1:24 Mercedes Benz 300SL Gullwing

As a classic sports car, the Mercedes-Benz 300 SL completes the Tamiya 1:24 scale sports car series. The original vehicle was originally produced as a prototype for the in-house racing team to compete in national races and championships. In 1954, a production car debuted at the New York International Auto Show.

Despite its "street car" status, the 300 SL was a racy and elegant vehicle that was very popular and well received in the United States. It featured a 3-liter inline 6-cylinder engine - hence the "300" in its name-, an extremely lightweight body - SL stands for "Sport Leicht" or "Light Sport"- and the distinctive gullwing doors. By the end of production in May 1957, 1,400 units had been produced.

The Tamiya kit reflects all the details: the complex lattice tube frame, the distinctive gullwing doors and many more - so the model is in no way inferior to the original.
