Mercedes Benz ROADSTER SL 300 W198 II 1960 Gallery
Mercedes Benz roadster 300SL year 1960 Pictures Credits: This 300SL is for Sale at: www.youtube.com www.leftcoastclassics.com Production1952-1953 (racing car) 1955-1963 (production car) 3258 built[1] Coupé: 1400 Roadster: 1858 6 Cylinder / 2996 cc – 215 BHP 4-Speed Manual The Mercedes-Benz 300SL was introduced in 1954 as a two-seat, closed sports car with distinctive gull-wing doors. Later it was offered as an open roadster. It was the fastest production car of its day. Built by Daimler-Benz AG and internally numbered W198, the fuel-injected road version was based (somewhat loosely) on the company’s highly successful competition-only sports car of 1952, the somewhat less powerful carbureted Mercedes-Benz 300SL (W194). The road model was suggested by Max Hoffman. Being intended for customers in the booming post-war American market it was introduced at the 1954 New York Auto Show, unlike previous models introduced at either the Frankfurt or Geneva shows. In Mercedes-Benz fashion, the “300″ referred to the engine’s three liter cylinder displacement. The “SL” stood for “Sport Leicht” (Sport Light). The 300SL was best known for both its distinctive gull wing doors and being the first-ever gasoline-powered car equipped with fuel injection directly into the combustion chamber. The gull wing version was available from March 1955 to 1957. Production of the roadster ended in 1963 with the introduction of the 230SL.

Mercedes Gullwing 300 SL – Greatest Ever Sports Cars Nº6
” Inspired form and revolutionary function come together in the Mercedes Gullwing SL at number 6.” ” It’s such a work of art. It really is, you know, it’s stunning. It’s better than any Picasso.” ” The lines of the Gullwing are pretty much perfect. The frame of the car has its wonderful torch shape and yet has really voluptuous curves, but they’re not the voluptuous curves that, like the Chevy Corvette, which are a bit over the top and brazen and showy. These curves are kept in check and you know that the car has been designed to be super aerodynamic and yet it’s hugely glamorous at the same time.” ” Driving a car and then the doors got up a little gas struts was really Christ, but if you wanna make a steer in those days you arrive in a Gullwing, you’ve made it.” ” Certainly, the Gullwing is a milestone car, aesthetically, technologically. I mean it stunned the world when it came out. Everybody just went, “Holy Mack! Look at the technology that is put in that thing.”" ” Its tubular space frame made the Gullwing extra rigid, crucial for control at high speeds, and at only 82 kilograms, the frame was as light as a feather, but those same tubes took up a room where the bottom of the doors would go, so instead, they would hinge on the roof and lift up as opposed to out.” ” It was a practical piece of design, but warmed up becoming the car’s exotic signature.” ” I mean those doors were just unbelievable. They really look like a bird with the window—- with the doors open, and …
