The Mercedes-Benz W125 was a Grand Prix racing car that Mercedes-Benz built for the 1937 season, designed by Rudolf Uhlenhaut after the company withdrew its uncompetitive W25 midway through 1936. It had a stiffer tubular frame of nickel-chrome molybdenum steel and an unpainted aluminium body, making it one of the Silver Arrows. Its supercharged 5.7 litre straight-eight engine produced between 560 and 595 horsepower in race trim, and Rudolf Caracciola won the 1937 European Championship in it, with Mercedes drivers taking the top four places in the table. A Rekordwagen version with a V12 engine was clocked at 432.7 km/h. New 1938 rules limiting supercharged engines to 3000 cc made it ineligible, and the W154 replaced it.
