Mercedes 300SL/R by Gullwing America


Carrera Panamericana is a border-to-border sports car racing event that run between 1950 and 1954. During the third edition — in 1952 — the Mercedes-Benz 300SL of Kling and Hans Klenk scored an impressive victory, taking first and second place of the podium. Now, 60 years later, Gullwing America (GWA) pays tribute to this legendary win by unveiling of a specially designed 300SL/R.

The standard Mercedes 300SL model was powered by a 3.0 liter straight-six engine with 115 horsepower. In the R version, the engine was fitted only with carburetors and it delivered a total of 175 horsepower. GWA decided to scrap the base engine and and replace it with a 6.3-liter V-8 engine mated to a new transmission. GWA said nothing about the engine?s final output, but in its standard version, this V-8 engine delivers a total of 525 horsepower.

GWA?s 300SL/R also received a modified brake system with bigger calipers, a set of retro-inspired 19-inch Monoblock wheels, racing seats and a roll bar.

The model will be carried by a branded Mercedes-Benz transporter in a tour around the world.
