabilities, failed to maintain long-term fame.
The 1996 Vector M12, one example of a 1990s supercar that deserves more recognition. (Picture from: GearHeads)
Among these, several cars stand out, each offering a glimpse into the vision of automotive excellence that defined the 1990s. Here they are another six forgotten and obscure supercars known ever produced in nineties.

1. Jaguar XJR-15
Jaguar’s XJR-15 is one such example, a true testament to the British manufacturer’s ambition to produce a supercar that could rival the best. Built between 1990 and 1992, only 53 units of the XJR-15 were produced, a rare gem in the supercar world. Powered by a 6.0-liter V12 engine, this car boasted 450 horsepower, which was impressive at the time.
The 1990 Jaguar XJR-15, built for a new series called the Intercontinental Challenge, was a limited-production supercar created by Jaguar Sport, a partnership between Jaguar and TWR. (Picture from: GearHeads)
For the Japanese market, a limited number of LM versions were produced, equipped with a 7.4-liter V12 engine capable of an astonishing 700 horsepower, offering a true racing pedigree.

2. Lister Storm
Another car that makes this list is the Lister Storm, an embodiment of British engineering with a twist. Built using the same 7.0-liter V12 engine from the Jaguar XJR-9, the Lister Storm was capable of 546 horsepower and reached a 0-60 mph time of just 4.1 seconds.
The 1993 Lister Storm was a homologated GT racing car manufactured by British low-volume automobile manufacturer Lister Cars with production beginning in 1993. (Picture from: DevianArt)
This made it the fastest accelerating four-seater saloon in the world at the time, a title it held until 2006. With only four units built, the Lister Storm remains one of the rarest and most fascinating supercars of the 1990s.

3. Dauer 962 Le Mans
The Dauer 962 Le Mans is another standout, a car that bridges the gap between racing and road legality. Originally designed for the prestigious 24 Hours of Le Mans, the Dauer 962 quickly became known for its remarkable speed and performance, winning the 1994 Le Mans event.
The 1994 Dauer 962 Le Mans is a sports car based on the Porsche 962 Group C racing car, built by German manufacturer Jochen Dauer's Dauer Racing. (Picture from: Supercars.net)
With just a dozen units produced, this Porsche-based supercar featured a flat-six engine capable of 730 horsepower, allowing it to reach speeds over 250 mph. The Dauer 962 was a product of intense racing heritage, demonstrating the sheer power that could be harnessed in a street-legal car.

4. Vector M12
Next is the Vector M12, a car that, despite being overshadowed by more famous supercars, showcased impressive power and performance. Produced by the American manufacturer Vector Motors, only 18 units were built. The M12 featured a 5.7-liter Lamborghini V12 engine, delivering 492 horsepower.
The 1996 Vector M12 was loosely built based on the WX-3 but powered by a version of the Lamborghini Diablo's V12 engine. (Picture from: Supercars.net)
Though it didn't reach the dizzying heights of other supercars, with a top speed of 189 mph and acceleration to 60 mph in 4.8 seconds, the M12 was a strong competitor in its own right. Yet, it didn’t achieve the lasting fame that some of its peers enjoyed.

5. TVR Cerbera Speed 12
The TVR Cerbera Speed 12 was perhaps the most daring of all the forgotten supercars of the 1990s. A car that never left the prototype phase, it still managed to capture the imagination of enthusiasts. Powered by a 7.7-liter V12 engine, the Cerbera Speed 12 was capable of producing over 900 horsepower, a number that may have been even higher due to its understated nature.
Not only does the 1997 TVR Cerbera Speed 12 have a fierce and intimidating look, but it also delivers astonishing power. (Picture from: Wikimedia)
It was initially intended for Le Mans but instead became a formidable competitor in the FIA GT Championship, even though its true potential was never fully realized on public roads.

6. Aston Martin V8 Vantage Le Mans
Finally, the Aston Martin V8 Vantage Le Mans stands out as a blend of British luxury and racing performance. Produced in a limited run of just 40 units in 1999, the V8 Vantage Le Mans was a celebration of Aston Martin’s victory at Le Mans 40 years prior.
The 1999 Aston Martin V8 Vantage Le Mans constructed with an aluminium body it was the very last model to be powered by the legendary Tadek Marek's renowned V8 engine. (Picture from: TopCarRating)
With a Tadek Marek's supercharged 5.3-liter V8 engine producing 600 horsepower, the V8 Vantage Le Mans was capable of a top speed of 200 mph and could accelerate from 0-60 mph in just 4 seconds. Despite its performance credentials, it remains one of the more obscure entries in the world of 1990s supercars. 

These forgotten supercars represent the pinnacle of 1990s engineering, with each one offering unique features and specifications that set them apart from the rest. As time goes on, the legacy of these remarkable vehicles only grows, reminding us that even in an era filled with iconic supercars, there were still those that slipped under the radar, waiting to be rediscovered.

