Utilizing mechanical direct fuel-injection, the car produced 240hp (a racing camshaft could be fitted for even more power) and featured dry sump lubrication. Much like later Ferraris and the Jaguar E-Type, the 300 SL was available with both steel and lightweight alloy bodies to cater to those looking to race their car. While its high price and complexity limited its sales figures, the "Gullwing" is arguably one of the world's first supercars and is fondly remembered as such.Naturally, with such a enduring legacy, it is of no surprise various companies have attempted to produce replicas of the car. Speedster Motorcars of Clearwater, Florida - famous for its recreations of the "boattail" Auburns from the 1930s - built twenty such cars prior to its closure in the 2000s using custom tube frames, fiberglass bodies, and GM motors/ transmissions. Built to the same high standard as their Auburn tributes, their "Gullwing" offers the appearance of an original with modern conveniences such as an automatic transmission and air conditioning. With original 300 SLs routinely trading over the million dollar range, replicas are often the only way for an enthusiast to enjoy one of these phenomenal motorcars.The magnificent 1955 Mercedes-Benz 300 SL 'Gullwing' Coupe Recreation featured here is finished in a stunning color combination of Signal Red over a Beige leather interior. This exceptional vehicle was built by world-renowned coach-builder Speedster Motorcars, a company specializing in some of the highest-quality replicas on the market today. Only 20 examples were produced, making this the perfect Mercedes-Benz 300 SL recreation to buy and enjoy. Offered to the most sophisticated collector, investor, or enthusiast who desires to drive and enjoy a Mercedes-Benz 300 SL 'Gullwing' without a two million-dollar investment!
