History of the C11

The Mercedes-Benz C11 was developed as the company's flagship entry into the ultra-competitive FIA Group C racing championship.

Development began in 1988 with a focus on combining innovative aerodynamics, lightweight construction, and turbocharged power to compete at the highest international racing levels.

The C11 debuted in 1990 and immediately made an impact in Group C competition, establishing itself as a formidable contender on European and international circuits.

Production concluded in 1991 as Group C racing entered its final seasons, with only 11 examples built exclusively for competition purposes.
