10 Best Mercedes Models of All Time

3. MERCEDES-BENZ 300 SL GULLWING

I think you all loved and still love the Mercedes-Benz 300 SL Gullwing.

This amazing automobile was the first iteration of the SL-Class grand tourer convertibles and fastest production car of its day.

The 300 SL Gullwing was introduced in 1954 as a two-seat sports car with distinctive gull-wing doors which later offered as an open roadster.

You might think the car was only known for the gull wing doors, but the Mercedes-Benz 300 SL Gullwing was also best known for the first-ever consumer fuel-injection and world’s fastest top speed.

The 300 SL Gullwing was powered by an in-line six-cylinder engine that was capable of developing 158 kW with petrol direct injection, and was capable of reaching speeds of up to 161 mph.
