For the 1913 French Grand Prix, the German motor manufacturer Mercedes entered a new car, with a distinctive V shaped radiator. As you are probably aware, France and Germany have never had particularly close ties, and so instead of calling it the Mercedes Grand Prix, called it the Rennwagen, which I believe is German for 'racing car'. This is a reconstruction based on original parts, and seen at the Vintage Sports Car Club's Mallory Park race meeting in August 2011
