That feeling you're getting, right now? That's your body trying to cope with the fact that you'll never be as awesome as Fangio winning the 1954 French Grand Prix in a Mercedes W196 R. This was the first Grand Prix entry by Mercedes that was naturally aspirated, and eventually the 2.5L straight-8 engine went on to make 340hp at 10,000rpm.
This exact car, raced by Juan Manuel Fangio, sold at auction this past July for £19.7M, or $31.7M.
