The Mercedes 60hp, also called the Mercedes Simplex 60 hp, was the top of the range Mercedes built by Daimler-Motoren-Gesellschaft in 1903 and 1904. It belonged to the Simplex series, which aimed at owners who preferred to drive rather than be driven, and unlike its racing predecessor the Mercedes 35hp it was a touring car for the wealthy. It had a low pressed steel chassis and a cast-alloy engine of 9.3 litres, giving a top speed of about 109 km/h, and could be bodied for two or four passengers. Only 102 chassis were built and four are known to survive. Harry Harkness used one to set the first record for the Mount Washington Hillclimb in July 1904.
