300 SL Coupé, W198 I, 1954-1957

Product Description

Four miniatures of Mercedes-Benz vehicles, including the Mercedes-Benz 300 SL "Gullwing", earned top spots in a readers’ poll by the German model car magazine “MODELL FAHRZEUG”. In addition Mercedes-Benz won the “Premium brand auto industry” category.

The 300 SL “Gullwing” made its debut at the International Motor Sport Show in New York in February 1954. The high-performance sports car was based on the legendary 1952-season racing car. The unmistakable hallmark of the vehicle was the gullwing door design, and the four-stroke engine with petrol injection was a world’s first for a series-produced passenger car. With a top speed of up to 250 km/h, this was the fastest series-produced vehicle of its time and the dream sports car of the 1950s.

300 SL, various colours. Diecast metal. Scale 1:12. Genuine paintwork colours. Accurate reproduction. Hand-assembled precision model made up of over 250 individual parts. High-quality printed interior. By Premium ClassiXXs for Mercedes-Benz.
