History:
The 300 SL Roadster was presented in March 1957 at the Geneva Motor Show as the successor to the Gullwing model, which had already been introduced in 1954, and was practically demanded by the then importer in America, Maximilian Hoffmann.
Externally, the car differs from the coupé in the front area by different headlights and, of course, by the fabric roof.
However, to allow for easy entry even with the roof closed and to equip the car with conventional doors hinged at the A-pillar, the tubular space frame had to be fundamentally redesigned. The now "normal" entry also meant that the coupé's folding steering wheel was no longer needed.
The chassis was also improved and received a single-joint swing axle, which provided significantly greater driving stability than the sometimes treacherous double-joint swing axle of the coupé.
Furthermore, starting in 1961, the Roadster was the first Mercedes passenger car to be equipped with disc brakes all around.
215 hp from the three-liter six-cylinder engine 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 era.
During the production period from 1957 to 1963, 1,858 examples of the open and extremely elegant, elongated 300 SL were produced, which, incidentally, laid the foundation for the SL myth that continues to this day.
