History of the C112

The C112 Concept represented Mercedes-Benz's exploration into mid-engine supercar territory at the 1991 Geneva Motor Show.

Development began in the late 1980s as Mercedes sought to create a performance flagship that would challenge Italian supercar manufacturers.

The prototype debuted at the 1991 Geneva Motor Show to critical acclaim and widespread international media attention.

No production variant was ever developed, leaving the C112 as a singular vision of what Mercedes-Benz could achieve in the hypercar segment.
