Description

[1950s famous sports car that fascinated celebrities all over the world]
――The so-called gull-wing door, which opens upward, can be said to be an element of a super sports car.
――The Mercedes-Benz 300SL sports car with this [Gull Wing] nickname made its debut in 1954.
――The high-performance and attractive form that adopted the mechanism of the prototype sports car that showed great success in the 1952 race immediately captivated celebrities all over the world.
――Among them, the multi-tubular space frame was the most advanced racing technology at that time.
――Because the frame is on the side of the body, it cannot be used as a normal side-opening door, and the gull-wing door was adopted as a structural necessity.
-In addition, the body has changed from a smooth prototype form with little air resistance to an elegant figure suitable for a luxury sports car.
――It is also known as the fastest one equipped with the world’s first in-line 6-cylinder gasoline engine with an in-cylinder fuel injection device that demonstrates 215 horsepower, and it is still envy of fans.
