Mercer Raceabout

The Mercer Raceabout is considered one of America's first true sports cars and remains highly collectible today. Its stripped-down design prioritized performance over comfort, with drivers sitting behind a tiny monocle windscreen. The T-head inline-four delivered excellent power-to-weight ratio, making the Raceabout competitive in racing. Its combination of speed, handling, and rakish good looks made it a favorite of wealthy sportsmen.
