CMC Mercedes-Benz 300 SL, W198, Roadster Hardtop in white
Limited edition: 1,500 pieces
Paint: white DB 050
Interior: red
Features: removable hardtop, hardtop stand, adjustable sun visors, opening ashtray, as well as folding seats and removable hubcaps
History of the original vehicle:
The 300 SL Roadster was introduced in March 1957 at the Geneva Motor Show as the successor to the gullwing car introduced in 1954 and was practically demanded by the importer in America at the time, Maximilian Hoffmann.
Externally, the car differs from the coupé at the front by its different headlights and, of course, by the fabric convertible top.
But to allow for convenient entry even with the roof closed and to equip the car with doors hinged conventionally at the A-pillar, the tubular frame had to be fundamentally redesigned. The now "normal" entry also eliminated the coupé's folding steering wheel.
The suspension was also improved and received a single-jointed swing axle, which ensured significantly higher driving stability than the sometimes treacherous double-jointed swing axle of the coupé.
The roadster was also equipped with disc brakes all around from 1961 onwards, making it the first Mercedes passenger car to do so.
215 hp from the three-liter six-cylinder with direct injection and a top speed of 250 km/h were a real statement at the time and were enough to go down in history as one of the most powerful super sports cars of its time.
During its production from 1957 to 1963, 1,858 examples of the open and extremely elegant, elongated 300 SL were built, which incidentally laid the foundation for the SL myth that continues to this day.
