The Sauber Mercedes C9 was a dominant Group C prototype racer that brought Mercedes-Benz back to international sports car competition in the late 1980s. The 1989 test car variant was used for development and fine-tuning ahead of the season that would see the C9 achieve legendary status. Powered by a twin-turbocharged 5.0-liter Mercedes-Benz M119 V8, it delivered immense straight-line speed and endurance-winning reliability.