BMW-Powered Tirrito Ayrton R: Italy’s Bold and Unconventional Supercar

Weird ONES - Italy is synonymous with art, culture, and design. This reputation extends to the automotive industry, where the country has produced countless iconic vehicles, from the luxurious to the eccentric. Italy's cars are not just modes of transport but often a statement of style and engineering prowess. In a world where Ferrari, Lamborghini, and Maserati dominate headlines, there exists a hidden niche of boutique automakers. These smaller brands strive to capture the same spirit of innovation and performance but often do so in ways that are unique or unconventional. One such example is Tirrito Cars, an ambitious project born from passion and deeply rooted in Italian automotive tradition.

Tirrito Cars, founded by Andrea Tirrito in 2010, is an example of a dreamer’s dedication to crafting a supercar that stands apart from the rest. The company made its public debut with the Ayrton S, a concept car that served as the starting point for what would later become the Ayrton R. Displayed at the prestigious 2011 Top Marques Monaco, the Ayrton R is a clear example of Tirrito’s bold vision, though it has left many onlookers puzzled due to its unorthodox design. The car's striking, angular lines and unusual proportions make it a visual anomaly in a world where fluidity and sleekness often take precedence. While the Ayrton R may have divided opinions, it certainly did not go unnoticed.
Tirrito's first car, named the Ayrton S, was introduced in 2010, marking the company's debut in the world of high-performance automotive design. (Picture from: WeirdWheels)
The story behind Tirrito Cars begins with Andrea Tirrito’s childhood, growing up in his father’s body shop where he developed a deep connection to cars. His journey into the automotive world was marked by hands-on experience and a fearless approach to creation. As a teenager, Andrea demonstrated his knack for innovation by building a go-kart using an old motorcycle engine. He later surprised his peers with a remarkable feat—constructing a fully functional replica of the Williams FW18 Formula 1 car at just eighteen years old. This replica was so well made that it garnered the attention of Formula 1 enthusiasts and even appeared on magazine covers.

Driven by his passion, Tirrito didn’t stop at one successful project. He went on to recreate several other grand prix cars, including McLaren’s MP4-14, MP4-15, and MP4-16 models, further honing his skills and earning praise for the accuracy and performance of his replicas. However, Andrea’s true aspiration was not to replicate but to innovate. His dream of designing and building his own high-performance sports car led him to create the Vajon RTT in 2006. This initial venture into car production served as the foundation for what would eventually become the Ayrton series.

The Ayrton models, named in honor of legendary Brazilian Formula 1 driver Ayrton Senna, are intended to embody both performance and innovation. Tirrito planned three different versions of the Ayrton, each with varying power outputs: the Ayrton R, S, and T. The Ayrton R, the most powerful of the trio, is equipped with a V10 engine delivering 627 horsepower. Meanwhile, the S version offers 550 horsepower, and the T version rounds out the lineup with 500 horsepower. Despite these differences in power, all versions of the Ayrton share a focus on lightweight construction, tipping the scales at just 1,120 kg, which ensures agile handling and blistering acceleration.

The Ayrton R, in particular, boasts an array of impressive specifications. Its V10 engine powers the rear wheels through a six-speed manual transmission, promising an engaging driving experience. The car's dimensions—4,630 mm in length, 2,050 mm in width, and 1,200 mm in height—give it a low, wide stance that complements its aggressive design. Large 19-inch wheels with 245/35 tires at the front and 335/25 tires at the rear provide ample grip, while six-pot brake calipers and oversized discs ensure that the Ayrton R can come to a stop as quickly as it accelerates.

One of the most remarkable features of the Ayrton R is its performance capabilities. Powered by a BMW M5 engine, the car is expected to produce nearly 630 horsepower. This allows it to accelerate from 0 to 60 mph in just three seconds and achieve a top speed of over 205 mph. For a boutique automaker like Tirrito Cars, these numbers are impressive and put the Ayrton R in direct competition with some of the world's most renowned supercars. However, unlike mainstream manufacturers, Tirrito Cars will only produce a limited number of units—no more than 50 Ayrton Rs will be made, each priced at under half a million dollars.

Despite its bold ambitions and impressive specs, the Ayrton R has struggled to win over everyone. While it certainly has the performance to match other supercars, its design has been a topic of debate. Some critics have pointed out the disjointed nature of the car's aesthetics, noting that elements like its sharp, angular lines and unusual headlights do not create a cohesive look. Yet, for others, the Ayrton R's unconventional design is part of its charm, setting it apart from the more polished but predictable offerings of other manufacturers. | 5ZL8mybEvi0 | r2Uj8r_bf9U |
Ultimately, Tirrito Cars is a testament to the spirit of innovation that defines the Italian automotive industry. Andrea Tirrito’s journey from building go-karts in his father’s garage to creating high-performance supercars reflects the passion and dedication that drive many of Italy’s greatest automotive minds. While the Ayrton R may not appeal to everyone, it remains a bold statement of what can be achieved when creativity, engineering, and ambition come together. For those looking for something different in the world of supercars, the Ayrton R represents a daring alternative.
