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.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe 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\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cmeta charset=\"utf-8\"\u003eAbout the Model\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis is a 1\/24 scale plastic model assembly kit of the Mercedes-Benz 300 SL.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eLength: 188mm, Width: 75mm, Height: 53mm.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe complex tubular space frame is given a breathtaking rendition in 1\/24 scale.
