Aluminium
‘Silberpfeil’ model car. In 1934, the governing body of international motor racing set the maximum weight for Grand Prix racing cars at 750 kg, excluding tyres and fuel. The Germans decided to reduce the weight by removing the lead-based paint that characterised the traditional white livery of their cars, thereby exposing the distinctive shiny aluminium. The victory of one such car earned it the nickname ‘Silver Arrow’. Their successors, which were built on the same chassis, continued to race successfully at the Indy 500 after the war.
