It was a 1954 release, and drew largely upon a successful racing prototype from 2 years earlier, inheriting the inner mechanics of a race car and THAT sublime silhouette. What could the world do but embrace such a thing of beauty? In fact, the gull wings were not only an aesthetic masterstroke, they were born of necessity: the 300 SL's state-of-the-art tubular space frame made the use of \"regular\" side-opening doors somewhat impractical. The body had in fact received a few minor tweaks from the original prototype, resulting in a more elegant road-going sports car-esque appearance. Power was provided by an inline-6 engine that featured direct injection technology (a world first) that generated 215hp and a considerable amount of speed. Naturally, fans across the world clamored (and still do) to get their hands on the 300 SL.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"TAMIYA","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":45254166511639,"sku":"24338-000","price":83.95,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0787\/6637\/4935\/files\/24338-000.jpg?v=1783504469","url":"https:\/\/www.hobbyvault.com.au\/products\/tamiya-1-24-mercedes-benz-300sl","provider":"Hobby Vault Co","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
