The Mercedes-Benz Type 380K emerged as the supercharged evolution of the W22 platform, designed to deliver unmatched performance and luxury.
Development focused on integrating a powerful supercharged eight-cylinder engine with modern chassis technology, building upon the successful W21 foundation.
Launch in 1933 positioned the 380K as the ultimate expression of pre-war Mercedes-Benz engineering, available in exclusive sports and touring configurations.
Production concluded in 1934 after just 142 units, making way for the more advanced W23 series with further refinements.
